    This was my first appointment with Dr. Martin during my pregnancy but I wish I had been able to meet with him earlier on! He was great, took a lot of care in going over information with me, and answered all my questions thoroughly.

    Dr Martin made me feel safe, was great at explaining everything and it was overall a great experience. Which is not what I would have thought after getting surgery to remove an organ. I have never felt safe going to a male OBBGYN but Dr. Martin made me feel safer then female OBGYN that I have seen In the past. If I had another surgery that was needed I would not want anyone else but Dr. Martin to do it. He is a very good doctor that I would recommend to anyone.

    Dr Martin did a fantastic job, especially being cognizant of trauma and autism. It was the first time I was able to manage my PTSD so well in a doctor's visit, because Dr Martin and his team actually made it possible for me.
