Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He was checking the status of my macular degeneration and found that it had not progressed. He and his staff were quick and professional at preparing and observing my eyes. Good and comfortable meeting

His associates took pictures so I will get results on my next visit. Dr. Martinez seemed very nice and came highly recommended to me so I am looking forward to working with him to FIX my eyes. Also, it is nice seeing his picture of face here as I did not see much of it in person. He looked like he had been on a space flight.

Dr Martinez has been treating my Wet AMD for the past three years along with a retina practice in Lexington KY due to my travel schedule.
He is an excellent communicator and is skilled in his work.
I know I’m fortunate to have him treating me.
