Trusted Arizona Orthopedic Practice Announces Saturday Clinic Hours at Its East Valley Location

Dr. Shelden Martin, an orthopedic surgeon with one of the Valley’s leading orthopedic practices, OrthoArizona - Arizona Orthopaedic Associates, is now offering Saturday clinic hours once a month beginning June 1.

Chandler, AZ, May 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Shelden Martin, an orthopedic surgeon with one of the Valley’s leading orthopedic practices, OrthoArizona - Arizona Orthopaedic Associates, is now offering Saturday clinic hours once a month beginning June 1.

Dr. Martin, who is fellowship trained in sports medicine and shoulder/elbow surgery, will perform physician duties on those who find themselves in an orthopedic emergency on specific Saturdays. His office is conveniently located on the southeast corner of Loop 101 and Warner Road at 2905 W. Warner Road, Suite 23 in Chandler, AZ 85224. To schedule an appointment, please call (480) 685-2850.

“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in six visits to the ER is for a sports or exercise related injury,” Dr. Martin said. “Weekend warriors, or people who aren’t very active during the week but become more dangerously active during the weekend, and teen athletes are the main contributors to this statistic. We want to help keep people from paying the high cost of weekend ER bills, and give them the actual specialized care they need.”

Previously, Dr. Martin served as part of the team medical staffs for the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Knights, Joe Gibbs Racing Team and the University of North Carolina. More recently, Dr. Martin was named the head team physician for the Arizona Rattlers and team physician for Desert Vista High School.

Dr. Martin specializes in complex arthroscopic surgery, including ligament reconstruction, cartilage transplants, shoulder and elbow joint replacements, and reverse shoulder replacements. Dr. Martin’s new Saturday clinics are designed to provide a spectrum of cutting-edge services generally not available on the weekend. Now those Arizona residents who fall victim to a sports related injury/accident are able to seek professional help, even on a weekend.

Dr. Martin is a board eligible orthopedic surgeon who received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and biology from LaSalle University in Philadelphia. He performed research at the University of Pennsylvania that led to the discovery of the gene responsible for a rare genetic bone disease. Dr. Martin graduated from medical school at Georgetown University and completed his residency training at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. He then completed a shoulder/elbow and sports medicine fellowship at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte, North Carolina.
