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.

Dr. Martin performed my gallbladder surgery. From the moment I first walked into his office through my post op appointment, Dr. Martin showed the utmost compassion and respect for my situation. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Dr. Martin.

The BEST surgeon around!!!
Couldn’t possibly find a better surgeon or person! Dr. Martin is very informative and cares deeply about his patients! When my mom needed her gangrenous gallbladder removed she was referred to the surgeon on call at the hospital in which I have no personal/professional respect for and would not allow him to operate. Dr. Martin was quick to step up into their place and took such good care of my mother! If I ever need a general surgeon I will follow this man wherever he is to be my surgeon! Thank God for creating such a talented and caring human being!

If I could give Dr. Martin 10 stars I would. I was very sick and had to have major surgery. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about my Illness. You are always nervous knowing you need surgery but he made me feel calm and I knew I was in excellent hands. After my surgery he took care of all my needs and always came by to see me. He has the greatest bed side manner. Thank You Dr. Martin. You have given me my life back.

This so called surgeon needs a lesson in how to treat his patients. I had hernia surgery preformed by him that turned into a total nightmare for me. The pain after the surgery was different and much more sever than before the surgery. His attitude when I tried to explain the pain was that it had nothing to do with him. Yes he actually said that without suggesting some tests to rule out anything he just blew me off. I still have pain to this day and have no feeling in the area he worked on.

Dr Martin canceled my new patient appointment because he is too narcissistic to care about helping a World Trade Center 1st responder! I am a member of the World Trade Center Registry Program. The program monitors thousands of persons who were in or around the WTC on or after 9/11/01. Martin could not be bothered to complete some extra paperwork regarding this important study, so he canceled my appt! Every 2.7 days someone passes away from a 911 related illness. Very unprofessional Doctor!SMH

Recently Dr, Martin performed surgery on me which was more complicated than was originally planned. I saw Dr. Martin every day in the hospital. He was warm, friendly, professional and encouraging.His bedside manner and communication skills were wonderful. He is always smiling, extends himself to allow college students to shadow him and is extremely conscientious about answering questions and dealing with surgical difficulties. His office staPff is very responsible about scheduling appointment
