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.

No one better for knee surgery.
Dr Roche performed a robotic assisted knee replacement for me 16 months ago.The experience has been great from the initial appointment, through the surgery, recovery, and rehab.Facility, people and results have been tremendous.

Absolutely the best!
I did substantial research for an orthopedic surgeon who does robotic knee surgery and has a follow up plan that manages pain in an adequate approach. Dr Roche met all the criteria and more. I also asked anyone who I met who did their surgery and how was their outcome. If you live in South Florida there is no one better. I was playing golf after 6 weeks of having a full knee replacement and I’m 70 years old.

Best Doctor
Dr. Rouche did my right knee in 2016 and found that I only needed a knee implant. I have had great success and have had no problems. He told me I would probably have to do the left knee eventually. So here I am in 2023 getting an appointment with Dr. Roche to do my left knee. He is a wonderful ortho surgent and cares about all his patients I wouldn't let anyone else do my surgery except Dr. Rouche he is the best!

Office Staff is impossible
As a previous patient I tried to make an appointment with Dr Roche. The scheduling assistant was rude and unprofessional. She kept me on the phone for 45 minutes and could not schedule an appointment. The inmates are truly running the asylum!!!

Best knee surgeon
Ive been a homecare nurse for years. All the patients that I’ve had that had wonderful results after a knee replacement has been with Dr. Roche so when my husband needed knee replacements that’s who we used. My husband had one knee replacement and three months later the other knee replacement and he was back to work within four weeks. He walks better than I do and has no issues whatsoever

It is now 3 months since I had my left knee fully replaced by Dr Roche. I’ve reviewed him a while back and here is a quick follow up. Yesterday was 3 months to the day that I had the surgery. And yesterday I was on the tennis court with a ball machine, loving every minute Thanks Dr Roche

I had both TKA’s by Dr. Roche in 2019. I’m truly blessed that he did my surgeries. He performed them with robotic equipment and both legs are finally straight and without pain. He truly has the gift of G-d’s hands. I cannot express how grateful I am to him and his staff for everything!!

I was operated on April 2nd, 2018 for my left knee, and on Oct. 29, 2018 for my right knee, by Dr. Martin Roche. Both operations went exceptionally well. It was worth waiting seven months for these procedures. Dr. Roche explanations at the prior meetings were courteous, precise, and easy to understand. His staff, more particularly Maureen Rosario , is well trained, competent and efficient. The services provided by Holy Cross Hospital, after surgeries ( nursing and physiotherapy ), were excellent.

He did an incredible job on my full knee replacement. However he did something we did not discuss or approve in advance. He straightened my leg where I am no longer bowlegged as a surprise at no charge. I forget I have a knee replacement. It is simply my knee except when I go through security at the airport.

First impressions are always the ones you remember. Today I had an appointment with Dr. Roche to discuss having a knee replacement. Dr. Roche explained everything meticulously with his splendid bedside manor. I did schedule an appointment for a knee replacement with extreme confidence in Dr. Roche. I waited 3 months for the appointment, but it was worth the wait. Also, I must mention his staff who was friendly and informative as well.

We were very impressed with Dr. Roche’s understanding and the conservative approach that he is recommending for the treatment of the Padgett’s Disease that I have in my right knee, an extremely unique place for Padgett ‘s to settle in. Dr. Roche is taking the conservative approach in order to hopefully avoid surgery for a long time if ever.

Dr. Martin W. Roche is absolutely the best! I had total knee replacement of the right knee on Monday, 11/28/2016 and i was up and using walker to go to the bath within a day or two after surgery. It's only been two weeks since surgery and with PT I feel like I am going to really do great. Dr. Roche has excellent bedside manners and this has trickled down to his PA's and his nurses. They explained everything and they showed genuine concern and interest before and after my surgery. The BEST!

The best of the best, he is second to none. I had 2 knee replacement done by this doctor. Went home and climbed 12 flights of stairs, He promised that I would feel better in 2 weeks, that happened exactly what happened. His staff is excellent, he is patient, pleasant, experienced and professional. I recommend him to everyone. You will never regret it.
