Dr. Joseph Martin, MD

Mercy health providers are very caring

Dr Martin was excellent

Dr Martin explained my condition and needed surgery to me in terms that were easily understood. He was kind and compassionate.

Dr. Martin is always professional and personable. His care is exceptional.

Very quick and very helpful. My surgery went very quickly and on my way to my easy recovery.

This doctor did 3 procedures on 2 of my family members. Two of the three he thoroughly messed up. He did a colon resection on one and "knicked" a uredor. Dr. Cory said he would not do a type of surgery without putting a stent in the uredor before that procedure. Then he performed a gallbladder surgery and then once again cut an artery and Bilal duct to the liver. NEVER go to this guy if you care about the person you are sending!

Very pleased with Dr Martin, explained every detail & that he would also recommend the same to his family members. Felt very comfortable in my decision.

Patient went for feed tube. In hurry, doc had a wedding. Leaked like crazy. Doc said normal. Got worse. New tube put in, every time flush it comes out other old hole, did not close that one right, had to go in third time for surgery. Went to ER, said don't have time to fix today. Contacted patient advocate, and director of surgeons. doc comes into patients hospital room yells at patient because got reprimanded. Patient had cancer, so was 6 weeks behind on chemo because of careless mistakes. Patient was dying, went to doc for follow up, wanted him to take out port and tube. Never would have made thru surgery at this point. Doc says yes I'll do it. He is wheeled outside while I am to set up appointment. Doc tells me he doesn't really want to do it, but I have to tell him that. I am already taking care of patient for year and a half watching him dying and doc puts that on me. Patient did die. One month later patients son goes to ER, weekend night with his appendix. Only surgeon Martin.… The son and the mother both say DO NOT GIVE OPIATES FOR PAIN. On probation for drug addiction etc. Doc gives them to him in hospital and sends home with script, it gets filled, patient takes every one. Gave taste of opiates again after clean for year. When both patient and mother said DO NOT! 2 months later son dies. Drug overdose!
