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.

Very kind and respectful. As an trans person, finding affirming care can be very challenging, but I felt very comfortable from the minute the appointment began.

It's never easy for a trans man to visit a GYN office but Dr. Martin and team treated me with respect and dignity. I completely trust Dr. Martin with my healthcare and dignity.

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.

Dr. Martin answered all of my questions. He offered a referral to another provider to better help with my condition.
