Gary David Markowitz, MD, Rochester NY

My grandson has been being treated by Dr. Markowitz since he was 13 months old. He is infinitely patient with fidgety children and their concerned caregivers. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and we trust him implicitly with my grandson’s precious sight. The staff is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this office for pediatric ophthalmology.

The nurses were amazing! Dr. Markowitz has no bedside manner. He was rude and impatient with my 2 year old son. He accused me of "bringing a sick kid to his office and lying to the health screener" because my son has a reflux cough (he's had it for over a year and takes Zantac for it! It's not a cold!) I tried to explain this to him and he rolled his eyes at me and told me to "get out of his office and that I was irresponsible for bringing in a sick kid. " He then stated "your son has an astigmatism in his eye, but I'm not going to finish the exam with a sick kid, so I can't tell you if he needs glasses" and walked out of the room. I was mortified! I started crying! But i have to give credit to the nurses and support staff who were all wonderful!

Dr Markowitz and his staff are great with my daughter. Very patient and take the time to answer all of my questions, even when I remember “one last question” in that hallway as he is on his way to see other patients. I am a big fan, as is my daughter.

He is an awesome doctor! I’m not sure why someone would write anything negative about him. My daughter started seeing him at age 3. He was amazing with her, he answers all questions and he takes his time with her. He educated me as well as my daughter. He’s truly awesome!
