Dr. Markowitz was a wonderful and caring Doctor.  He always made time when I saw him.  He is truly missed, there are not too many doctors that take the time. to explain his treatment.  

Sincerely,
Terry Melanson

Dr. Markowitz was magical; in his ability to diagnose what other Dr.'s misdiagnosed within their own specialties (this happened on three occasions over the years of my family and I seeing him) in his quirky brilliant humor, in his humanity and exceptional kindness. Just learned of his passing.  What a gift to have known him, I can't begin to imagine the treasure and blessing he was and will always be in the hearts of his family members. You are in my thoughts and heart.

Heartbroken to hear of Dr. Markowitz passing. I started seeing him at 18 years old and continued for the next 20 years. He was always my favorite appointment and as much a therapist as my dermatologist. I’ll always carry with me the beautiful wisdom he would impart. When speaking of relationships and finding the person to spend your life with, he shared with me his 5 pillars; 
Kindness
Honesty
Trust
Consideration
Respect
He said after finding those, look to their parents and their relationship.  And notice that Love is not on that list. Love is what comes when you find all of these. 
I speak of him often and fondly and will always carry with me his guidance and compassion. My entire family adored Dr. Markowitz. He was truly a remarkable human. 

Today, I learned that dear Dr. Markowitz is no longer with us. I feel fortunate to have met him when I did, when he was practicing in Waltham.  
He was very funny and kind and, in my opinion, a very good dermatologist. 
I used to actually look forward to the times when I'd seek out his care....the office visits were always fun.

Rest in Peace, Dr. Markowitz.

My sincere condolences to the Markowitz family. The doctor treated me for several years, and always went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best dermatology treatment. He reminded me of my childhood doctor who would actually come to our home back in the fifties. They don’t make doctors like Doctor Markowitz anymore. He had wit, humor, bedside manner and intelligence.  Rest in Power. 

I had the good fortune of working for Saul during the 1980’s in his office on Hope Ave.  My daughters were very young at the time so I could only work part time.  What I remember and revere most about Saul was his very humorous/sardonic wit, his compassion towards all his patients, his utmost respect for all his employees, and his brilliant ability to diagnose. He loved getting to know people and would often ask, “tell me more” and “then what”.  He was relentless.  Because he loved getting to know his patients beyond their dermatological issues, he often ran late. Those in the waiting room, especially new patients who were unaware of his quizzical style, became impatient. No sooner did I get them into an exam room and he had them laughing up a storm. They adored him as did I.  My heartfelt condolences to Yvonne and the children.  May all the wonderful memories of Saul bring you comfort.

To my most dearest person in my life 
In my discussion about the Jewish faith and what we both believed. His question was always why? Then why? Then why? So one day I told him your God is my God and Heavenly Father and he agreed. Now Henry we have the same daddy. Tell me Henry what about Yeshua. I turned and walked out of the office and he called me back and said “what do you call that?” I said “love(ahavah)” we both embraced like Esau and Jacob and wept. Those memories will always be eternal spirit and Saul ‘s spirit . You might say like the story of David and Jonathan the Torah.

I love you Saul.

Note: sorry I asked doctors if they knew where Saul was living and they didn’t know so I found out on the internet 

I was a friend of Saul's in a group of dorms meeting in various offices until we all retired from our dermatology practices. I was sad to learn that Saul had passed. I remember his office next to the hospital sitting on the furniture purchased from a Catholic church in Boston. I remember Saul's wife heading the jewelry department of the MFA. I am now 92 but still remember his kindness and compassionate care for patients. Best wishes to his family.  George Blumental, MD

I am very late in learning about Dr. Markowitz's passing. He was my dermatologist for a long time and was kind enough to take on my Dad. He was such a good conversationalist, and I know that my Dad especially enjoyed that. They may be getting together now. Prayers and gratitude.

Belated regrets to Dr. M's family. I have so many memories of the good doctor :) Dr. M took care of my entire family for decades. Besides receiving excellent care , we all enjoyed sparing on politics and policies. He was the ultimate conversation starter.
I can only imagine what Dr. M had to say 2019-2020. 
May happy memories comfort you all!

saul you were a great friend too me in so many phases of my life. During the good times, and unfortunately the bad times. Rest in peace my friend you'll will always be in my prayers. My condolence too Yvonne and family.

Dr. Markowitz was our doctor for four generations of our family.  He was simply the best.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Markowitz.  He was the most caring and understanding  doctor I have ever encountered.  His humor and patience was remarkable.   He knew right away what the problem was.

He really valued his family and expressed how important they were in his life.   He really had a great bed side manner, which in some cases they are too busy today.  He will be truly missed.

Sincerely,
Terry Melanson

Dr. Markowitz was part dermatologist, part psychologist (“keep talking”) and part comedian - such a wonderful doctor and person.    The way he could walk into the room with one small index card and be able to put his patient at ease with information like he had just spoken to them last week.   Me, my husband, my kids, my sister all had the good fortune of having him as our dr. over the years.  A gift.  

Simply one of the kindest most caring MD’s I have ever met. 

Yvonne and Family: my boss, my friend, always on my mind. Hope all is well with the family. Think of you often. Still hard to believe ❤️

I'm very sorry to hear Dr. Markowitz passed.  He was a treasure and always showed the greatest concern for his patients. He treated my whole family, Grandmother,  Aunt, and myself. 
Loved when he said, "this is going to hurt you more than me". He also gave great relationship advice!  Definitely felt more like a grandfather than my doctor. 
Will keep him in my memories and will send love and light to your family.

We are so very sorry that Dr. Markowitz is no longer with us.  He told the best stories, in his serious/playful way; always interested and always interesting. He was a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable, generous doctor who loved his patients and they loved him. The world will miss him.  So sorry for his loved ones.
Mike and Ginny Luongo

So sorry to learn of the loss or Dr. Markowitz.
He was a wonderful friend to my Dad, they shared a good sense of humor.  He was a great support to the whole Craig family.
A blessing to us all. 


Dr. Markowitz was one of my favorite doctors,  I went to him in my teens and stayed with him until my sixties. I always knew he would get my hands better.  He had a gift to make you laugh.   My condolences to his family he will be missed.

Dr. Markowitz  was one of my favorite Dr’s. He was quite a character and always had me laughing. I was very sad when he retired, not even getting to say goodbye and tell him to enjoy retirement, which was well deserved. 
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Patient for over 35 years 

Great Doctor .  he was my Doctor for many many years.  Still miss him. My condolences to his family.may he rest in peace

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Markowitz  passing. He was  an excellent and very  revered man.  Whenever his name came up with  people in Waltham  everyone knew him and always had an amusing story to tell.   The one thing that they always added at the end of their stories was, he was a great Doctor!  We at Waltham Hospital we’re blessed to have him as a  member of our family!  My condolences to his family!   He was  ‘TheBest’.   He will be missed by many!  R.I.P.  friend🙏
