Obviously, he is an experienced doctor, however, developing some emotional intelligence would have made the appointment significantly more positive.
His staff was great helping me figure out what I nneddd to do to deal with my shoulder issues
Excellent!
Highly professional and a true expert in his craft. Thanks for getting me on the right path to recovery.
I am so grateful that I was out in touch with Dr. Martin. He was very professional, caring and I now have all the confidence in the world in my specialist.
Love his manner of checking the results of my surgery and answering all of the questions my husband and I had for him. Very knowledgeable and easy to speak to.
Liked him very much. Very comfortable with him and his staff.
This surgeon has seen a lot of old knees,he knows what you need. Trust him.
This was a very disappointing encounter. He made no effort to listen to anything I said. I felt rushed and that I was just taking up his time. He said I needed an MRI, that someone would call me in the next 1 to 2 weeks to schedule the MRI. Then he abruptly rushed out the door.! This is unacceptable. Patients deserve proper care, courtesy, and respect.
Pleasant and efficient.
