I strive to help patients improve their lev­el of func­tion by con­trol­ling pain through exer­cise and injec­tions. Using a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary team approach, I try to remove lim­i­ta­tions and help each patient to improve their over­all qual­i­ty of life.

"Dr Martin Fetzer was horrible. He asked me very few questions about my condition, barely analyzed by body and then acted completely disinterested in providing a diagnosis... Which I believe remains untreated. When I asked questions, he was quick to dismiss my concerns and was unresponsive to my needs. Find another doctor or group to address your issues."
