    Dr. Martin was extremely caring, obviously exceptionally competent, and completely explained what was to be done and why. He told me the potential problems and explained the provisions made for any difficulties. Made me feel totally comfortable with the procedure.To Dr. Martin; Thank you for your caring and ability. Thank you for allowing me to pray in the operating room. You and your team made this a great experience. (I know, hard to believe, but the only discomfort was that long needle in the thigh.)

    This was my first appointment with Dr. Martin and had had all of my records sent to him prior to my visit. He had obviously looked at my history and recent monitor results before meeting me but let me explain my concerns related to my heart. We discussed my current medications and possible alternatives thoroughly, both positives and negatives, before he let me decide In a plan. I felt that he really listened to me! I finally felt relieved after my appointment. Since my appointment, I have made the changes we discussed, and my pulse and blood pressure have been within the normal ranges. It was a very beneficial trip for me!!! I will strongly recommend him to others!!!
