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 has been my primary care doctor for several years. Recently I have been sick and he went above and beyond making contact with secondary Dr's to get me in quickly for other tests! Dr. Martin is always so genuine and caring and wants to help his patients! I'm so grateful for him.

My husband and I always have a great experience with Dr. Martin.
The prescription department is awful. They seldom return your call and they do not notify you until you are out of medication to schedule an appointment with your doctor.

Dr. Martin was my g.p. for 10 years, and when I turned 50 he did not ever suggest I take calcium. A few years later when I broke my ankle, my orthopedic dr. found osteoperosis. Dr. Martin prescribed medicine, but when I went in 2 years ago, he was unprepared for the visit. I made it to have my medication evaluated, Fosamax, and schedule a bone density test. He couldn't find the last bone density test in my chart, even though they ordered it. Disorganized office, uncaring staff. I left.

We will miss Dr. Martin so much because we are moving to Mrtyle Beach. We hope we can find a doctor as wonderful as Dr. Martin in South Carolina. Dr. Martin has SO many great qualities as a doctor and as a person. He is caring, intelligent, sincere, a good listener, understanding, professional, and is always on time for an appointment. His ability to diagnose problems effectively made us always confident everything will be OK. Thank you again for everything!

Dr. Martin has been my doctor for about 7 years. He's thorough, concise, prompt, doesn't over prescribe and makes me feel confident. They have made some recent chances in the office and now have an excellent staff of people. Very friendly and caring.

I have been seeing Dr. Martin for several years now. He is always caring, concerned and easy to talk to. I always feel that he has taken the time to get to know my medical condition and if he couldn't fix the problem he would refer me to a specialist. Love this Doctor!!!!

My health insurance company, told me to see a family doctor for my medicine, to prevent from having another stroke (not a narcotic). My regular doctors office, stopped taking my insurance. I had every doctor statement, M.R.I's and pill bottle and he wouldn't even look at anything. He said, "we are not giving it to you." Ok, if I have a stroke, you are responsible. He said his employees would be in trouble, for giving me an appointment. You are very unprofessional and should not be a DO.

Dr. Martin has always been great at taking care of my health and always assisting me in my needs or concerns about anything/everything that I have ever needed. I've been going to Dr. Martin for approximately 9 years and there are many other doctors that are much closer to my home but I come here to make sure that I am always well taken care of. The only problem that I've ever had is that it can be difficult to schedule an appointment to see the doctor as he is booked a lot of the times.

I had a concern with my son it was a Friday and I did not want to go to urgent care or wait all weekend, Dr. Martin got him in the same day. Dr. Martin always takes his time with our family and answers all questions. He is also great with my kids and goes above and beyond to make them feel at ease. I would (and I have) recommend friends and family to him. The only change that needs to be made in my opinion is updating the waiting room, exam room d?cor.
