From the intake staff at the office to the nurses in the hospital, to the doctor himself, everyone was helpful, empathetic, and responsive. I highly recommend Dr. Martenson and team for your orthopedic surgical needs.

Eleven years ago, Dr. Martenson replaced my right knee. Two weeks ago, he replaced my left. He did an outstanding job both times. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a surgeon.

The whole experience seemed effortless and the surgery was very successful. I healed up very nicely and everyone who looked at the incision area was impressed. I had some reservation about having the surgery done here in Winchester as opposed to UVA where I had all of my spinal surgeries but was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I would recommend Dr. Martensen to everyone.
