Dr. James Thomas Martin, MD

I was going there for 4 months got pretty much kicked out for not wanting to deliver at the location they were serving at... they are after your money only and not a care in the world telling people some tests are free and later you will be slapped with 600$ bill because oops they made a mistake! When I told the doctor I had uti he told me to rinse it with baking soda.... no pills no suggestions just awful experience

Dr Martin was my knight in shining armor after multiple bad experiences with another OB/GYN. Dr Martin has done roughly 6 surgeries on me from a tubal ligation to a partial hysterectomy. I have never been as happy with a doctor who was caring AND professional as Dr Martin. Becki has been my P.A. for standard check ups and my heart hurts that she has retired, but she is so deserving. If Dr Martin was in surgery or unavailable Mrs Becki was. I’ve seen 5 gynecologists locally having issues with them all until Dr Martin. Thanks for the many many years of loyal care ??

I appreciate Dr. Martin for the lap ablation he performed for me when I was initially diagnosed with Endometriosis/ Adenomyosis, but I do not appreciate the negative commentary that was written on my records by some of the women there (Rebecca Miller) , nor do I believe that this office has a lot of compassion for black women or people who suffer with crippling Endometriosis/Adenomyosis pain. They literally called me “overly dramatic” in my records (they had the AUDACITY to actually type that - completely insulting... I couldn't believe how ignorant & inconsiderate that was) I remember being prescribed an antidepressant once by Martha Green just because I was crying IN extreme DEEP SEATED PAIN and frustration from endometriosis, and the little concern they were showing, as well as BANDAID options they were giving. They also weren’t informative enough about the RISKS of taking birth control to treat Endometriosis either WHICH IS MALPRACTICE. When I chose to opt into the Lap they… suggested I have immediately (emergency surgery was the language they used), it was an uninformed decision. He only removed the Endometriosis he could see which was understandable, however I don’t appreciate the fact that I wasn’t informed about all of my options (even outside of what he is qualified to do - in terms of ablation versus excision) Also, after I began to heal from that surgery, I noticed a lump (A bulge) on top of my belly button, and when I asked about it the nurse practitioner (Martha Green) just brushed it off and said it would go away on it’s own. That bulge is still there to this day. A good doctor who is passionate about his patients should inform the patient of ALL possibilities, and golden treatments for whatever they’re dealing with. He didn’t remove all of my rectovaginal endometriosis (which has been the most painful before and after surgery) and now I suffer with inordinate crippling pain because it has gotten way worse due to it never getting treated properly. Had they informed me of everything I needed to know (such as ablation versus excision), I wouldn’t be facing a more invasive surgery soon. Also they have ridiculous rules and regulations that do not always serve people in a positive way. I wanted to leave this here to provide perspective for any other black 20 something who is just trying to manage & live a normal life. I’d take my chances elsewhere, your quality of life matters more than anything. You want to be adequately helped.. NOT just picked for your coins & dismissed when you have LEGITIMATE concerns or can’t make a few appointments due to being unpredictably debilitated by a disease you didn’t ask for... or being dismissed from the practice because you are ultimately concerned about your health and want the best care possible. They literally told me they didn’t have my records when I first requested them, I had to tell the rep “my mother saw the records from surgery with her naked eye - you have them” then the woman placed me on a brief hold & finally got my records to me in the mail soon after. Chronically ill people don’t need a hard time when they’re just trying to manage & get help. Shoutout to all the endometriosis sufferers...especially women with crippling pain... who get hassled and dismissed for being late, for canceling, because their health prevents them & feel like jerks because of it. You’re not over dramatic, unreliable and “chronically noncompliant” - YOUR DISEASE IS. Shoutout to the doctors and practitioners who ACTUALLY care and DO EVERYTHING that they can (including being warm & positive) to help the patient instead of writing that their patient is overly dramatic on their progress note. I guess everyone else with crippling endometriosis is being overly dramatic too, right? The inept individual who put that on my record doesn't even deserve to be in the position she is in. I'm disgusted and traumatized by my experience here. I have since moved on to a better OBGYN, Endometriosis Specialists (out of state) & naturopathic doctors. Sayonara!

Don't waste your time going to this doctor. He performed surgery on me and as soon as I woke up he said he had to urgently leave to go to another hospital to deliver a baby. Meanwhile I had to wait for nearly 2 hours before he finally came back to discharge me and gave me no pain meds while I waited and no prescribed no pain meds either. My incisions got infected and I had a horrible rash all over the incision areas that had spread all over my belly as well as my arm (which was odd). When I called thier office as the post-op instructions said to do, he just told his nurse that he refused to see me and that I should go to the ER. I can't afford the copay for an ER visit and I told them that and they said, "well there's nothing we can do for you at this point". What a horrible thing to say to a patient who is reaching out to the very doctor that performed the surgery! Don't ever waste your time seeing this doctor. Oh and the staff at the facility where I had my surgery said they felt he… needed to retire because over the past couple of years he's always late and never gets in on time to make the early morning surgeries. They also said he has a very poor bedside manner which I witnessed first hand. My surgery was scheduled for 8am and I didn't get out of there until almost noon because of his lateness to getting to the surgical facility and then his leaving to go to another hospital to deliver a baby (meanwhile I was laying in the bed in pain and suffering)! Don't waste your time seeing this doctor. He still couldn't determine why I'm having the pains that I'm having even after doing the exploratory laparoscopy surgery!

I have been a patient of Dr. Martin for over 30 years. He and his staff have always given me the best of care. He saw me through 2 pregnancies as well as other concerns with a true interest in me. My first born, now grown, is also a patient of Dr. Martin and we have the utmost confidence in him.
