Mark was a wonderful person, not just a doctor. Rex fell off a tractor and Mark folded up that treatment table that we have all head about and came to our home to give my husband a treatment in our living room. He didn't even charge us for the housecall. He also plowed our driveway before we came home from Florida last Feb. No charge. He was always looking out for others. we have no doubt that he is in heaven now. Our prayers go out to his family and friends. He was such a good friend to all who knew him. RIP.

We met Mark when he first started practice in Port Allegany. We were immediately impressed with his great concern for his patients and his professionalism. He once came to our Christmas Inn with his portable table to give me an adjustment as I was in too much pain to travel. Connie and I mourn his loss and give our condolences to his family.

Dr. Mark was a wonderful man. He was such a devoted doctor who truly cared for his patients. He even made a house call when I was having problems during my pregnancy. He is now in heaven with my husband. RIP Dr. Mark. You were very special to our family.
