About Dr. Mark
Aparna Mark, MD, is a primary care and family medicine physician at Emory at Downtown Decatur Primary Care. She is originally from England and where she graduated from the University of Birmingham Medical School in 2012. She underwent post graduate residency training in London at University College London Hospital before joining the Emory Family Medicine residency program where she was chief resident. She graduated in 2019 and now practices full scope family medicine, including pediatrics and women's health, at Emory's central Downtown Decatur location. She is also adjunct faculty at the Emory Family Medicine residency program where she enjoys teaching and mentoring residents training in primary care.
Tailored to the patient’s needs
Dr. Mark values individualizing patient care:
"Everyone is different and everyone has different physical health and emotional health needs. As a physician who has been in the medical profession for 13 years my experiences have shaped the way I interact with my patients. It can be easy in any busy medical practice to approach every consultation with a "one size fits all" mentality, but that is not how I like to operate. Some patients need more information and explanation, some patients need or want less. Some patients like to do all the talking and decision making and others prefer me to steer the consultation and provide a greater degree of guidance. I do my best to adapt to every patient's individual communication style and personality to match their needs in a way that best serves them, because ultimately I want my patients to leave the office feeling comfortable and satisfied that their needs were addressed and that they received the best possible care."
Building trust is critical
Dr. Mark emphasizes the importance of integrity and the patient-physician relationship:
"One of the things that I love about primary care is patient continuity - getting to know my patients and them getting to know me. I believe having that patient-physician relationship is what helps build trust - as does good listening and shared decision making. I always aim to actively listen and be down to earth and compassionate. My practice ethos focuses on helping patients understand their health issues so we can come to an informed and evidence based decision together."
Diversity is welcome
Dr. Mark welcomes people with diverse backgrounds:
"Personally and professionally I enjoy talking with people from a variety of backgrounds, it is what makes life and my practice interesting."

Dr. Mark brings the same authenticity, and kindness at every visit. She never fails to the keep her visits moving, but also take the time to speak to patients which is a rarity these days. She has an excellent bedside manner. This is why I absolutely adore her as my primary care doctor. Take good care of her!!!
I have excellent team at the Decatur office
Doctor has a cheerful manner, is easy to talk to, shows sympathy for what I am dealing with. We covered some main problems but I forgot to mention a pain issue. It has been more than a week since appointment and doctor has not sent me a report about my labs. No report means they're okay? I feel that service is incomplete. I feel more hopeful about a problem since I got referral to a specialist and not just a department.
Grateful to have Dr Mark as my primary care provider
Dr. Mark has an exceptional bedside manner. She is caring and thorough in her recommendations concerning my care. She communicates clearly and concisely and is knowledgeable about my disease and its treatment.

Dr.Mark was, as always, the ideal practitioner. She has such a calm, caring manner and addresses any concerns or problems I have in an unhurried manner. She explains any tests , meds or concerns she might want to explore and the rational behind them. Her manner and expertise are much appreciated!
I love Dr Mark.
Dr. Mark is the best.
Again, things felt really rushed. For the one visit I get a year, I got the Impression that I needed to be in and out. I recognize and take responsibility in brining questions and concerns to discuss to each visit, but also feel like there should be ownership on the doctor to ask probing questions that I as a patient might not think of. For example: I wasn't asked about prescription refills and didn't consider it until I had already left. In fact, there was no discussion of my current medications.
Dr. Mark is a good listener, and is very informative with any questions that I have. She always make sure to refill my prescriptions.

Dr. Mark is the best PC doctor Ive ever had
Dr. Aparna Mark is an exceptional doctor, who demonstrates genuine concern for my health and wellbeing. She asks thoughtful questions about the possible resolution of any past health problems I've had and any concerns that I have about current health problems. In addition, she clearly explains the reasons she is ordering any lab work or other tests, then later follows up with a written message about the results of those tests.
Dr Mark explained everything in detail - her opinion and what she thinks is the next best move for my health. Very thorough. Thanks.

I was super happy to have this appointment with Dr. Mark. She came in to the room and relaxed and took her time exploring my needs and questions from the get go. We chatted about Dr. Marchal's method of care and she is showing the same concentrated, kind, informational care that he gave. I was so sorry to see him leave, but am now very glad that he was instrumental in choosing Dr. Mark as his replacement. She was great. So great.
