| - Dr. Martin is a true asset to the Las Vegas medical community.
I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Martin when I tore my ACL skiing. He recommended that I have surgery but I was very nervous and frightened. I asked him several dozen questions and he patiently answered each and every one.
I was in denial that I needed surgery because I didn't have any pain in my knee and I thought I would be one of those rare injuries that would be fine. I was wrong.
As the weeks passed, my knee grew more unstable and my activities that I used to enjoy were no longer able to be done. No more hiking, rock climbing, no running.
I returned to Dr. Martin and told him I wanted the ACL reconstruction and I wanted him to do it. He once again patiently answered all of my questions. He told me I would walk out the day of surgery. He sent his assistant Amanda in to the office and we scheduled the surgery.
Dr. Martin prescribed some rehabilitation equipment for my aftercare and it was delivered to my home BEFORE my surgery. A small detail but it was much appreciated! And he ordered a cold compression therapy wrap machine that ran on water instead of ice - a HUGE bonus!
On the morning of my surgery, while I was in the pre-op room at the hospital, Dr. Martin came to see me. He had a big smile on his face, asked me if I had any questions and then asked if I was ready. The warmth and confidence that he exudes made me feel comfortable and secure knowing he was the surgeon going to do the procedure on me. I wasn't scared or nervous after seeing him.
His entire team was truly fantastic! When I explained something was scaring me, the team took the time to comfort me. Dr. Martin's anesthesiologist was especially wonderful. He was very gentle when giving me the nerve block in my leg, he made sure I was comfortable and he made sure I had a series of medications to avoid nausea when they woke me up from the anesthesia after the surgery.
When I woke up, I was alert and interactive. I felt discomfort but no pain! Perhaps it was the nerve block that the anesthesiologist had given me.
My entire leg was wrapped securely and with obvious care and attention to detail. Once I made it into the second stage of recovery, the PT came in. Dr. Martin had agreed I could be sent home with a walker and the PT was going to teach me how to use it. I got up and took those first few steps. I was amazed I was walking after just having ACL reconstruction!
I was sent home within a few hours of the surgery. I walked the same day with the aid of the walker.
My incisions are small and neat, my swelling is minimal, I have some discomfort but not pain.
Thanks to Dr. Martin and his staff, my recovery is going smoothly, my surgery was uneventful and I am so, so grateful I chose Dr. Martin.
He is a true asset to the Las Vegas medical community and I would recommend him to anyone with a knee or shoulder issue.
