URochester Medicine patient testimonial

"He told me to see a therapist and when I said I was he said that I needed to use mindful imagery to wish my pain away. As if that wasn't the worst thing. Then I read his notes for the visit on MyChart. He lied about so much."

Healthgrades review for Dr. John Markman

"The glittering marketing rhetoric in their brochure about working intimately with every patient is not to be believed: this place is a mill: follow orders, pay your bill and don't ask questions."
