About
Bradley T. Marker, M.D., FACS, is a general surgeon with Wiregrass Surgical who specializes in minimally invasive, bariatric and robotic surgery. A native of Gadsden, AL, he attended college at the University of Alabama where he received his undergraduate degree in biology and graduated summa cum laude in 2000. He graduated with his medical degree from the University of Alabama's School of Medicine in 2004 and soon after moved to Dallas, TX, to continue his training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Parkland Hospital, serving as chief resident. He has been practicing with Wiregrass Surgical since 2009 and is the medical director of Flowers Hospital's Center for Bariatric and Weight Loss Surgery.
Dr. Marker has focused his practice on providing high quality patient care by taking a compassionate and intentional approach with his patients. His overall goal is to provide high levels of care through minimally invasive techniques while striving to meet the needs of his patients by putting their best interests first. He has one of the most minimally invasive skill sets in the region. In fact, most of the complex cases he performs, including bariatric, colorectal, hernia and anti-reflux procedures, are done using robotic surgical technology with minimal incisions, which often result in quicker recovery times than open surgery. He performed the first laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss in Dothan and followed that by performing the first robotic sleeve gastrectomy in the area as well. He also performed the first right colectomy in the state of Alabama using robotic technology. Recently, in recognition of his commitment to advancing the field of minimally invasive surgery, he was selected to serve as a site mentor for robotic surgery, allowing him to train other surgeons to perform robotic procedures. In addition, he was instrumental in bringing the first genetic testing program to Dothan, giving advanced screening and treatment options to patients having cancer risks that were previously unavailable.
Dr. Marker married his wife in 2004 after they met in medical school. They have two sons and enjoy spending their free time with family. He also enjoys traveling, hunting, attending college football games and reading.
Procedures include:
- Bariatric (weight loss) surgery
- Hernia repair
- Gallbladder removal
- Treatment of thyroid, breast and colon cancers
- Colonoscopy screenings
- Surgical treatment for reflux/GERD
- Colon resection
