Overview
Orthopedic surgery has the power to drastically improve the life of a patient. It can start the recovery process following an injury, relieve painful conditions and even return lost function. In short, it can be a new beginning.
There are many reasons that our orthopedics program receives such high marks: state-of-the-art facilities; experienced, board-certified surgeons; a commitment to quality and safety; and, most importantly, our focus on you, our patient.

James S. Martin, MD
Dr. Martin earned a bachelor of science in pre-medicine at Penn State and a medical doctorate at Penn State’s College of Medicine. He completed an orthopedic residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals Clinics and an orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. At the Institute, Dr. Martin worked with national experts to improve the understanding, prevention and treatment of sports-related injuries through research and education.
Dr. Martin’s dedication to orthopedics and sports medicine began when he was an elite student-athlete at Penn State. As an undergraduate student, he was the 1988 NCAA Wrestling Champion, a four-time wrestling All-American, and he was honored as the top male athlete in the country for two consecutive years while at Penn State. This experience shaped his view of the musculoskeletal system, its capabilities and ability to regenerate.
