Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

5+ Years, 2 Very Happy Seniors As seniors with multiple breaking body parts, my wife and I have both sought out and enjoyed the services of Dr. Markowski a number of times over the past 5 years. Most recently he operated on my wife the afternoon of 11 Dec 23 in a local hospital for a horribly broken arm (required implanting a plate, multiple screws, etc.). Just as we had become accustomed to in Dr. Markowski's office, he had previously taken the time to fully review her extensive medical history, discussed the anticipated repair approach/options and any associated risks, and took the time to patiently address our related questions and concerns. Both his professional knowledge and bedside manner only FURTHER enhanced the already substantial sense of confidence we had in Dr. Markowski. He also enjoyed the admiration and respect of the the entire Operating Room staff. We CONTINUE to highly recommend Dr. Markowski and, insurance permitting, will specifically request his services in the future.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Markowski performed hip replacement surgery on me six weeks ago, and I am very pleased with how things are progressing. I have no hip pain. Everyone that I came in contact with during this experience, from the office staff to Dr. Markowski himself, have been very professional, have answered any and all questions, and have been a pleasure to deal with. I am so happy to recommend Dr. Markowski and thankful to be without pain again!!

Dr. Markowski treated me for knee pain for several years before I decided to have total knee replacement surgery. He was always their to give me the information and help I needed to make my decisions. I am overweight and lost about 30 lbs. before I decided to get surgery. I worked with a personal trainer before the surgery which made my recovery much easier. After left knee replacement I had no problems and chose to have the right knee replaced as soon as possible. The recovery went very well with both knees and now I am pain free. Following Dr. Markowski’s treatment plan I am able to walk and climb stairs without pain. He’s one of the best I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr Markiwski he is a dr with integrity. I had my two shoulders botched by a butcher. That dr remove all my soft tissue so I can come back for shoulder replacement. Dr Markiwski he went and. Fixed but will be eminent I. A near future a mechanical joint. I’m a busy person the only time I sit is when I eat. Our living room the dogs use the couches. Lol no this is the best sr you can get for your troubles he has fixed my right shoulder he has done mri and found a bruised rotator cuff. He isn’t a dr that will damage your health ever. Also he has a very nice bed aide manner and is a sweet human. Most de are hi on their horse not him Humble man. He supposed to do my operation on my left but his mom passed away that day they called me if I wanted latter. I said no way my pain don’t equal what he is going through, had to await the surgery center was very comfy and Proffesional. I suffer form PTSD and anesthesia is bad they made it differently mixes just for me and didn’t have trouble Recommen

Dr. Markowski took great care of my knee. He assessed the problem and treated it right away. A little fluid out, a little cortisone in, some good advice, and I am much better.

Everything about my visit was handled in a friendly, highly professional manner, from making my appointment staff, xrays and treatment. I felt confident I was getting the best possible care. Dr. Markowski explained my issue, options, and recommendations for me to get back to being active. I hope I won’t need to see them again, but if I do I won’t hesitate to call.

Dr Markiwski. Like my savior he had done so much for me. I’m getting another mri. I know if I knew of him before I had my shoulders repair I probably I would never be in this predicament I’m in now. He is gentle knowledgeable and has experience. He isn’t in a hurry and goes by the numbers. If some thing didn’t work prices to the next step. Now for me MRI this is my six MRI since I started this difficult step. Without my arms I be a sad life for me. Dr William is an amazing Orthopedic dr. So glad he is young so Will be like for my life span Kind of Dr. he fixed my left arm I suffer for 3 years 3 years. That he said he can help me with. Honest dr I Like because I can see that they have passion isn’t the $ that matters and that is a good Dr.
