Markoff Gary MD

This doctor is by far the best obgyn ever!!!

Great Doctor!
Dr. Markoff has been my wife’s doctor of choice during our pregnancies. He is very professional. Even after our move to CT my wife made me drive from CT to Manhattan all the time because she wanted to stay with Dr. Markoff. We have two healthy children and are very thankful.

I unfortunately been going to Dr. Markoff for a couple of years. He’s «ok» if you have absolutely nothing wrong with you ever or if you are in the family way. Otherwise, he’s asleep at uh the wheel! I went to him with bad pains in my lower left side. He did an exam and STD tests I did not need, told me it was probably my colon/​IBS. 5 months later I went to my GP with worse pains who felt «something» there and set me for an ultrasound finally and was shocked that Dr. Markoff did not order this simple test earlier. I have 3 HUGE fibroids that Dr. Markoff completely missed and for my GP to be able to feel it w/​o doing an internal exam trust me, Dr. Markoff should have felt them! In the middle of all of this I was also having breast issues that Dr. Markoff took a very laid back attitude «oh I’m sure it’s nothing.» I had to insist on having tests done elsewhere and I’m glad I did b/​c it wasn’t «nothing.» I have since moved on to a breast surgeon no thanks or help from him! If you see Dr. Markoff just hope you don’t truly have anything wrong with you! Oh and Dr. Markoff please please please STOP YAWNING when talking to your patients. It’s rude!

Dr. Markoff performed a c-​section on my wife to deliver my daughter. I don’t understand the negative reviews at ALL, he not only performed wonderfully (2 months later and you can barely see the scar), but also consistently demonstrated real caring, making sure both mother and baby were comfortable, healthy, etc. There’s a reason why they picked him to help train new doctors at one of the best hospitals in the city (and by extension, the country)!

He’s very skilled, but not warm or friendly.

I NEVER write reviews, either positive or negative, but I feel compelled to offer another opinion after the previous negative review. Dr. Markoff has been my ob/​gyn for close to a decade. He is an excellent doctor; with a remarkably compassionate and sensitive bedside manner. I would recommend him without reservation.

I usually do not write negative things about others, but I feel this is important for women looking for a gynecologist. Although Dr. Markoff is clearly qualified professionally, if you are looking for a comfortable experience, this is not the place to look first.
