About Me

A native of the Midwest, Dr. Mark Ian Macpherson was born in Ohio and completed most of his schooling, including college and medical school, in Iowa. Becoming a doctor was Dr. Macpherson’s lifelong dream, something he remembers aspiring to even as a child. The choice to specialize in family medicine came out of a desire to provide a wide breadth of diverse services to his patients. Dr. Macpherson was also drawn to the ability to follow his patients over time, through the different stages of life. Because he values the ability to cultivate a new generation of medical professionals, Dr. Macpherson has mentored many medical school, nursing and physician assistant students. He also has teaching experience at the high school, college and medical school levels.

A resident of Apex, N.C., for nearly 20 years, Dr. Macpherson is proud to be a part of the team at WakeMed Physician Practices – Primary Care - Apex. Not only is it fulfilling to serve patients in his own community, but Dr. Macpherson also feels a strong connection to the WakeMed mission – “improving the health and well-being of our community by providing outstanding and compassionate care to all.”

Dr. Macpherson has experience in all aspects of family medicine, focusing on preventative health practices and health maintenance. He is committed to teaching his patients how to make lifestyle changes, especially through fitness and nutrition, so that they can lead fuller, longer, healthier lives. When working with his patients, Dr. Macpherson takes a holistic approach, believing that the mind, body and spirit all influence and affect one another.

Married with two grown sons, Dr. Macpherson has many personal interests outside of medicine. He and his wife, Kim, enjoy gardening and landscaping at their home. He also enjoys woodworking and staying active through outdoor activities including fishing, biking, golf, hiking, kayaking and camping.

Care about me

Attention to detail and that my condition was critical. The Doctor made no reservation as to level of treatment needed immediately.

07/15/2023

In my opinion, both the office and the medical staffs endeavour to provide attentive and compleat patient care. I have not encountered issues or shortcomings in the care provided. I do not feel part of an "assembly line" process that appears overly concerned with volumn of care rather than complete quality of care.

Michaela is amazing. Very caring. Very responsive to calls.

03/23/2023

Dr. MacPherson was very understanding about my concerns having tested []. He was making the required medical exam prior to prescribing [Rx] for me. I was pleased that WakeMed could respond quickly to make the assessment, so I could get started on [Rx] if it was appropriate. Dr. MacP reviewed my medications, asked questions and explaine that there are 2 dosages of [Rx] and I would get the lower dose due to my current conditions and medications. He interacted with me very calmly and took the time I needed to understand the situation, the meds, etc. His was the first "virtual exam" I have had with WakeMed; I was very satisfied with the exam. Thank You, Dr. MacPherson

My visit was outstanding. The process to make a same day appointment is not. Wake Med chart states that if you would like to make a same day appt you should call on the phone.
