Dr Martin took the time to listen, understand and help w/ my knee problem. I am most appreciative! Thank you!!
Ryan always gives me the Cortisone shots and was terrific as always.. Very professional..
Over an hour late for appointment! Lazy & disinterested! His staff of Ryan M & Ryan H are excellent! I’d still be waiting if 4 people haven’t left after getting fed up waiting! Unprofessional
Outstanding doctor, very very thorough in his explanations. Extremely impressed.
Dr. Martin took the time to explain to me in detail my post-op x-rays and the precision of the Mako surgical procedure.
Dr has a great bedside manner. Good listener and super staff. To top it off ….always on time!
takes time to listen and makes suggestions.
Doctor Martin takes his time to explain things and he really listens to my concerns.
Very professional! Quickly diagnosed the exact problem after others could not, and finally how to "fix it". I (golfer, etc.) highly recommend Dr. Martin to get you feeling better and active again.
Di9de not see the doctor.
