  • Everything was excellent.

  • I saw both [redacted] and Dr. Martin at this visit. Both were caring and helpful! I especially appreciated Dr. M saying she would be in touch with Dr. [redacted], who I see at the BWH pain clinic, so _if_ we end up going with surgery, that she'd coordinate with him to make sure I had adequate pain control.

  • will go back in a heartbeat; recommended an alternative if what she did doesn't resolve the problem. Had confidence she knew exactly what the outcome would be. Was patient with her patient. Procedure resulted in virtual total elimination of pain

  • I had a very positive experience with my surgery and recovery. Dr. Martin was awesome. I did not have any problems whatsoever and I'm very, very glad that I went ahead and had the non-invasive spun surgery. I would recommend it to anybody who needs that kind of surgery. In fact, I have. Thank you.

  • The appointment with Dr. Martin went very smoothly and on schedule. Very important to me that things are timely and it was. Dr. Martin herself presented as competent and knowledgeable about my situation and what needed to be done and I felt I was in capable hands. Thank you. Bye.

  • The provider was almost a half an hour late for my appointment. They did not apologize and rushed through the visit. They recommended an ankle fusion without looking at my chart and then later said that looking at my chart they would recommend a replacement instead. They ignored me when I initially said that I did not want a fusion and was looking for other possible solutions. They stood far away from me and acted as if they did not want to touch me. They did not look at me when they spoke to me. They did not give me satisfactory answers to the possible risks and recovery of a possible replacement. I left with questions and no answers. The visit was not a good experience.

    2026-02-18

  • Dr. Martin is wonderful. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an orthopedic doctor.

    2026-02-01

  • Dr. Martin was amazing. I saw her for a second opinion. The foot and ankle surgeon I saw at UMassMemorial was scheduling me for a major foot reconstruction surgery without even looking at my MRi or x-rays. He actually didn't even order the xray or MRI until after that appointment where he explained the surgery. Dr. Martin actually explained the MRI to me and pointed out the tear on my tendon. The UMassMemorial doctor told me that wasn't necessary - he'd see me in surgery. Dr. Martin was tremendously reassuring that I didn't need major reconstruction - that it would be a smaller procedure if I even needed it. They sent me home with a walking boot/air cast which she thought might give my tendon time to heal on its own. They couldn't get the MRI to load in the system, so she called me the next day and gave me a long time on the Zoom appointment. I felt encouraged to ask a lot of questions, and she never led me to think I was bothering her or keeping her longer than she wanted to. I am extremely happy with the care I received from her!

  • Dr. Martin is the quintessential ideal doctor. Personable, thorough, thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, and caring. I travel to her for a reason and she never disappoints. I consider it an honor to be under her care.

  • This was my first appointment with Dr. Martin. It was a good appointment, she was thorough, listened to me and I felt it was a positive experience

    2025-11-16

  • Dr. Martin answered my many questions, was reassuring, and alleviated my fears.

  • Dr. Martin was awesome. She took the time to explain everything. We discussed some exercises to improve my mobility for my ankle. Easy Peezy. I gave her a big hug. Thanks again.

    2025-11-12

  • I think Dr. Martin is an excellent doctor. However, I think she promises things that she can't necessarily deliver on. I was told that my surgeries, because I need two of them, would be scheduled like three or four weeks apart, and she said that wasn't really a big deal. But when scheduling called me, that ended up not being the case, and I have to wait for the first operation, and then I won't get the second one for almost two months. So I think she needs to clarify what she could realistically deliver on before she makes promises she can't keep. Other than that, I think she's an excellent doctor, and I look forward to working with her.

    2025-11-06

  • We couldn't ask for a better care provider than Dr Martin, along with PA. I have a long history with her due to surgeries from a previous doctor not going so well. Her hard work, and dedication are most likely the reasons I am able to use my foot.

    2025-11-02

  • Dr Martin was very easy to talk with, did a complete history and exam of my ankle including comparrison with non affected ankle for diagnosis and treatment planning, Thank you

    2025-10-26

  • Excellent experience. Dr was running very behind, but treated me as if she was ahead of schedule. Very composed and competent. Extremely good explaining complex subjects.

    2025-10-15

  • Dr. Martin was smart and helpful. She listened attentively and referred me to radiology injection.

    2025-10-11

  • They saw me earlier and I was scheduled. They made me feel like an individual because they had to search me out to get me there earlier. Everybody from soup to nuts was very helpful and informative. I thought the visit was a little short and Dr. Martin didn't wrap my wound carefully enough on the way out Just put it up medium sized Band-Aid on it. My registered nurse ex-wife was surprised at that. The hospital itself is beautiful. Well designed, the lunchroom is fantabulous. Good food no overcrowding when I was there twice. The buildings are confusing, but that's only natural.

    2025-10-01

  • Dr. Martin was excellent and listen to all my questions and provided answers and suggestions to all. She is an excellent provider. She was also very pleasant and upbeat in her personality and presentation. Her physicians assistant, [redacted] was equally helpful, pleasant and informative. I felt lucky to have gotten to see both of them as this was my first time visiting Westwood.

    2025-09-28
