    Dr. Martin was very compassionate, understanding the fact that, you know, I just - with everything going on, it's just alarming and he understood that so I mean, I appreciate the call, the telehealth, because you know, there's a lot of fear going on with me and I thank him.

    Prefer face to face but understand why its nearly impossible at this time. Front office staff behave more professionally when a coworker is on the phone with a patient.

    The use of medical teleconsultation is excellent.


  • Aug 20, 20
    Verified Patient

    Dr. Martin really listens to me. He always seems to be aware of what we've discussed previously and I really appreciate his knowledge of new therapies on the horizon for Multiple Sclerosis. Until Dr. Martin joined Southcoast, there were NO doctors that were knowledgable about Multiple Sclerosis. Each time I came for an appointment with a neurologist, prior to the arrival of Dr. Martin, they asked why I was seeing them, because they said they were not qualified to see someone with Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Martin is excellent!!!!! Please do whatever you can to keep him, until he retires, and then please be sure to have him actively involved in his replacement.

    Dr. Martin and his staff are absolutely wonderful, however, there so very few urologist in the area of South Coast Hospital that that it is very very very hard to get an appointment when one would like it and often the waiting time is 6 months or more. That's something I would like to see change so that one can see a neurologist, Dr. Martin, or any of his colleagues obviously, in a more timely fashion. Thank you.

    This was my first appointment with Dr. Martin, and I can say without a doubt that he is the most kind, knowledgeable, and poised medical professional I’ve gotten to work with. He has wonderful “bedside” manner, attending to concerns during my appointment with care, while also providing me with information. He is incredibly thorough, explains things well, and encourages patients to be active in their treatment. I cannot commend him highly enough for his professionalism and devotion to the profession; I’d highly recommend him as a neurologist.

    Verified Patient

    I tried several times to call into the office to confirm my appointment/return calls and was on hold for a lengthy period of time and eventually the system hinges up on me, then I left a message in a general mailbox, and when the staff called they said to me "we've called and left several messages and you haven't returned any of our calls". In times where you have an increase call volume you need to make adjustment and have more people and telephone lines available.

    I continue to be very impressed by the staff at this office. They are always totally helpful and professional. I think Dr. Martin is the best. Always available (by phone and email), friendly, caring and helpful. He makes me feel like he really cares about me and my issues. I just wish south coast could clone him so we did not have to wait so long for appointments. I think the entire staff at that office deserves to be commended for their attitudes and customer service.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
