My wait time was minimum I actually got back before my actual appointment time. Everyone super friendly! Dr. Martin is sooooo good!

Review for Dr. Martin

She referred a patient to a sports medicine doctor rather than podiatrist, who cut off her toes. Then she left stitches in patient for 4 months and wanted the patient to amputate her leg.
