Patient Reviews
Staff are very friendly and Dr. Martin took time to answer all my questions.
Everything was great. Timely and everyone was very professional!!
Check in to consult w doctor was excellent for apprehensive patient. Dr Martin and team members are gentle, understanding, and explain procedures and treatment that is easy to understand and follow. Thanks to you all for helping me get back to daily activities.
Dr.Martin was very nice and he answered all my questions. I'm only 6 weeks out and am walking with a cane half the time and on my own the other half.
Had a total right hip replacement. Dr Martin did an outstanding job.! Recovery was quick because the surgery was done so well. ORA has a fantastic support team. GOOD!!..I would highly recommend.
I saw Dr Martin quickly and he reviewed the Xrays of my knees and checked them physically. He offered options to deal with the pain in both knees and gave me a shot in my left knee to help with the pain. The only option for the knee replacement was to continue PT.
Everyone was caring and pleasant and informative. I was apprehensive about the experience but they took care of that very professionally
Very kind understanding man. Highly recommend him
Quickly and and nearly painlessly got the injections in my knees.
This Doctor was the best anyone could ask for. The surgery went well and his interest involving the patient was over the top..
Compassionate-listened to concerns successful left knee- doing r knee soon-great surgeon and cares for his patients
Mark (PA) was very helpful and explained everything so I could understand it. I hope I can continue seeing Mark when Dr Martin retires.
Extremely professional, excellent results. Highly recommend. Accolades to entire team..
Dr Martin is an excellent surgeon.
The people there are very nice
We discussed the issue I was having with my knee. It was determined that physical therapy would be beneficial.
Had to wait 45 minutes after our appointment time
Dr. Martin is always pleasant and willing to take the extra time to explain and answer questions. I would recommend him to anyone considering hip surgery.
I’ve finally gotten to the point where knee replacement was unavoidable. This is significant, because a previous surgeon seemed self-serving and arrogant. After damaging my knee with an unclean injection, I dropped him for ORA, specifically Dr. Martin. His level-headed approach built my confidence. No undue pressure. Cool guy. He’s assuring a better outcome with excellent pre-op.
Dr. Martin took his time to listen to my concerns. He also walked me through the next steps and various options we could try. Great to work with and very kind.
Staff is always courteous and efficient. Doctor has a great bedside manner, is not too busy to thoroughly explain every detail of the diagnosis and treatment plan, I do not feel like there is a better way to heal orthopedic injuries than His philosophy towards healing, as well as his manner and methods of treating not only the entire person but the entire family in the case of an injured minor or an injured partner.

Michael Gahagan—-Dr Martin totally respected my decision to opt for a steroid injection at this time as opposed to a knee replacement, which I realize I will eventually need.
Straightforward, kind and helped make a plan to monitor my knee pain.
ORA is an efficient, well-run medical practice. My experience there with Dr Martin for a hip replacement was nothing but positive from my initial appointment that determined I needed the procedure to the follow up 10 days later. I'll return in 4 weeks to show off my progress with the help of exercises and physical therapy. My hip is pain free!
need a new knee
Absolutely outstanding care. Everyone has listened to my concerns and are working towards a full recovery.
Great experience. Received injection in right knee and feel absolutely great now. Dr. Mark is friendly, professional and a great listener. Enjoy meeting him.
I was so happy with Dr. Martin and my new hip. My followup appts were helpful with some new suggestions. I was very confident in him and hope he will be still practicing when it is time to do the other hip.
He listened to me and gave me the care I expected. He also told me how to help my left leg get stronger.
Dr Martin is amazing. My grandpa sees him for his knee pain and he is so kind and compassionate about everything. We highly recommend Dr. Martin
My grandpa sees Dr. Martin and we could not say enough good things about him. He is kind, compassionate, truly knows what he is doing and just an amazing doctor! Highly highly recommend Dr. Martin.
He was very companionable about my problem and I would go back to him any time
He was helpful in answering questions pre knee surgery and made you feel comfortable
I’m having some unexpected problems with my hip and he managed to squeeze me in. I appreciated it!
Great doctor and great office personnel!
Dr Martin performed a total knee replacement for me. He was extremely professional, kind, and open to any questions I had. His whole staff could not have been more accommodating. I’m recuperating well and looking forward to getting back to my old self. I highly recommend Dr Martin.
They are always so courteous and thorough.
Doctors are very knowledgeable very timely on getting you into your appointment
I feel that Dr Martin is very qualified in his practice and I believe he could help me.The only thing I forgot to ask him is after the surgery could I be able to walk better again instead of walking with a cane or a walker.
I have been a patient of Dr. Martin since 2014 through one knee and both hips and now another knee. I’ve been able to walk and hike and enjoy the outdoors because of his expertise and skills. Thank you Dr. Martin!
Dr. Martin is a very pleasant and knowledgeable person who replaced my right knee and I am going back to have my left knee replaced. I highly recommend Dr., Martin.
The employees are very polite and helpful. Dr Martin is polite helpful
Dr Martin performed a hip replacement revision just 6 days after the original after I fell and broke the femur. Fantastic outcome and wonderful compassion to help my wife through the ordeal
My visit recently with Dr Martin was everything I might have hoped for in medical care. He was knowledgeable and generous with his time in sharing that knowledge. He answered all of my questions in a forthright, complete, and understandable manner. Having worked as a registered nurse for many years, I am very picky about my medical care and Dr Martin fulfills all of my expectations!
Dr Martin has done 2 surgeries for me and recently I had a follow up appointment with him related to recent pain in my knee. He did a very thorough evaluation, reviewed xrays & bloodwork with me. Spent time explaining what he recommended for treatment. I left my appointment with great faith in his assessment & recommended treatment.
Absolutely the best and knows his stuff!
Awesome doctor, answered all questions and great beside manners.
Dr. Martin did a total hip replacement-- excellent services, always had time to answer questions, extremely informative and professional. Great connection with the physical therapists -- definitely recommend!
It was the best decision I ever made for my health concerns and care. I had a total right hip replacement. I have fully regained my normalcy of ambulating. I'm blessed for Dr Martin's excellent services. His staff are professional. ORA cares about their patients. Plus they have an excellent connection with a physical therapy organization. I was very fortunate. I had one of best therapist in Mallory. Through the whole procedure they all supported me.
Great patient communication and empathy. My favorite Doctor.
Awesome thanks
I have the best of care that I could ask for with ORA and Dr Joe Martin. He ALWAYS listens to my concerns and takes his time with explaining my options! I would NOT go anywhere else for my aches in my joints!
I had a left total knee replacement on 10/25/21. One month later I had a right total hip replacement. I wanted to have both done in a timely manner in order to be prepared for a trip that was planned in February. As a retired PT, I was familiar with Dr. Martin’s stellar reputation and was confident in a positive outcome. I couldn’t have asked for an easier and more rapid recovery. I am back doing everything I used to be able to do before the knee and hip pain became unbearable. His Physician Assistant, Mark Hichborn, was great as well!
Excellent surgeon. Did both of my hips. No more pain! Highly recommend.
With in ten days I am walking with out a cane or a walker. The worst pain I am having is on my lower shin bone.
Very pleasant experience, extremely informative and professional.
Dr Martin spent a lot of time with me during the examination. Ensuring I understood my options for treatment. Asking for my feedback making me feel conformable. Only then made recommendations treatment. Overall the treatment ant outcome has been excellent.
Dr. Joseph Martin was wonderful explaining what to expect with my hip replacement surgery. He had time to answer questions and made me feel prepared for surgery. On the day of surgery, Dr. Martin talked with me and everything went as expected. Thank you for improving my life and taking away the pain!!
Dr Martin is an excellent surgeon. I had both knees replaced within 8 weeks of each other and the second one healed even sooner than the first. I contribute my success to Dr Martin and following his excellent guidance exactly as directed. He is dedicated to helping his patients!
1st appt. Seemed like a nice, knowledgeable person.
Well explained procedure and provided exercises to help build strength in legs.
Dr. Martin and his staff took excellent care of me. My right knee replacement was in need of a revision surgery. He performed the surgery with a great outcome. My left knee also needed replacement. That outcome was excellent as well. Thanks to Dr. Martin for helping me get through this trying time. I am now back to work pain free.
I've had one knee surgery through ORA. I've also come here for a foot problem. Both doctors have been very nice and very helpful. Along with all the staff. I'm going back if needed.
Fantastic practice! From Urgent to Surgical Care, Dr. Martin and the ORA staff provided exceptional pre to post surgical care for my husband and I. We will always choose Dr. Martin and the ORA staff.

Dr. Martin just did my total knee and will be doing a total hip on the opposite side in 3 weeks so that I can recover sufficiently for my tropical vacation in February! I trust him completely and I am thrilled with my progress so far. After only a week and a half I’m able to walk without any device and doing stairs safely. I’m going to resume my yardwork tomorrow! This would not be possible to have recovered this quickly without his knowledge and experience in performing these orthopedic surgeries.
Dr. Martin replaced my left knee in 2020. I am happy with results, however I am now having problems with my right knee. He was warm and attentive. He reviewed my history, asked questions, did a thorough exam and explained his findings. He made recommendations on when to follow up and treatment options.
Appointments are easy to get, never have to wait too long, Dr. Martin is great, thorough, wonderful bedside manner and fixes the problem!
This is the best place to go for any orthopedic problems. Everyone is nice, helpful, and listens to you.
Fast, friendly service. ORA was highly recommended to me by everyone I know in town. After just 2 visits, I definitely see why. Very professional staff, great doctor (Martin), and they have helped me a lot so far. I highly recommend them.
I'm writing this for my husband Doug Stewart. "It was a perfect surgery and healing much faster than anticipated. Thank you Dr. Martin."
Doctor Martin did my revision on my left knee after a fall two years prior. He did a fantastic job !! Even though I wanted to go back to work earlier, he had me wait the full 12 weeks of my FMLA which was the right call. I'm am now back at work with no pain. It's amazing how much better I feel !! And am now working with a general physician to lose some weight. I don't know if at some point I will need a revision on my right knee, but if I do, I hope Doctor Martin will still be practicing to be able to do it. Thank you so much !!
ORA is great. This was my second knee replacement done by Dr. Martin. He does a great job. He also has great PAs. Mark Hichborn has been a great help with follow-up visits, recommendations, and giving cortisone shots. You couldn’t ask for a better team.
Dr. Martin is an expert orthopedic surgeon. I have had great results and quick recovery for both my hip and knee replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Martin. He is dedicated to his patients and an overall great guy.
Dr. Martin is a very thorough orthopedic surgeon when it comes to explaining procedures, and alternative options. He will be doing my knee surgery soon. Also, the nurses, receptionist and x-ray technician are very helpful and nice.
Very good Doc explained everything very well
I have had two TKR done by Dr. Martin. The first a few years back was worked wonderful. The second is less than 2 weeks out but well on the way to be good as new.
I had both of my hips replaced in 2 years. Dr Martin and staff were available and quick to responded to questions or issues I had.
Outstanding surgery replacement of left knee and outstanding follow up care. Would definitely use again.
Hip replacement and follow up went very well no pain
Doctor Joseph Martin and PA Mark Hichborn!

I have gone to Dr Martin since 2001. That staff is always friendly and helpful. Dr Martin is very skilled, patient, friendly, and explains things very well.
Dr.Martin and his staff helped manage my arthritis to avoid replacing my knee as long as possible. When the time came they got me scheduled and completed my surgery as quickly as possible during the pandemic. Thank you
Ive never had a broken bone. I felt the staff did a fine job communicating with me on a level I could understand
Dr. Joseph Martin is a class act! Excellent bedside manner. He explains your procedure thoroughly with a great depth of knowledge and by gets right to the point. What a genuine and caring individual who shows appreciation for his patients!
Dr. Martin gave me a total hip replacement. His expertise, knowledge, and guidance helped me get quality of life back that I hadn't realized I was missing. He is friendly and professional. A true gem of a doctor.
They take good care of you.
Very good
Great experience! Received injection and it is helping already.
Excellent
I had a successful surgery by Dr Martin-I'm surprised at the vast difference a total hip would make. I no longer have hip pain!
Dr. Martin, was both professional and reassuring about condition. he put me at ease, before my surgery. in all, I was very happy with both my pre-surgery and post-surgery experience. he and his staff were helpful and very nice to work with. my surgery as of today has been a huge success and I'm very thankful to actor Martin and his staff.
Dr. Martin is a kind, compassionate individual who is quite experienced in his field. He's replaced my left knee back in 2015 and I had very little to no pain after the incision healed completely. I would recommend him to anyone who is experiencing sever knee pain or had a knee injury.
Dr Martin is very professional and caring physician and truly wants what is best for his patients . I had a total knee two weeks ago and have had awesome success due to his clinical skills. I am walking with a cane and have greater than 90 degree flexion and full extension, I do my exercises that his team has given me faithfully and ice my knee as needed... I am totally pain free. I would highly recommend if you needed to have a total knee to have Dr Martin perform you surgery and listen to the team that he has acquired for your own success and pain free living...
Very professional. From a patient. It was one of the best appointments I ever had for a healthcare issue. His staff was amazing and compassion. Very talented and experienced. The whole process was amazing. I had alot confidence, trust that I had the right facility, doctor and a supportive staff. I strongly recommend ORA. It's definitely a five star rating.
