Expertise

Cardiology | Cardiovascular Disease | Hypertension

As board certified cardiologist and nuclear cardiologist, I like to have my patients on the least amount of medication that is feasible. I try to take care of patients as if they were family members.

I earned my medical degree at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, completed a residency at Montefiore Medical Center and a fellowship at North Shore University Hospital in New York. I have special interest and skills in pacemaker and defibrillator implants and I am a fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

Outside of work, I bike on Sundays (with good weather), play racquet sports and enjoy teasing my friends and family.

“Recent visit with Dr Markson and staff for a recent condition discovered at the VA Allentown clinic. Within a few minutes of the visit I was put at ease with the knowledge and treatment by staff. After the prelim interview, I met with Dr Markson. This was a bit of a life-changing experience. During the interview, Dr Markson advised me that the med I've taken for several years is not the correct medication for the condition I have and explained why in a way I understood. This is the first ever visit at a doctors office where I did NOT feel 'white coat syndrome'. I felt at home.”
