I had nothing but warm and positive experiences with Dr Marten and his entire office team. I was especially impressed by his aftercare with an RN to monitor major surgery patients the night of their procedure.

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my facelift surgery performed by Dr. Marten. From my initial consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Marten and his team made me feel completely at ease and confident in the entire process. Dr. Marten took the time to listen carefully to my goals and explained the procedure in detail, answering all of my questions and ensuring I was fully informed every step of the way. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I am so pleased with the outcome. My face looks incredibly natural—refreshed, rejuvenated, and without any signs of over-correction or "work." I look like a more youthful version of myself, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The care I received throughout the recovery process was exceptional, with Dr. Marten and the team providing thorough guidance and support to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing experience. I truly appreciate their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for their patients. If you're considering a facelift or any facial cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Marten. He is an incredibly skilled surgeon with an eye for perfection. Thank you, Dr. Marten, for giving me such a beautiful, natural result and for making this experience so positive! -Dr. M

Dr. Marten is most talented and caring facial plastic surgeons. You only have one face. For me it has been few years after early maintenance face lift. I am in my 50 now. Most people think I am in late 30. I still communicate with doctors from time to time. He is perfectionist. I would not trust anyone else. I traveled from Baltimore for my surgery. So worth it!

Dr Marten and his team are the very best. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the way in which I was cared for, before, during and after my procedure. He's a genius and skilled surgeon! Not to mention how kind and generous he is. I keep staring at myself in amazement. I look fantastic and you can't tell that I have had anything done. I look fresh, my skin is smooth, not pulled, no arching eyebrows or stretched lips. I am so completly pleased.
