Through the twenty or so years I have been coming to Dr. Martin, he has shown me more than courtesy. He has shown me by his actions and words that he cares about me as a person. I look at Doctor Martin as more than a doctor. I think of him as my friend. I have never had that feeling with any other physician who has treated me over my 77 years of breathing.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Martin
My story is inclusive! Frank Martin, Sr began as my doctor in January of 1977. He was a great doctor and a great man that cared for his patients with compassion and excellent health care. Frank Martin, Jr became my doctor when he joined his father in the practice. I have been his patient ever since. So, one could say I've had excellent health care for a very long time.

I presented to Dr Martin with very high blood pressure after a dental appointment. Frank and I grew up down the street from each other but I hadn’t been to see him professionally for 10 years probably. He had me in the office that day. I don’t like doctors (going to see them professionally) even though my father was an orthopedic surgeon and I was an orthopedic rep for a number of years. Frank… See more
Dr. Frank Martin, Jr, replaced his father in a family practice years ago. In all, I have seen Dr. Martin and Dr. Martin, Jr. for over 43 years. Dr. Martin is like family. He treats both me and my husband. We drive 35 miles to his practice because we wouldn't have it any other way. Time and time again, I am grateful for the excellent treatment. Two years ago, alone in a hotel room… See more
Don't have any specific story to tell but I can not say enough good things about Frank. They don't come any better than Frank!
2 years ago was playing golf in a member guest with my cousin out of town. I was hit by a golf cart which formed a large hematoma. Probably should have quit playing, but I finished. Was in severe pain. This was a Saturday and I was able to speak with Dr. Martin by phone and sent a picture. He advised me what do do and then followed me the following Monday.
I appreciate the MDVIP… See more

I started seeing him in October 2018 and was diagnosed with breast cancer within a month of being his patient. He was always very kind and attentive. He continues to be supportive as I have completed my one year of treatment. He always has a smile and listens to everything I have to say. I feel like he leaves no stone unturned when it comes to my care. I am grateful to be his patient.
I had an abdominal hernia for months. I was scheduled for surgery with a surgeon in Greenville SC and the risk pre-surgery was that my hernia could incarcerate. That is where the blood flow to the abdominal tissue or intestine becomes trapped in the sac of the hernia. It happened and within a couple of minutes I went from no pain to" on your knees " pain. My wife said lets call Dr.… See more
Over the years Dr. Martin has been more concerned about my heart than I am. I am. He is, to me, the epitome of a great physician. He cares about me and it shows. He was the one who detected my kidney cancer. He has helped me reduce my cholesterol level. He returns my calls and makes feel like he is genuinely concerned about my health. Dr. Martin is a fine man as well as a very good… See more
