While studying at Texas A&M in College Station, Dr. Markle had the opportunity to visit with his dentist, who was also an Aggie. At that point in life, hed never really thought much about dentistry as a career and had assumed hed end up going into the medical field. However, after a few visits, he quickly realized that the artistic and engineering aspects of oral healthcare fit his personality perfectly and the shorter work week seemed appealing too! Today, he couldnt be more grateful to Dr. Randy White, who was instrumental in his final decision.
Dr. Markle pursued his dental doctorate at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. During that time, he had the amazing opportunity to work on an Indian reservation with the Indian Health Service in White Earth, MN! Following graduation, he also completed a General Practice Residency at the Houston VA Hospital.
Over the past decades, Dr. Markle has participated in hundreds of hours of continuing education through world-renowned organizations like Spear and the Dawson Academy enough to be recognized as a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry and an Associate Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He is also a member of the American College of Dentists, Southwest Academy of Restorative Dentistry, American Dental Association, and Texas Dental Association.

My wife and I needed a new dentist after ours (of 34 years) retired. Dr. Markle was recommended highly and we could not be more pleased. Everyone was very kind, very thorough and comprehensive. The facility is very upsacale and up to date, and, very close and convenient to our home. We were a little apprehensive with change, but now we know we have found our new dental home! Thank you Southern Oaks Dental!

Dr. Markle is incredible. He has an incredible and kind staff who put me at my ease, and a very nice office. He fixed shoddy work done by a previous dentist and offered to do it at a significantly reduced price so I could afford to have a beautiful smile.

Had the greatest experience at this DDS with his staff and assistants. They all were extremely polite, caring, and helpful. They went above the norm in my experience with them and will be definitely going back.
