The provider never physically examined my daughter. She looked at her from across the room, ordered and X-ray and went over the results and that was it. Actually she never even got close to her at all. Never touched her legs, no range of motion, nothing. I felt like she was in a rush to get in and get out. She was in the room maybe a total of 5 minutes. I did not feel she took our visit seriously. I wished she would have actually examined my daughter. I needed reassurance about her legs and I felt more brushed off than anything else. I will definitely be rescheduling my daughters follow up appointment with another provider. The nurses however was absolutely fantastic! She interacted with my daughter, laughed with her and talked to us. Didn't rush us or anything.

We love Dr. Martinek! Given the situation we came to her with, she has guided us and answered all of my stupid questions every time without hesitation and without ever making me feel like my question is completely stupid to ask. I tell all my friends to take their kids to her if they have injuries or anything. My older 2 kids even see her! We can't rave enough about her!
