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
Dr. Martin and the whole staff are always kind and compassionate and ready to help any way they can.

Great Experience
First visit after signing up for MDVIP. This was a follow-up after my physical. Very comprehensive review and Doc Harris took the time to go through every detail.

Dr. Martin is very knowledgeable.
What stood out is the prompt attention given to you. Working with Dr. Martin and his staff gives a feeling of comfort. They really care about you and listen to you before they give guidance. I have known Dr. Martin for a long time and would not go to another doctor. As mentioned above he is very knowledgeable, kind, and he and his staff put you first.

First one-on-one appointment
Unusual. Reviewed hard copy of test results from previous appointment. No serious issues.Remainder of appointment was mostly conversational, likely because there were 'no serious issues.'

Meticulous Meaningful Care
The office utilizes high tech equipment, and they colloborate with one of the best cardivascular groups in the country to detect earliest possible signals of potential alerts. Dr. Martin is very calm, caring, and he is a great listener.

Pre-Op cardiac physical
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Martin for 20-plus years. He has consistently been professional. I have absolute confidence in his ability to insure my health is as good as it can be. Moreover, Dr. Martin is readily available no matter the time of day, or the day of the week. I’ve contacted him multiple times late at night and on weekends and I always get a response. It’s little things like that, that demonstrates one’s willingness to do the right things with patients. He is simply the best!

Best doctor in the greater Nashville area!
Dr Martin is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure to be my PCP. He truly takes the time with you and really listens to you. I had a horrible experience with my previous PCP that landed me in the hospital. So, I fired my previous PCP and hired Dr. Martin and it was one of the best decisions I have ever took in my life. Trust in Dr. Martin with his many years of experience, you won't be disappointed.

Exceptional Physician
I recently had a visit with Dr. Martin and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming and Jenny was warm and affectionate. Dr. Martin took the time to listen to my concerns and was very thorough in his examination. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. I appreciate his attention to detail and his willingness to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Martin to anyone in need of a caring and knowledgeable physician.

Best Medical Experience in Years!
About a year ago, I chose Dr. Richard Martin based on his reviews and the reputation of MDVIP. I was very dissatisfied with my current primary care physician group which only exacerbated my issues. During the past twelve months under Dr. Martin's guidance, I have made great strides in my health journey and just had my annual physical. I so admired the professionalism exuded during this two part process and loved the way the results were handled. To offer more detail, you visit Dr. Martin's office for Part 1 where your blood is taken, some physical tasks are completed, questionnaires answered, and a meeting with Dr. Martin. After approximately two weeks, you re-visit Dr. Martin where you have a written, in-depth analysis of the current state of your health. This was the most thorough physical that I have ever had by a medical professional. I don't think anyone realizes how stressful it is to worry about your physical and mental health--Dr. Martin and his team are EXCELLENT!

Dr Martin has cared for our family for several years and we feel most comfortable entrusting our health care to both Dr Martin and Jennie his nurse. They are a great team. Dr Martin gives as much time as we want or need to discuss our tests results and answers any questions most satisfactorily. We are pleased with all the services offered at his office. We are most comfortable with his whole team from the time we register until we depart. I gladly recommend Dr Martin to our friends.

Dr. Martin and nurse Jennie Crousser are a great team that is extremely effective in caring for me and my wife. Their performance in our care as our primary physician has instilled confidence to value and depend on their treatment and diagnosis. They are always available and provide virtual access when needed. The physician network of specialists referrrd by Dr Martin has proven important to us. We are very pleased with our relationship with Dr. Martin.

care philosophy

I believe care must be based on an individual's needs.  To do this, one must spend time and get to know the patient.  Concierge medicine has allowed me to spend the amount of time I feel is appropriate to make comprehensive recommendations concerning patient care.

biography

I am interested in practicing medicine the way I was trained upon graduating medical school.  I believe in looking at patients individually and providing the care they need on a one-on-one basis.  Come and visit us at Legacy Health.
