I had a hip replacement with Dr. Martin 3 weeks ago. Crazy, but I thought I could do it without pain meds! Dr. Martin's office did give me a script for Percocet which I tried to explain I cannot take. So I decided to go through this cold turkey! Again, CRAZY! The first week wasn't too bad, but the second week was definitely tough. Now I am fairly pain free, walking without a walker or a cain!
I absolutely adore Dr. Martin! I come from a family of docs, and have been around the medical profession for years. I wanted a great surgeon AND a very personable one! I found that in Dr. Martin! He was great during my first visit, great in pre-op and great when he made rounds the next day.
Today he showed me my new x-rays and everything looks great! Hopefully my knees will hold out forever, if not I would definitely be back to see Dr. Martin (only with pain meds)
