Dr. Michael Martin has been my spine surgeon since 1994. He has done so much to try to keep my back as functional as possible after a work injury, followed by four years of denials for the needed surgical repair from an industrial insurance department, which he fought for with me all those years. When finally approval came, Dr. Martin was only able to try to stabilize the damage, some of which had become permanent. Five surgeries now all together, trying to keep pace with other bone and disk issues as they come along, and there is no one else I ever want working on my back. I have been so lucky to have had his help on this journey. I wish all doctors treated patients as respectfully as he does, too, by speaking with you as if you do have a brain in your head. I keep thinking we need to clone him so more people could also have one of the best spine surgeons in our area to help them. (And his PA Nick is a heck of a great guy himself.) I just keep telling them---You guys cannot retire until I am sure we are done working on my back! You are the only ones I want caring for mine. Thank you so much for all youve done for me.

After talking with Dr Martin for a few minutes describing my back pain he told me he believed I had a broken vertebra, failed previous surgery from another Dr. The CT scan confirmed it. He told me he could fix it and gave me time to overcome my fear of another surgery. To my delight he did a fusion and for the first time in over 20 years. I am pain free after three months of recovery. . God Bless you Dr Martin and your staff of amazing caring people.

The Drs are fine but every single time I come in here I wait for over an hour to be seen. My time is just as important as yours and it is very inconsiderate and unprofessional to run that late every single day.
