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.

Telehealth appointments…
I have made TWO telehealth appointments in which I never received a phone call for either. I’ve been out of one of my medications for almost three weeks now and it’s apparently impossible to receive a call for a scheduled telehealth appointment.

Dr Martin was very compassionate when I lost my mom. Tracy Campbell has been very thorough with my prescribed medicines, and my therapist Kelsey does a great job of normalizing my stressors. I would highly recommend them.

If I could give them negative stars I would. They are refusing medication to a bipolar person because he is out of state looking for a job... Its nothing to call in medication to a pharmacy here but they are refusing my brother medicine.. when i called to voice my concern the office manager was very rude.. you could hear the distain in her voice. Its not smart to take a bipolar person off their medication cold turkey especially lithium. Im not a doctor and I know that.. They obviously dont care about their patients. Hippocratic Oath??? all they had to do was give him two weeks of medicine and hed be out of their lives. I hope the practice closes

Answered a personal phone call during our session, and rescheduled the second session as a phone call, 20 mins before out appointment. I was waiting by the phone for an hour, finally called the office at 4:30, and they were already closed. He seemed less than interested, and texted on his phone during our session. I do not recommend him at all. His nurse however, that interviews you before you see him, was thorough and personable.

he seems very good. listens. tends to run over appointment times. my last visit I waited over an hour, for which he did apologize. front desk told me my insurance was accepted. It ISN'T. Thus, I have paid out of pocket more than anticipated. They are closed on Fridays, so if you can, do not have a Monday appointment. Their answering service cannot seem to get messages to them. And, the charged me for a visit I cancelled via answering service. ?!***

I saw him when I signed into the Psych ward, He seemed to listen to the other patients but prabably they did not like his discision to not release them. I believe he was right. He released me and was helpful after my release in finding resouces that would help my psychological needs.

I've been withthis doctor nearly a year and hes seemed to care less and less. I just go in to get refills now basically. His PA is the worst, she doesn't know anything about the patients or their illnesses. I do not want to see the PA, but it seems like most of the time I do. This is new too as to begin with he was great, but now hes just gotten apathetic. He wont even make time to sign my damn Prior auth for my insurance. It's been almost a month now since he wrote that prescription too.

If you are going to complain then take yourself and your Medicaid card to a free clinic. He doesn't have to see you stated supported freeloaders, but he does. Both Martins always more than kind and take their time at my appointments. Plus I see an awesome therapist.

A poor practice at best, where staff shows little to no apathy for patient needs. The practice is run like a factory. It shows little regard in truly wanting to help patients. If you are a robot, and just come in for medication, never disagree, or ask questions, then you might be fine. If this was a dentist, I could understand, but, look at the heading under the Doctor's name.

Dr. Ernest Martin has been very understanding to my mental issues and has worked with me to make sure that I am given the correct medicine. Dr. Martin has also placed me with a great therapist to help me to make the adjustments that I need to get my life on track with the issues that created drama within my life. I am pleased to say that I am getting better with issues in my life. Thanks.

My appt. was on 7/18/17 at 3:45 & 4:00. Have panic attacks, depression, anxiety. Office called that morning & cancelled. Was told "I did not fit the practice". DEVASTATING! NO HOPE NOW! If I called & cancelled the day of appt., I would have to pay a fee. He refused to tell why he would not see me. Unprofessional, Unethical. With my issues what psych. WILL FIT? If something happens to me AND IT MIGHT, he will have questions to answer. DON'T SEE HIM! ANY Dr. is better than Martin. (MBP, 7/18/17).

TL;DR I had to wait 1.5 hours to be seen on both of my visits. The care was very impersonal. After being very polite I was told by Dr. Martin “I will see you today, but if you cause another disturbance in my lobby you can get out and find yourself another psychiatrist”.

The wait time is HORRIBLE!! Patients are scheduled as early as 9:45 and he rarely gets to the office by 11. He once was a caring and dedicated doctor, now he sees more $ dollar signs.. I had very high respect for him at one time, now.. NO WAY!! Very unprofessional to keep his patients waiting for more than 2 hours before he comes to the office. If you are late, they cancel your appointment and charge you $50.. But he and his office staff thinks it is okay for you to wait on him!

Absolutely no respect for patient's time he even doesn't even show up! I came complaining about certain conditions, and he's trying to treat something completely different. I kept asking him for treatment to what I was complaining about, and he kept asking me how am I doing regarding what he thinks I am complaining about. We did tests, both written & blood, and he didn't score the written one. I had to press them to score the written one. They only looked at blood result after 2 months!

this doctor is an incompetent sorry excuse for a physician he has no regard for patients and little regard for appointment times. ALWAYS late for appointments. he prescribes a cluster of medications that have ill reactions with one another. He has his wife see patients and forge his signature on prescriptions. granted she is an internal medicine doctor. she has poor knowledge of medications for someone with a degree in internal medicine. I loathe them with a burning passion. Don't come here!

Worst experience I've ever had with any physician! Staff was also ride and asked what I was going there? I said I have an appintment. He was unconcerned that I had recent heart surgery that may have caused my depression. He seemed intoxicated when I was in his office after a 2 hour wait to see him. The waiting ares was full of people but several left upset about the long wait. I have great insurance and capability to pay but he didn't seem to know anything to do about depression?
