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.

Killed my son… started overprescribing opioids and when he was hospitalized 2 years ago he dropped my son as a patient. Left him addicted with no recourse or resources. Will be prosecuted ! I won’t allow another mother to go through this. He’s a criminal!!!!

He's the BEST!
I have been going to Dr. Martin for over twenty years now. He is by far the finest physician I have ever known. He is caring and makes a significant effort in staying informed of new development in family medicine. I would never consider going to any other family doctor.

Absolutely awesome
I have had a number of Health Practitioners over my short 54 years on this earth. Dr. Martin continues to exceed my expectations. Not only is he a professional, but also, he meets you on your level and takes the time to review all of the tests, procedures and plans with you.Dr. Martin is involved in the process and is legitimately concerned about you as a person, not just as a patient. I'm glad that a client of mine got me in front of him.

Highly respected, professional, knowledgeable
Dr. Martin's MDVIP practice provides the answers to all of the frustrations we are subjected to these days. His team is always informed, professional and friendly. Dr. Martin and his team focus on you, the individual client; each of us has unique needs and conditions. There is no bureaucracy bogging down your health communications and coordinations. There is no loss of coordination, nor unreturned phone calls, from the huge conglomerates and their federally subsidizing buddies who have their own agendas. The peace of mind, and the kind, personal care Dr. Martin and his team provide is a welcome relief.

Best medical care in Columbia
Dr Martin and his staff are always kind and responsive. I’m able to see or speak with him when I need to, and I get in and out of my appts on time which is extremely important to me as well. Yesterday I went in for a 7:30 am appt for a physical, was taken back right at 7:30 and walked out from a full physical at 8 am in time to drop my kids off at school. I love Dr Martin and MDVIP and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants comprehensive medical care in addition to timeliness and convenience.

Best Ever!
You actually have a name here, not a number. Dr. Martin is personable and a great listener. He doesn’t jump to a conclusion before you have finished talking. He asks intuitive questions. He is up to date and open to new treatments. I am so lucky to have him as a doctor.
