Dr. Marker has focused his practice on excellence in patient care by taking a compassionate and intentional approach to the people of the Wiregrass, addressing their needs with a servant’s heart. His overall goal is to provide the best level of care through minimally invasive techniques while striving to meet the needs of his patients by putting their best interests first. He has one of the most minimally invasive skill sets in the region. In fact, most of the complex cases he performs including bariatric, colorectal, hernia and anti-reflux procedures are done utilizing the da Vinci robot with minimal incisions and quick recovery times. He performed the first laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss in Dothan, and followed that by performing the first robotic sleeve gastrectomy in the area as well. He also performed the first right colectomy in the state of Alabama on the da Vinci robotic Xi Platform. Recently, in recognition of his commitment to advancing the field of minimally invasive surgery, he was selected to serve as a site mentor for Intuitive Surgical, allowing him to train other surgeons to perform robotic procedures. In addition, he was instrumental in bringing the first and only comprehensive genetic testing program to Dothan, giving advanced screening and treatment options to patients having cancer risks that were previously unavailable.
