Vladimir Markovic's Online Review Report Card

DR. Markovic was very attentive to my well being. He listened to me, didnt ignore my issues.

After experiencing some pretty dramatic mood swings along with a host of physiological symptoms last summer, I started seeing a counselor who suggested that I get blood work done to rule out PMDD. I had it done at the office of Dr. Markovic and was called back in to review my results. I was seen by a Nurse Practitioner who said everything looked normal except that I was dehydrated. I told her that was strange because I’d had multiple glasses of water that day and was a compulsive water guzzler; she replied that folks often don’t drink as much water as they think they do and to try harder, then she dismissed me. My counselor suggested I go back for more specific thyroid-related bloodwork so I did. This time I was seen by Dt. Markovik himself. When the nurse was briefing him in the hallway I could clearly hear them mocking me through the door and insinuating that I was wasting their time. When I called back for my results the receptionist hurriedly told me that everything looked normal. My symptoms continued to worsen and when I finally got up the courage to get a second opinion from a different doctor who also gave me a blood test, she reported that my adrenals are way out of whack and that I am critically low on certain nutrients and enzymes, all this causing the dehydration, mood swings, weight gain etc. Thank goodness I finally found a good Doc, but it was not great experience with Dr. Markovik and his Norfolk office.

Even as a resident he was a realist with a calm and intelligent approach to health issues, well capable of assessing puzzling health challenges.
