In patients' words

"Within 5 minutes Dr Marka diagnosed and treated my condition. So impressed on my third dose of injection dupixant today. Thank you. Dr Marka !"

— Seacoast Dermatology Website

"She was rude, curt, dismissive and judgmental! She didn't ask me questions or apparently read my five page health questionnaire and jumped to conclusions after a minute saying 'I can't help you.'"

— Healthgrades

"I felt rushed and there was no explanation given as to how deep the cut was (it had to be cauterized) and no instructions to help with the healing process... This was the worse encounter I've ever had with a dermatologist."

— Vitals

"I would not go to anyone else. He inspires confidence."
