Dr. Mark Eskandari -- or "Saint Mark", as I call him (I call anyone who has saved my life, in this case with endarterectomy surgery, "Saint" -- is incredibly compassionate, patient (get it? "patient") and obviously professional. He listens and always comprehensively answers my questions and addressed my concerns. But then I'm not telling you anything you doh't already know, so I'm moving on to the next question. :)

Dr. Mark K. Eskandari is without doubt one of the finest physicians I have ever met. He is a brilliant diagnostician and practitioner. Apart from being the best in his field, he is also incredibly astute in multiple aspects of Medicine. He stepped in several years ago and took control of a case and thereby saved my husbandâ€™s life on something completely unrelated - a rampant staph infection. I have complete confidence in his judgment, which couldnâ€™t be more reassuring in a physician. I have referred friends to him and they too have had outstanding care from Dr. Eskandari.
