Dr. Markovitz

I’ve been fortunate to serve patients from all walks of life, soldiers, dancers, families, and each experience reminds me how vital sight is to living fully. Advancements in all aspects of eye care from cataract and laser surgery to diabetic eye care continue to make my patient care and teaching more rewarding every year.
