In 2003 I tore the cartilage and ligaments in the medial aspect of my knee. The first to orthopedic surgeons I saw said I needed a knee replacement but at the time I was fairly young and he said I would have to wait several years until I was much older before he would do the total knee replacement surgery. That was unacceptable. I was working full time as an ICU nurse and led a fairly active lifestyle. I was referred to Dr. Martini by a nurse case manager. He recommended a hemi-arthroplasty, which was a newer procedure at that time, and told me I should be able to go a good 10-12 years before needing a total knee replacement. It has been over 16 years since he did the hemi. I am thrilled to say that I have not yet required any further surgery. Dr. Martini gave me my life back. I was able to return to work, riding motorcycles, dancing, playing basketball with the kids. I can never give enough praise to him. He was a kind, caring, insightful, and patient physician. Thank you so much Dr. Martini. You are AWESOME.
