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.

Informative, took all the time needed for questions and answers. Very caring about my concerns.

Dr Martin and her team where great during my recent surgical procedure ! From the initial visit her team explained everything to ease my mind and concerns! Her Nursing staff especially Samantha Rowe where helpful throughout my experience in UVA! Samantha followed up with me after! Dr Martin and her surgical team where professionals, compassionate, and understanding! Samantha went beyond to help me with my crazy short term disability paperwork ! The best part is I no longer have the problem I had prior to surgery ! Thank you to a great team!

Dr. Linda Martin in today’s medical world is truly a diamond in the rough. Where most doctors are in a hurry and honestly don’t have time to answer questions her compassion for what she does and her passion for her patients shine through. She took the time to explain every step of the pre surgery treatment, the surgery and post-surgery treatment in detail with not only me but with my family and care givers. Her and her staff were always available to answer questions or assist in you or your care

wonderful doctor. I suffered for years until she operated on me. I was without pain from a 4 hour surgery and my recovery was so fast. I am a new person because of Dr. Martin. Thank you very much.
