Dr. Markovitz has been a specialist in internal medicine for more than 40 years. He was a distinguished and highly-respected physician and healthcare leader in the Silicon Valley of California until he was fed up with the corporatization of healthcare and retired from the prestigious Palo Alto Medical Foundation in 2014. His passion for the study and practice of medicine persisted and led him to delving into the underserved area of men’s health and bringing his vision to life in 2016 with the Charleston Men’s Clinic. The primary focus of the Charleston Men’s Clinic is to help men become their optimal selves and improve their overall quality of life. As part of the Charleston Men’s Clinic’s comprehensive and concierge level of care, every visit begins with bloodwork, testing of nitric oxide levels, and an InBody body composition analysis so that Dr. Markovitz can educate his patients on how all aspects of the human body are interconnected and to present them with treatment options. There are a variety of reasons men come to the clinic: Some men come in to find out why they don’t feel or perform their best; why their energy, motivation and enthusiasm are low; why their thinking, focus, concentration and mood are off; why they have difficulty losing weight or building muscle or why their sex drive and performance in the bedroom aren’t what they used to be. Many men come in to treat their erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or their Peyronie’s. As well as offering a variety of medication treatment options, they also offer treatment to improve erectile function with an acoustic wave therapy called GAINSWave that Dr. Markovitz was the first physician to bring to South Carolina or with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) regenerative therapy. They have successfully helped many men shed those unwanted pounds and improve their health with their Semaglutide (GLP-1) and Tirzepatide (GIP) weight loss program. More than just sending the patients home with medications, the staff monitors their muscle/fat composition and points their patients in the right direction for diet and lifestyle changes so that they can keep the weight off. Many men come in wanting to look better. They may be interested in sculpting their muscle or melting away their belly fat or their double chin with their TruBody devices from Cutera. They come in to get rid of embarrassing skin tags or benign skin lesions, treat their rosacea, or zap away visible veins, scars or even out their skin tone using the Excel V+ dual laser, or get Botox injections. The clinic is also happy to treat blood pressure, cholesterol/lipids, prediabetes, diabetes, hypothyroidism, anxiety/depression, ADHD, etc. The overall goal of the Charleston Men’s Clinic is to help men become the most optimal version of themselves in whatever way possible and as their 100-plus online reviews reflect, they do it well.
