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.

Happy retirement!!!!!
Cheerfulness of the entire staff.

3 Month Followup
Visit to review progress 3 months after my total knee replacement. My questions were answered relative to how much bend I had before surgery to compare to current level. Good news I have made progress but given the previous damage it is on track but it will likely never get to the level of my good knee. Everything has healed well and no issues were found.

Dr Martin
I have been a patient of Dr. Martin since 1998. He has performed 6 surgeries on me over those years with excellent results every time. I HIGHLY recommend him. If I could give him ten stars, I would.

Two year checkup on hip reconstruction.
Dr. Martin and everyone are always great! From the first visit until todays two year check up I don't think I've ever spent much more than half an hour total time in the building, including x-rays! Very well run operation!

Very proficient and friendly staff! I was amazed that I was in and out, waiting time under 5 minutes from check in, triage, X-rays, and doc visit. Did not feel rushed at all, felt like I was listened to. Phenomenal!!

Absolutely - he took time to review my previous visit (which was 2 years ago) and used the words "cautiously optimistic" which helped me realize that not all was lost.
