    Hi, my name is [Name] [Name] I'm a patient of Dr. Martin's. I love Dr. Martin, his office and staff is very courteous and timely. When they say they're gonna call, they're going to call. I had a teleconference with Dr. Martin and he is just wonderful. Sadly, I it doesn't take your office doesn't take my insurance. and I don't know what I'm going to do after this. But I've had them for many years. Dr. Martin you are wonderful, if anybody's listening. He is a very kind compassionate doctor and I just love him and I hope to have them for many years to come. 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.

    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.

    Dr. Martin took his time which I’m sure is frowned upon business wise, but his patients are blessed to have him. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring and informative. He goes above and beyond to make sure his patients do not fall through the cracks. Can not sing his praises enough!


  • Nov 3, 19
    Verified Patient

    I know it looks like I just quickly checked off all the "Yes" answers, but every time I have visited, the receptionists, techs and all staff have been polite and helpful. They went out of their way to provide me with a special form I needed, which saved me a lot of running around. As for Dr. Martin, I don't think that I have the vocabulary to express how superb a physician he is. He's a true healer. He has stuck with my problem, terrible headaches every day for 10 years, and finally we have made progress. He is not arrogant and had me go to [Name] neurologists, but none could help and they gave up. Not Dr. Martin. He listens, he thinks, he helps. I never feel rushed. I am 74 years old and have been to doctors in 3 countries. He is the best! It is only his determination not to give up that prevented me from giving up and gaining a better quality of life. I would, and have, followed him anywhere. He cares. I feel as though I am his only patient or his most important patient and that we will continue to make progress to diminish these wretched headaches. You are fortunate to have him on board at Southcoast Health Neurology!

    Dr. Martin is a rare find because he really listens to and provides medical advice that respects my choices as a partner in my care. He thoroughly discusses medication options and takes my opinion into consideration. He wants his care to help improve the quality of my life; he doesn’t just go through perfunctory motions and send me off with meds. He is truly a health care provider values his patients. It doesn’t feel like a medical mill as some offices do. I used to drive to [Name] to be treated by him, so I was thrilled when he moved to the area. Thank you for adding such a thoughtful, thorough practitioner to SouthCoast.

    Hello. I was greeted very politely when I came to the front desk. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Martin per usual with him. He is a fantastic doctor who I appreciate the opinion of very much. He takes the time to explain things very thoroughly and descriptively so that I could understand everything that he's trying to say, and I would honestly recommend this neurologist to people that are having a similar issue or other issues that he handles, because he is honestly pretty awesome. But I thank you for taking the time to listen to me talk about it, and I hope that you guys have a great weekend. Thank you so much and goodbye.

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.
