Dr. Martin is very informative and helpful when guiding us through our daughter’s milestones. He has provided a variety of well informed options for us to try when we had questions about allergies, illnesses, sleep training, nutrition, and behaviors. We appreciate his guidance.

While doctor was friendly and knowledgeable I feel like he didn’t really listen to my concerns. This was a walk in appointment for an infant who has had the same symptoms for almost a week. While it may have been a minor diagnosis I would at least like to feel heard instead of brushed off with statistics thrown at me.

The doctor seem very insensitive and like he was rushing through my child's appointment. However the ladies at the front desk and the medical assistant were very nice. I was just meeting doctor Martin for the first time and I will not be taking my child back to him. He seemed very judgmental asking why I didn't get my child evaluated sooner but I didn't see a problem with his progress until 2 1/2 almost 3 years old. Dr Martin was shaking his head as he talked to me like shame on you. Then the resources he wrote down no longer do medical evaluations and he didn't give me specific numbers just the names of the places.
