Very professional
Very patient and knowledgeable, overall a great visit.
The very best surgeon! Incredibly skilled and a great communicator.
Dr. Martin is very honest and to the point about your options for treatment. Thank you for laying them out and helping understand the process to recovery!
The doctor was 45 minutes late on his schedule. It was a good appointment.
I had a great visit with Dr Martin. He was attentive to my concerns, straight forward with both his assessment and diagnosis, and very thorough in his explanation of how we would move forward.
I felt like he made a diagnosis before he saw me and was not listening or addressing the injury I came in for. He made me feel that my concern was nothing. I told him it hurt and It was interfering with me being able to do what I normally can do. He basically blew me off about my injury and turfed me off to another orthopedic to see about something else that wasn't bothering me. He didn't address my concern until I told him I felt like he was not listening to me. Then he did his trained song and dance of how to handle a unhappy patient. He said was listening to me and what did I want him to do. Only then did he say he would a MRI on the injury I came in for.
Waited an hour for the doc to come in. Then had to get X-ray then wait again... I am a returning patient for shoulders and knees. He did a great job on the shoulder replacement.
Thorough and efficient.
Waited over an hour for the doctor to be in the room for 45seconds. Frustrating experience.
