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.

Did not seem to care or want to put in any effort. Honestly, this doctor seems pretty burnt out.

I would never recommend this physician. He is hard to reach, disinterested, rigid and doesn't follow through. If you have a serious problem, you might risk your health here. I wouldn't go near this guy. HELP!! He is dismissive and has no bedside manner whatsoever. Not sure of his skills because I haven't seen any. Very brusque and impatient. Almost sounds irritated with having to listen to your problem.

Better than the first visit. More personable, warm. Doesn't do any handholding or chit chat but seems to be very competent and reliable.

Dr. Does not communicate with patients. Long wait times. No follow up for test results. Clueless front desk folks.

Dr. Martinez is a great doctor. He always makes me feel very comfortable even though going to the doctors office is usually very difficult for me. I have known him for several years and would recommend him to anyone! He is very personable and friendly to his patients and to his staff. He is a very busy doctor but always makes me feel like he values my time.
