Arnold MARKOWITZ MD
Infectious Disease - Michigan

The fact truly is that if I hadn't found infectious disease Dr. Markowitz, I know that I would be totally debilitated today.

Dr. Markowitz become my primary care physician in 1987, and continues to see me, as a unique person, not as a nurse or as a patient but as an individual. He treats me with respect and does not brush off my reported symptoms as over reaction on my part.

When I met him, I was a nurse working on a telemetry unit and frequently saw Dr. Markowitz rounding on his patients. I was a new mother and was miserably run down and tired.

My former primary care physician had patted me on the back and assured me that I was experiencing normal post partum depression Dr. Markowitz stopped me in the hall and asked how I was feeling. He commented that I was not as he remembered me before my maternity leave. He felt my skin and my hair and did a discreet visual scan and told me he was pretty sure that he knew why I was feeling so wiped out. I saw him a few days later in his office and he ran some lab exams and started me on synthroid stating that I was “classic thyroid.” I was impressed that he would even notice me as an individual since we were both in work mode.

He has subsequently treated a family member in the context of an infectious disease with his usual excellent standards.

I live in Waterford, Michigan.

I suggest this doctor because I went to half a dozen other doctors prior. Dr. Markowitz was the first one that requested an extremely comprehensive workup based on his exam. His exam included extensive questions about what I do. He was like a bloodhound on the scent of a trail, determined to figure out the source of my symptoms.

Some of the labs he requested were obscure, and the hospital was unfamiliar with them. But he hit the nail on the head and identified and treated a rare infectious disease associated with some of my hobbies.

Don't wait for other doctors to fail you. Start with Dr. Markowitz!
