    Dr. Martin was very, very thorough. There were several issues pertaining to my situation right now involving bell's palsy and taste I'm having a tough time with and several other issues. He addressed each one individually. Took time, explained it thoroughly. I felt very, very comfortable with him. A doctor that I haven't felt comfortable with in a long, long time. I look forward to working with him. He understands my situation. He understands how I feel about going through an MRI. He's dedicated to working with me on that and we're looking forward to work with Dr. Martin. I'm so glad I met him. Thank you very much.

    Very short wait time - they had extra staff in foyer taking temps and doing screening questions which is great during COVID. I was seen very quickly and the staff was very friendly and professional. I have been a patient of Dr. Martin for years and followed him from another practice so I have nothing but good things to say about 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.

  • 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.

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.
