I got in to see Dr. Markowski quickly — no long wait in the lobby. He answered all of my questions and spoke directly to my concerns about my elevated pain level. Staff is friendly and competent.

Always personable and professional staff. Dr. Markowski has performed several procedures on me with great success. He’s the best. Highly recommend him.

Helped solve my sprained ankle problem.

The cortisone shot didn’t seem to help as much as it did the last time I had one. I’m not in as much pain but I’m not able to bend my trigger finger all the way like I used to. If I move my Hanns a certain way it will hurt in some areas still.

I was able to schedule a same day appointment! Although the front desk clerk was not very welcoming, The PA had amazing bedside manner. He was clear, concise and comforting. He showed me my X-ray and explained everything. I highly recommend this facility.

A wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful appointment.

Great professionalism and spot on care treatment!

My initial appointment at Bluewater Orthopedics with Dr. Fox was a good experience. The staff was courteous and helpful with my questions and Dr. Fox was attentive, kind and compassionate. My pain was understood and addressed then and there. After discussing another issue I had been dealing with, Dr. Fox immediately addressed the situation and personally solved my predicament for which I am totally grateful. I left feeling hopeful that I will be well taken care of. Thanks Dr. Fox 😁

You ppl are awesome. Drs. Goeke and Ruskin are fabulous. They both take the time to hear me and listen. Then worked on my knee. It’s great. I’ve been walking 2 miles daily. Love having minimal or no pain at all!!! You R the best!

The staff was great and the doctor I thank y’all

Dr Goeke and Tracy were so personable and made me feel comfortable. I felt in good professional hands.

Everything

Very prompt getting us back to the back very friendly staff we have no problems with Dr. Fox and his staff whatsoever

I was treated for a broken shoulder over a six month period beginning the day after my accident. I could not be more pleased with my care. At age 72 I have lots of experience with Doctor' offices. Doctor Markowski and the staff are as good as I have seen. You will not find better care.

Great experience as usual. All the staff was great and helpful

Office atmosphere nice and clean. Staff friendly and professional. Treatment answered my concerns and made me feel confident in solution. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

No problems.

Dr. M treated me well.... thanks!

I'm an RN and make the drive from Pensacola because I like and trust Dr. Markowski implicitly for his expertise and manner. The office staff and nurses are all friendly, helpful, and professional.

Very professional and helpful

Got me in timely manner

I was happy with my visit. Will be back sook

Everyone was so nice. I saw Dr. Fox at my appt. time and was on my way in no time. You did good. Thanks. Joseph Sanders

In & out with no delays and the staff were excellent!

Excellent patient experience starting with check-in and continuing through check-out! Ex-rays were quick with immediate access to Dr. Markowski. Doc's recommendation after reviewing the ex-rays and exam was comforting. As has been the case with my previous visits, outstanding service.

Quick to secure appointment with preferred doctor. Quick to see him, to be diagnosed and explanation and treatment given for issue I was having. Exemplary experience.

Always veryHappy coming there

I was very pleased with the professional and friendly staff that I dealt with. Dr. Fox was very thorough and quick to determine what was needed, and just as importantly not needed, with regard to my ankle/foot.

Always so helpful and professional.receptionist. to all clerical personnel very good at answering questions. Ruston is the best in giving my knee shots. Very encouraging and professional.

I did not wait long. Everyone in your office are very friendly. And I love Dr. Markowski. He is the best Othopetic Surgen in the world. He did replaced my Right knee more than a year ago and it's feeling great. He is going to do my left knee in June. Thank you .

Short wait time and ease of scheduling outpatient surgery.

Dr.Markowski and staff are AWESOME. Thanks for all the repair over the years

Every one is very friendly & professional. Waiting time is a very short period.

Best staff awesome doctor

PA Erin is very thorough and I appreciate that so much. I've always had great visits with BW Orthopedics.

The staff was very helpful. We were seen on time. PA White gave us a good overview. Dr. Fox explained the problem and treatment options very well, as usual. We were very happy with the visit.

I have always had great service and Dr. Fox is a wonderful doctor.

Very little wait, Doctor Markowski explained X-ray and visit went well.

I HAD A VERY NICE EXPERIANCE WITH YOU GUYS THANK YOU

Very nice folks, didn't have to wait long and very professional.

As always Docs, nurses, and staff are professional an kind. Thanks

Doctor Markowski discussed alternative to shots So I decided to go with the Voltaren a topical cream I used it today for the first time and i I was pain free all day

Dr Fox was a great surgeon. My knee is doing great thanks to Dr Fox! Great job!

Everything. I trust Tom Fox with my life. God has gifted him with magical hands for healing. He is a valued asset to our community.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. Very professional! I reccomend everyone should to make the right choice and go visit them!!!!

Pleasant staff and made an effort to accommodate my appt request

Everyone was very friendly, professional, and knowledgable.

the wait was not long and the service both from the nurse and Dr. Markowski were very caring.

A very professional organization, from they front desk check in, through the physical examiniation. itself, and finally through the checkout window.

I certainly enjoyed my visit at Bluewater Orthopedics last Monday. Rustin was great and explained everything to me and answered all my concerns. I did have one issue, though, from the previous week. I had called regarding need for therapy and asked why I never received a call regarding my status. Dr. Fox did call the night of the surgery, and I was extremely impressed by that. But, no calls later in the week about my condition. I called the office and was given to Brittany. She told me they would review my status and discuss therapy at my next appointment. I understood waiting till my appointment to discuss therapy but her lack of concern for my well being after surgery appalled me. But from my two appointments and talking with Dr Fox, I had a good experience with Bluewater Orthopedics.

Very friendly. Easy to get scheduled. Long office waits but that’s understandable.

I thank you guys for the great service!

My appointment went well. My visit with my doctor was getting me ready for my upcoming surgery. I was pleased with my visit.

I was pleased with every aspect of my surgery from check—in and pre-op to post -op and follow up to remove stitches. Dr. Fox and his staff conducted themselves professionally and skillfully. This was my second procedure with you.

Everything went great, I still have some uncomfortable timers but at this stage of life who doesn't. I thank you all for a job well done..

Always great! Accommodated me being 10 minutes late! Never an issue there! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Everyone always nice & patient.

Very friendly staff. Answered all questions that was asked. Dr. Markowski was very informative when asked different questions. Was a very good experience. Glad I made the appointment to see him.

Waited the waiting room for 30 minutes past scheduled time and another 10 minutes in room waiting for doctor.

Dr. Goeke was wonderful. Gave the best shots ever. Fast yet thorough treatment, will definitely return when needed

AszDr. Goeke and staff are great! Makes going to the doctor better!

The appointment went well and I chose to have left knee replacement as soon as it can be scheduled. Awaiting call from scheduling.

Excellent treatment by all staff members. Two things would have allowed me to give 5 stars: 1) shorter wait time. Waited one hour to be seen by physician assistant, and 2) the medical history paperwork should be more specific about orthopedic issues, i.e. joints/bones. I'm one that has multiple issues with back, elbows, wrists, hands, knees, feet and nothing was asked other than "Arthritis" was listed in disease list of things you've had. Nothing to indicate pain level either or diagram to mark what is hurting. All our joints, limbs plus backs work together and affect a person's condition and what treatment might work best.

My appt was for 3:10...I arrived at 3:05...was not called in to exam room till 3:25.....After initial Q & A with nurse and x-rays I waited in exam room for > 30 minutes till doc arrived...!

The staff and Dr. Fox are fantastic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They make you feel comfortable. Dr. Fox replaced my left shoulder with a reverse shoulder procedure. It worked out perfectly. The recovery time was relatively fast. I recovered a lot quicker and had much less pain then when I had a rotator cuff repair from another doctor. I highly recommend Bluewater Orthopedics.

Dr. Fox gave me a clean bill of health. His surgical skills are exceptional, and patient follow up care was outstanding.

The PA and the nurses are all so friendly and understanding. Dr Goeke is great. Would not think of letting anyone else work with my hands.

I love the staff! Always caring and knowledgeable. I missed seeing Dr. Markowski this time, but was well taken care of post-operatively. Thanks for taking such good care of me.

The office staff was great. Rustin did a great job as well.

The reception staff and the nurses are excellent. The doctors and the p.a.'s are wonderful. They take excellent care of the patients. Thank you for all that you do.

Dr Markowski is ever the gentleman and a fine well informed skillful surgeon. One couldn’t ask for a better or more personable doctor. Thanks

Dr. MARKOWSKI was very caring and pleasant. I HATE going to doctors but he was exceptionally nice and made the visit less stressful. He Makes the patient more relaxed and at ease. Thank you.

You took me when I did not have regular appointment and within an hour of a bad knee mishap, The Dr. treated me almost immediately and helped the situation greatly. I very much appreciate this service, you guys are the absolute best. Minta Packard

Punctual and professional. That works for me.

The nurses are so sweet and the reception was so nice I just enjoy the atmosphere

Always great care.

I recommend Blue water Bay Orthopedics to everyone I see. Everyone in the office are very professional yet very personable. I love my new knees! I now walk pain free! Thank you so much.

You all made the right call Terry shoulder is really working like it should be therapy is going well and appreciate everything you guys do

If you could have a good experience going to the doctor this was it. Dr. Goeke is great. He explains everything to you he is friendly, kind and caring. Great “bedside manner”. The staff is terrific and never acts like you are an inconvenience!!! They are great.

Dr Markowski is so personable, he’s the only doctor that calls me by my first name. He’s not arrogant and explains everything you need to know so you can make an informed decision. The nursing staff is also very good as well as the office staff. It is always a pleasure to visit.

Friendly staff, not too long of a wait, Restin was knowledgeable,personable, and gave a painless steroid shot in my knee, which felt better within the next two days.

Dr Fox is knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and professional. He explains problems, treatments, and outcomes thoroughly. He and the rest of the staff are highly recommended.

Love Dr. Fox. So easy to talk with. Listens well.

Entire staff was extremely helpful and exhibited an interest in my wellbeing.

You remain excellent after 3 joint replacements and no issues. Dr Markowski is the best.

Everything went well again as usual had a longer wait time than expected other than that everything is fine.

Thank you for great service and timely appointment

Worked to get me in quickly. Very professional.

Been a patient of Rustin for around 9 years He has very good demeanor with patients He is knowledgeable, professional, and his kindness resonates.

I was greeted for my appointment on time and all services were performed in a professional manner.

Always professional

I'm not on "social media".

Very professional had a great visit I really like Dr. Fox

Staff is very attentive and know their jobs well. Rustin takes time to explain what is wrong and options available. However the casting room has a big cobweb under the table and the entire building could use some paint. What you see is what you recall most. Still get 5 star care.

Dr. Fox is always great!

This was my first time there and was very pleased. Very impressed with Dr Markowski. I had already heard how good he is. I am happy he will be doing my surgery

Your staff is always very professional while being friendly at the same time. The level of service is unsurpassed. You couldn't ask for any better conditions or any better people to provide the care that you get at your facility. Thank You, very much! Rick Rodgers

Very professional and friendly

Everyone was nice all my visits has been great And on time

Very helpful and friendly!

While the thought of surgery is never one that I enjoy, Dr. Fox put me completely at ease and he answered all the questions I had making this a very pleasant experience.

You guys are on time, efficient and knowledgeable. I spent over 6 months with my primary care provider trying to determine the cause of my back pain. I finally came to you and in one quick visit, I now know what the problem is and there is a treatment plan in place. I should have come to you much sooner. Thanks for the care provided.

Awesome! Hope every other Dr I see is this encouraging!

All great other than too much duplication when filling out the forms at ck in😣

Quick and efficient. Was able to call and make an appointment for the next day. Staff was helpful and friendly

The Doctors, PA and staff were friendly and accommodating ensuring that my knee procedure was as painless as possible.

STOP

Took the extra time to explain to me what was going on with my knee, then actually did something to relieve my knee pain by removing the fluid around it and giving me a cortisone shot. That was awesome. They even provided me with a knee brace to give my knee some extra support until it can get repaired. I left there with alot of confidence that I was in good hands with people that actually care about my wellbeing. I will never go anywhere else other than Bluewater Orthopedics for my orthopedic care. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

The main thing for me is personality a pleasant environment, everyone I cane in contact t with was very pleasant and professional. Xray tech.had awesome personality. The time from check in to finish was good ,and very clean.

Super satisfactory. Courteous and professional.

Good visit. Wait for doctor was about :50 after appointment time but shorter than usual.

Always outstanding care and treatment. Much appreciated.

Very fast, friendly and professional. Dr. Goeke is always personable and attentive

Professional and courteous. Staff is well trained and efficient.

Rustin is patient and thorough. He does not rush the patient, takes time to answer all questions. Very satisfied with him and this office. He listens and is willing to let the patient try alternatives, he is not pushy about surgery, and explains the process well. Very pleased.

Dr. Markowski is the best! Thorough, understanding, always has the time to listen to my concerns and address them, and very personable. I feel very fortunate to be his patient and have recommended him to many people.

Bluewater is very buttoned up and congenial...Doctor Markowski is the best ! He never rushes you , answers all questions , summarizes in layman's terms , and has a winning personality......top notch

Dr Goeke has a rare blend of an exceptionally skilled orthopedic surgeon combined with genuine compassion and understanding of patients. Surgeons like him are priceless. His positive affect on others enhances successful outcomes from the treatment he gives.

Courtesy and provisional very knowledgeable

Always a good experience at BWB Ortho. Good and caring staff.

Able to work me in on short notice. Entire staff personable and very accommodating ! PA, Erin saw me and great! Would and have recommended!

Competent and friendly staff and doctors. Short wait time. Xrays done in house. Treated problem with noticeable relief. Good job.

Saw PA Russell White one day after an injury. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Very supportive and frank. Already scheduled for surgery. Great service. Thank you.

Very professional, not pain free,but almost.thank you

Everyone was pleasant and helpful. I was seen in a timely manor.

Thank you for working me in your busy schedule. Rustin answered all my questions and calmed my fears of more surgery. I am following his directions by visiting the gym this morning and my hip joint feels better. Thank you.

Very successful surgery, thank you Dr. Markowski, staff and all involved at sacred heart 🥰

Thank you to Dr. Bradley Goeke and his staff for seeing me yesterday and giving insight on what needed to be done on my injury. Everyone was so professional, warm, and polite. Thank you again, Melissa and Robert Thomas
