Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Don’t expect to have any input to your care, if you disagree with him he gets angry, which is unprofessional and downright rude.

Usually don't bother to leave reviews, but I actually really liked going to Dr. Markou. The entire staff was friendly and laid back, yet extremely knowledgeable when it came down to details. Plan on making Dr. Markou my primary doctor while I'm in Florida.

I call them to ask about insurance... Receptionist: "Hello?...... " Me: "... Hi, is this Markou Medical?" Receptionist: "Yes...." Me: "Uhh, I just wanted to ask if you accepted any forms of insurance." Receptionist: "Yes we do." Me: "Are you able to tell me if Aetna would be in-network or out-of-network?" Receptionist: "I don't know. Hold on." On hold for 10+ minutes. Really poor first impression with this office. I feel like I just bugged someone at their home.

Dr. Markou and his entire staff are truly standout professionals. His entire team was excellent in every way, ensuring my utmost comfort. As a medical professional myself, I can say that Dr. Markou and his staff exemplify the way medical care should be delivered. Dr. Markou is a gifted surgeon and his techniques in hair restoration are clearly at the top of his field. His attention to detail is evident in every way. Highly recommended.

Dr. Markou is, by far, the best doctor I have had. I'm originally from Ohio where it seems that all doctors are terrible (they don't even try to act like they care about the patient). After moving to Florida, I was very lucky to come across a review that spoke very highly of Markou. The review was 100% accurate. Dr. Markou is polite, knowledgeable, and actually cares about your health. I am never waiting past my appointment time and they always work well with my busy work schedule. Very happy!

Dr. Markou and his staff have always been very friendly. The best part about the center is they actually care about their patients. You don't wait long and as long as you're on time, you see the doctor almost immediately. When you're feeling extremely sick, they also schedule you in asap. I don't leave reviews often, but I would definitely recommend Markou Medical!

I've been a patient at Dr. Markou's practice for several years (seeing the PA, Matt). Recently, I've had issues with the front office staff regarding scheduling an appointment for a bump that I wanted to get looked at. The lady told me that I could not be seen if the condition was pre-existing. Had to go elsewhere for treatment. So, I had a health issue that I needed to see my doctor for an was turned away. Problem has since gotten worse. Not the first time I've had this issue.
