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.

Very happy with Dr. Martin. Very thorough and down to earth. I hate he’s retiring but wish him the best!

This is the second time I have seen Dr. Martin and as far as I am concerned he is the only one I will see when I go to your office. He is excellent and very competent and also very friendly.

Dr. Martin has been my and my husband's doctor for many years, although today was first time there in several years. Everything about the process of being seen today was extremely professional. From the personnel at the front desk, to the nurse, to the diagnostic testing. Everyone was most efficient with no waiting between phases of the exam process. Dr. Martin is a wonderful, very competent doctor who is also very personable.

One of the great doctors still out there. The best ENT I’ve ever visited, true mastery of the field. Went to a GP that was stumped and then saw Dr. Martin and immediately understood and explained the issue. He runs his practice very well.

I have been sick for over two months. When I went to see Dr. Martin he knew immediately what was wrong and how to treat it and what the time frame would be for healing. I am in that process and doing what he said, also awaiting for my ct scan, it was nice to finally have someone explain what was actually happening to me and why. Looking forward to feeling better.
