Preventive Screenings
Our preventive screening programs detect early signs of chronic conditions through advanced diagnostic testing. Patients receive personalized risk assessments and lifestyle modification guidance to maintain optimal health. These screenings help reduce long-term healthcare costs by identifying issues before they require hospitalization.
Chronic Disease Management
Specialized treatment plans address diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions through regular monitoring and medication management. Our team coordinates care with specialists while emphasizing patient education to improve daily symptom management and quality of life.
Same-Day Appointments
Acute care visits address sudden illnesses or injuries without requiring ER visits. Available daily for established patients, these appointments provide timely treatment for non-life-threatening conditions while maintaining continuity with primary care providers.
Medicare Guidance
Dedicated support helps patients navigate Medicare Advantage plans and supplemental coverage options. We connect patients with certified insurance specialists to explain benefits, compare plans, and optimize coverage for primary care services.
Multilingual Support

It's been a little over six month since Dr. Markou gave me the FUT hair transplant and I'm very happy with the results.He did a great job with the front and I'm looking foward to a second procedure for the crown. Dr. Markou is very intelligent and patient and I never feel rushed. Also his assistants are wonderful. During the whole procedure they were gentle, always asking how I was doing and never rushed anything. The doctor and his assistants truly care about what they do to get the best outcome. Thank you for making me feel great! You and your staff are the best!!

All of the other reviews on yelp for Markou medical seem to be for hair restoration- I personally came to this medical center because I am new to the Clearwater area and needed to see a primary care physician. I was seen by Michael Deachin. He seemed very knowledgeable and cared about what I had to say. Even the receptionist/staff were very friendly and caring. And the best part was that I did not have to wait in the waiting room for hours like I'm used too! Although I've only been here once, I'm hoping my future visits will be just as great.
