He was not very helpful with the 1st time I saw him considering I have it's been a long time since I had x-rays all my back and the severity of Martin considered that I had already been to physical therapy with no relief and the options that I was using he did not want to help me any further He wouldn't even offer to give me new X race or anything until I went to physical therapy he would not offer to do anything and said that I couldn't come back until I have at least did the physical therapy and I had not had x-rays in a while considering I had so much spent a total married 2 minutes with me I had no questions for him cause he knew The pain I was in and so I left after paying my $45 with no nothing

I don't feel it's appropriate to recommend doctors to people I don't know very well

He is courteous and efficient.
