Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Surgeon
Dr. Martin clearly explained the procedures that would be used and answered all of our questions. Thanks to his surgical skills and endurance, the almost 7 hours of surgery must have gone flawlessly, to give me such a fantastic recovery. I am eternally grateful for Dr Martin and his wonderful team at the Center for Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery.

He was totally forthcoming discussing the surgery and, in spite of pressure during surgery, stuck to the robotic method instead of switching surgery technique. It would have been easier for him to abandon robotics but harder for me, as patient, to recover.

Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon
Dr. Martin thoroughly explained my lung surgery, step by step, from start to finish. He took all the time I needed and answered every question I had. On the morning of the surgery, he was upbeat and put me at ease. The surgery and hospital stay went as well as it possibly could have. In our follow-up meeting, Dr. Martin explained everything that needed to be done in the future. If you need this type of surgery, I highly recommend Dr. James R. Martin. If need be, I would have Dr. Martin perform my surgery again.

Wonderfully Caring Surgeon
Dr. James Martin is a phenomenal surgeon and our outcome was much better than expected. He takes time with his patients and makes sure all questions are answered. He doesn’t rush you and makes sure that you are well informed throughout the entire process. He goes above and beyond and has a great bedside manner with the patients and their families. I can’t recommend him and his wonderful team enough.
