Hal F. Martens, D.O.

Board Certified Rheumatologist
Fairmont Orthopedic & Sports Medicine

Rheumatologist Dr. Hal Martens specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles, and bones. Rheumatologists treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, musculo-skeletal pain disorders and osteoporosis. Since many types of rheumatic diseases are difficult to diagnose, rheumatologists are trained to do the detective work necessary to discover the cause of pain and swelling.

The only rheumatologist routinely practicing in the region, Dr. Martens' main office is in Palestine,Texas. He contributes to the Fairmont health care community by seeing patients twice a month. Dr. Martens practice allows patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders to stay close to home versus traveling to receive physician care.

Practicing rheumatology since 1991, Dr. Martens brings with him a plethora of experience in the field. He is a graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his internal medicine residency at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Flint, MI. His rheumatology training was at University of Washington-Seattle. The Center for Specialty Care and Dr. Martens are able to provide patients with the most comprehensive and consistent orthopedic care in the region.
