Dr. Martin is the rudest doctor I have ever saw. He shows no compassion to patients. The nurses was even speaking bad about him.

good surgeon, not so good bed side manner.he's done surgery on me 3 times. I like him and get along fine with him. but do hear people don't like his personality. He did a good job of putting my feet back on my legs. And I still can walk. If you wanna buddy he may not be for you but if you need a good surgeon hes the one for you. Just give additude back and I believe he'll be the one for you.
