Professional and prepared for my appointment. I was appreciative he took time to answer my questions and discuss my concerns. My doctor of choice!
He was very attentive, professional and very comfortable talking to him about my injury. He was running be hind schedule but that was ok.
I saw dr Martin’s nurse, not dr Martin. She was fantastic
He was punctual and through.
He was not listening to history, and what I know about my body pain. And was in a hurry., talking to me as he was going out the door. He was testy with me. He does not have good bed side maners.
Waited an hour after the appointment time and saw him for 2.5 minutes. Need to be better with timing.
Dr. Martin Shelden is very knowledgeable And taste to explain things to you. Very happy with his service.
Do not use this doctor.
I went to shelden so that he could read some MRI’s I had taken! since the other wasn’t trained in the area I need to be seen for I was handed off to Shelden we he saw the MRI’s he came back in the room and told me he didn’t know what he was looking at. I asked him so what does that mean! Is it bad or good he said I want you to take a look at this I told him I definitely wasn’t qualified to look over anything because I didn’t have any training or schooling he insisted so I went to look over with him during this conversation with him he told me It could be cancer and he would get me over to one of the best specialist in Az and he would get me in right away! He never did!! Didn’t even call I had to do all the leg work and get the imaging he never got sent over!! It took 10 days after that appointment to be seen by honor health just to get a biopsy that shelden could have gotten done for me but since he doesn’t care just like everyone else at orthoarizona nothing gets DONE STAY AWAY!!!!!!!
Friendly and professional.
