Good Doctor
Horrible. Didn’t know anything
Very knowledgeable- a great place to go
Great surgery results
Never talked about my condition nor answered my questions. Just wanted me to commit to surgery for a condition I never had a problem with in my entire life. I worked in medical malpractice litigation for 30 years and he’s a candidate for being sued. He’s arrogant and talks down to patients. I asked for a cortisone shot,and scripts for PT and an anti inflammatory. He answered all right but call me when you want surgery.
Nice office and visit, as a first time patient with him I would have liked to not feel rushed
Very positive up beat Doc. Thorough history, eval and treatment options. I would highly recommend Dr Sheldon to family and friends!
Dr. Martin gave me the information I needed to continue my recovery from surgery..
Didn’t see doctor long enough to make honest assessment, but he was pleasant and explained what we needed to do next.
He said i was too diabetic for surgery no information about my diabetes just an assumption and was so pompous and terrible beside manners. I will NEVER GO TO ORTHO AZ AGAIN
