South Florida Pediatric Surgeons

My daughter, Grace, was born with a birth defect called Gastroschisis. She required surgery immediately after birth and closure surgery which was 2 days after birth. I remember being super nervous about surgery, I couldn’t stop crying. Dr. Markley was the most compassionate, understanding and sweetest thing I ever met. She explained the surgery, possible risks and genuinely reassured me everything will be ok. Immediately after surgery she called me personally to inform me how surgery went. She was a breath of fresh air. After surgery my baby was seen my the surgeons until she was discharged from NICU. Dr. Puglisi and Dr. Markley personally remember us and our baby. They would update us anytime they saw us. They’re truly humble, down to earth and caring.
My daughter had an opening in her abdomen wall which caused her not to have a belly button. It brings tears to my eyes that Dr. Markley made her a belly button and her incision site looks great. I’m very happy with this practice

I arrived there 10 minutes early only to leave there not being seen. Pediatric associates put Dr.R. Puglisi name on the referral and he was not the doctor that would have seen my child. Instead of being helpful the Coral Springs office called the Plantation office to tell on me because I wouldn’t fill out the forms until they got the referral. I had the form online and they refused to offer me a solution to get it to them saying they had to get it through fax. Both offices was very unprofessional and I will be going somewhere else even though I will most likely be paying out of pocket. I’m sure my experience will be better then the one I had today.

If I could give less than 1 * I would. We waited 1.5 hours for a resident to come in she left and said the doctor would be in shortly we we were waiting in the hot room and no one came in I asked the resident where the doctor was and that we neededd to be seen because we have been waiting for so long my infant was screaming because he was so hungry the doctor came in with an horrrrible attitude and confused about why would be upset and what we were waiting for. He spend a few minutes with us , totally contradicted what are pediatricians office recommended. Do not go to the office if you love your child

Had a great experience with them! Dr. Markley is a wonderful doctor, very friendly and caring. Everything went well with my sons procedure.

Everyone experience is different but i must say my experience was awesome. Everyone i encountered with was very professionally and helpful. The lady even walked around to give me the paper work because i was feeding my son. My appointment was at 1pm and im back in my car by 2:00pm. Looking forward to a smooth surgery and recovery.
