He was a wonderful doctor and I miss him so much. He took the time to listen and with as many patients as he saw he always knew me personally and spoke of people we both knew.

I just learned of Dr. Jay Markowitz's passing. I am truly shocked and saddened. When I moved to Columbia over 20 years ago, I went to him and never left. In recent years, I have been a patient of his son, Dr. Brad. This was and is truly a caring and competent family physician practice. My condolences to Dr. Brad, his family and the staff at Markowitz and Associates.

Dr. Markowitz was a mentor and a friend. He was a fantastic doctor and teacher. When I was 23, he taught me the importance of intergrity and honesty. To this day, I regard that lesson as a seminal moment in my training as a physcian.
He was my role model and and I wil miss him greatly.

So sorry for your loss. Dr. Jay was my doctor for many years and always made sure I was taken care of by him or others if needed. He saved my husbands life by instantly knowing he needed surgery immediately. He was a great doctor and mentor for many young doctors.

It was my privilege to work for Dr. Jay and my pleasure to learn he was not only a brilliant physician, but an extremely compassionate and caring person. He redefined my expectations for what it meant to be a doctor. He was always appreciative of our hard work and supported our individual goals. He never forgot the 'service' part of his profession and I learned so much from his dedication to his patients. He willingly shared his praise, his wisdom, and his amazing food! I will miss you Dr. Jay. Prayers for all family, staff, patients and friends who miss him too.

To the entire Marowitz family, I give my sincere appreciation for this great doctor whom I will never forget! Jay and I had a special relationship for 15 years while I was in Lexington, SC. The times we shared together and almost daily phone calls along with the thousands of patients we shared together were always wonderful. I did not know Jay at all until I walked in his office one day and told him I was starting my practice and we instantly had something in common. We were 2 boys from Philadelphia who moved south to practice medicine and absolutely loved it in Lexington, SC. I missed him greatly after moving to Pittsburgh, PA. The memories I have will always be eternal and never forgotten! One day we will laugh together again Jay!
My very best!, Dr. Bob Amory

I am fortunate to have been his patient for many years and credit him for saving my life with his diagnostic acumen. He was always willing to take time to share information in depth and I treasured his ability to do so in a way which made it comprehensible to a lay person. I am saddened that his career and life was ended in this manner but I'm sure he was happy to be able to do what he loved until close to the end. My deepest sympathy to his family, coworkers and employees. He has left a legacy which will be hard to duplicate.

Dr. Jay, this is Dr. Pammy. Thank you so much for teaching me how to cook Monza Ball Soup. I must say your broth was the best, so clear. Your mom would be so proud. Gary and I enjoyed your wit and big smile on our visits. Jay helped so many even at home with the late night phone calls he would work until he found a reason why they were sick or he would see that his patients were put in good hands. Jay was of the old style of Doctoring not looking at a computer but at the patient. What a lost art for our world. Thank you also for the love you showed my sister Deborah your wife, and the time you spent with Renee and Josh. Gary said he will miss his buddy. Brad and John and to your families, may God bless you with peace at this time. See you in Heaven my friend we can cook there together and laugh. God bless you. With much love Gary and Dr. Pammy

Jay was one of a kind in medicine today. He listened and talked with his patients. He treated my folks who loved him and was my doctor for 25 years.

I am so saddened to learn of the death of our beloved Dr. Markowitz. My grandmother was one of his first patients when he began practicing in Columbia. He went on to treat my parents, Gene and Eloise Willard, my sister, Sherry and my husband and me. We all loved, respected and admired his dry wit, intellect, very capable care, and dedication to the medical profession. He will be sorely missed by the patients and community he has served over these many years, especially by this family. We will be keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Much love to all.

Dr. Jay was our doctor for over 30 years. We trusted his judgement and he always had our best interest at heart. If he couldn't fix it, he would always recommend someone who could. We will greatly miss him. Roy's mother, Louise Smith, has been his patient for over 40 years and will be 99 this year. He was always so proud of her health, especially at her age. Our prayers go out to his family and everyone who worked for him.
