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.

Everyone in the office is very friendly. Ryan is the best!

Quick Appointment
Dr. Martin with PA Ryan were knowledgeable and efficient in inspecting my knee and asking questions. I am confident that Dr. Martin and his team are looking to help each patient reach a minimally restrictive recovery. They were cautious answering my questions on what my next recovery steps were.

Personable and professional
I was fortunate to get an appt. Before year end. Even though it was an extremely busy time Dr. Martin did not rush. He took time for the exam, listened to my concerns and explained what was going on and treatment options. He was a referral from a friend and now I will definitely refer him.

Great orthopedic doc
This is the 2nd time I saw Dr Martin. The first time was for my shoulder and this time for my knee. He listens well, is knowledgeable, and kind. He is my go to orthopedic surgeon.

Very little bedside manner. When I shared concerns and feedback about my post op experience, I was met with lack of sympathy and justifications that fell short. I was left to feel like a burden despite being the patient.

This is the first time to use Dr. Martin.
I would most definitely recommend this orthopedic facility and Dr. Thomas Maxwell as I’ve used and loved.The entire visit was timely, friendly by the front office staff.Dr. Martin was very professional and factual, not really friendly.Since my husband has a problem with both a knee and shoulder we will be seeing more of Dr. Martin so I can provide a more accurate review.The follow up to schedule an MRI was definitely amazing!!

Did an excellent job on knee replacement.
Did a good job on my left leg knee replacement. Looking at x-rays of both knees and the left knee looks a whole lot better then the 1st operation 50 years ago.

Excellent patient care and compassion
Dr. Martin and Ryan Marrione have been my orthopedic guys for 20 years. In all that time, they both have provided excellent advice and excellent care. I'm moving away and will miss Dr. Martin and Ryan Marrione tremendously. That have become friends as well.
