The best for any kind of orthopedic care.
Everyone was so nice and friendly. The doctor was awesome. I will continue to come to your place.
Very helpful and considerate.
Always seems to be in a hurry. Would like the appointment to have a little less I”I got to hurry up with my visit,”
We have been to see Dr. Martin twice now. Both times we have seen him. He has had a very lackadaisical attitude. He seemed to try to find the shortest method he could to just appease and not really addressed the problem. His arrogance and condescending manner we find very disturbing. In our last visit, he couldn’t remember which part of the body needed to be injected. This is right after he had done an examination. He knew nothing about the MRI that was requested and did not review it or look at it prior to the appointment. We question whether he even took a look at it. When pressed with questions regarding the diagnosis, he went into generalities and did not specifically address the questions. Nor did he show or explain the condition. He grew very defensive when ask specific questions and only responded in very general terms. It has led us to have little faith in his ability. His answers to the problem has remained the same for the past two visit despite changes in the condition.
Professional and great in the way he interacts with the patient.
Explained things clearly. Gave options. Obviously extremely knowledgeable.
Excellent communication, explains procedures in language you can understand.
Thorough. Friendly. Have total confidence in him.
Spent time explaining the issue and provided many helpful treatment options. A+++++++
