Sent his Phy assistant in. Nice guy. Basically to see if I would get a steroid shot. Out he went. Then the Dr came in. Did not explain my MRI result with me. Barely made eye contact. He ran off a few thing and reached and opened the door and escaped!! Came back in gave the injection. Said physical therapy was needed. Walked out and said to the desk who’s next. So unprofessional. in all my years I have never had a Dr treat me like health didn’t matter. He probably won’t get this but u are the worst Dr I ever had!!!!!!’
Professional demeanor provided a good Explanation of pending surgical Procedures
Pleasant manner.
My appointment was 40 minutes late. The appointment to "review" my MRI result, literally took 2 minutes from when he walked in until he walked out. He does not have a good bedside manner. He ignored my other issue, and only worried about my shoulder. He just does not seem to care about patients. It's very sad, as there are many great providers there... Unfortunately, Dr Martin is not one.
Dr. Martin is always efficient and straight forward. He does not over burdon you with fluff. I appreciate that.
Honest and listened to my questions and comments. Gave me the info I needed to decide my next step.
Honest, knowledgeable, great visiting student! Best relief from knee injections than I’ve ever had.
I’ve had two shoulder replacements with Dr Martin and they both were top notch.
Exceptional open discussion clarifying ev9erything
The cortisone injection really helped. Thank you
