Alina Markova, MD
Dermatologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

I am a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in treating skin conditions resulting from bone marrow transplantation (BMT). My outpatient clinical practice is devoted to caring for people affected by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the skin.
I also specialize in treating people who develop skin, hair, and nail conditions as a side effect of their cancer treatment, and people with cancerous wounds.

As Co-Director of the Multidisciplinary GVHD Clinic with the BMT Service, I partner with oncologists, hematologists, nurses, and other experts to provide our patients with comprehensive care to effectively address their symptoms. I also have the privilege of leading the Inpatient Dermatology Service, where we provide high-quality dermatology care to people who have been admitted to the hospital.
