Was very impressed that Dr Martin did not want to do anything unless he had a pretty good handle on what was going on. He is very carful, thoughtful and cautious. I am astounded he spent as much time examining me at first visit as he did. He truly does care about his patients and I am BLESSED to be counted among them. Thanks Dr Martin.
Dr Martin saved my life. I had pain in my back but he wanted to check my neck. Thank God he did. He found the my C6 was pushed into my spinal column. He had to remove the C6. Surgery was to be approx 2 hours but ended up being 5 hours. I have nothing but Great praise for him. It is taking me longer to recover but I am getting there. I have already recommended Dr Martin to 3 of my friends.
Explained why he procedure must take place and also went over the options if I did not get surgery. Staff was very courteous and knowledgeable in every aspect of their job.
It was easy to get an appointment. My MRI was explained to me in detail as was the procedure needed to correct the problem. The results were very favorable. I would recommend Dr. Martin and Phoenix Spine to anyone needing back surgery. I can walk now without having to sit every 5 min., and cook and do dishes without taking breaks to ease the pain in my back. Phoenix Spine and Dr. Martin have given me a new lease on life. Thank you Dr. Martin and the staff at Phoenix Spine.
My whole experience from when I first met Dr. Martin and we decided to do surgery, until after the surgery was very positive. The hospital was wonderful and the only negative that I would say is that the surgery instead of taking 45 minutes ended up being over two hours. That was unexpected and no fault of Dr. Martin, just unexpected complications. However, my husband was very concerned. When I went into surgery, they had told him that they would keep notify him when the surgery started, half way through and when it was all done. That did not happen and he was very anxious not knowing what was going on.
Somestimes doe not let me finish what I am saying and I cannot ask a question until he is finished with what he is saying. Not very timely but gives all the time I need when he is with me. Time before surgery was good.
