Review for Dr. Markelov Exceptional Plastic Surgeon I recently had the pleasure of undergoing a procedure with Dr. Markelov, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his expertise and professionalism. From our very first consultation, it was evident that I was in the hands of a true professional. Dr. Markelov took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all my concerns with patience and clarity. His bedside manner is truly impeccable; he made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients, ensuring that I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I was impressed by the state-of-the-art facility and the attentive staff. Aftercare was equally exceptional—Dr. Markelov provided detailed instructions and was always available for any questions I had post-surgery. His follow-through was remarkable; he checked in to monitor my recovery and ensure that I was healing properly. Overall, my experience with Dr. Markelov exceeded all my expectations. His skill, professionalism, and compassionate care made a significant difference in my journey. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery. You will be in the best hands!

I couldn’t recommend Dr Markelov and his staff any higher!! His work is spectacular! I overcame a serious long-term illness which left me looking extremely worn out. Dr Markelov performed an upper and lower eyelid surgery COMPLETELY erasing all evidence of that time. The job he did, left me FINALLY looking as healthy on the outside as I feel on the inside! All my family and friends can’t believe the results and I’m even making people who had this done with other doctors jealous because it turned out so good! Now that says something! Both he AND his staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. If you’re looking for a cosmetic surgeon, Congratulations, you just found the best one around! Tara Garlitz

Wonderful, skilled and very caring doctor! I chose Dr. Markelov after doing a great amount of research. I flew in from another state and had an awake procedure that involved very little pain and an easy recovery. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Highly recommend Dr. Markelov and his amazing staff.
