“Extremely detailed and very personable. Dr. Markman breaks every diagnosis down into layman's terms, so that you truly understand what your issues are, and what his suggestions are for treatment/correction of your issues. He performed a Shoulder Arthroscopy on my right shoulder, and explained in detail (with color photos) what my issues were, and the corrections that he made. He’s truly one of the best overall surgeons that I’ve ever had, as he goes above and beyond to ensure that you understand what your diagnosis is, and the measures needed to rehab or repair any issues. ”

Dr. Markman was so sweet and knowledgeable. He answered all my question and made me feel so comfortable. He took his time with me and make me feel at ease with out future treatment plan. He made me feel comfortable with asking any and all questions I had.
June 30, 2026Lisa G.Verified patient
Although the wait was over an hour (Doctor just returned from vacation and was trying to get caught up,) he spent adequate time with me and explained my medical situation in great detail. My referral for a CT scan took less than 3 days to schedule. One negative point was the prescription he said he would call in for me was not done. I will have to call his office back.

Dr Markman was initially delayed due to a complication for a scheduled surgery, and I told him that I didn't mind -- that someday *I* might be that surgical complication.
December 13, 2016Stephen L S.Verified patient
I like the doctor-patient he exudes. He's professional, knowledgeable, and nice. He shows genuine interest when he's with you.
October 5, 2016Eunice P.Verified patient
There was a bit of wait before we saw him, however, it was well worth the wait! He was very knowledgeable, he took his time with us, and he answered all of the questions we had. He made sure we understood everything and the visit never seemed rushed. We would definitely recommend Dr. Markman!

HIghly recommend Dr. Markman! Wait time in lobby is long because he spends so much time with you. I'd suggest they schedule fewer patients per hour to accommodate this. I had shoulder surgery last week, and I'd never go to anyone else. He's new to Dallas but is the best!
May 18, 2016Valerie C.Verified patient
Dr. Markman is awesome. I went in for a routine follow up from a dislocated knee injury from last summer and he immediately knew something was wrong. He listened to the concerns I had with the results that were given to me by the original Dr. and ensured me, my suspensions were right. I thought I had tore some ligaments and wanted a MRI. Dr. Markman agreed and sure enough, my ACL is torn. The other Doctor kept telling me it was fine, but he wouldn't take my concerns into consideration.
I really appreciate the time Dr. Markman took out for me!
March 31, 2016Markeisha T.Verified patient
He was very nice and took extra time to explain my symptoms. I appreciated that because since I am now on Medicare, I don't always get much time with a doctor.
