David Martin's Online Review Report Card

Everything about my appointment didn't feel right. From the Waiting Room to leaving, I can't place my finger on it but this review is supposed to be on Dr. Martin only so here it is. I was very unimpressed with Dr. Martin. I came in with a situation I had never experienced before with my nose and after telling my story I felt like he already knew what was wrong, what to do going forward and my prescriptions. All within less than a minute. He did do an internal exam, but I felt he already made up his mind what he was going to prescribe. He was in a hurry. When I arrived at the Exam Room I noticed a Doctor talking to what I believed to be an office worker but it did not seem to be a serious discussion. This was right outside the door of the Exam Room. I waited maybe 4 minutes and when the doctor came in, that's when I realized that doctor was Dr. Martin. Bottom line is, after a week of the meds that Dr. Martin prescribed, my issue did not go away. I was not going to call him back and decided my situation wasn't bad enough compared to dealing with Dr. Martin again. Main observations: Seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere Didn't listen. After reading the One Star Rating on Yelp for Dr. Martin, I am so happy I didn't continue seeing him. We briefly discussed Nose surgery for a Deviated Septum but after reading his reviews, he's not going anywhere near my nose ever again!

This is the kindest most knowledgeable Ent man! He squeezed me in at the blast moment and wound up with the worst sinus infection and flu I ever had! He knew the right medicine to give me and although I have multiple sclerosis Parkinson's disease cancer and kidney disease and am 86 he understood when I had to cancel last minute due to stomach problems. What a wonderful doctor. His nurse Christine is also very kind also. I think he saved my life as I am allergic to the flu shot and he broke the infection! Dr Joyce Kishineff

Dr. David Martin is an excellent, caring and meticulous physician. The office staff is a nice, friendly and efficient group of people. I had an earache before the weekend and they were able to make time and get me on short notice. Not only did they say they would try and accommodate me, they called me and told me to come in and advised me to be aware that there was construction in the area that might make it is a little difficult to navigate the street. I have been a patient here for many years, and it because Dr. Martin, and the other physicians in the office as well, are excellent practitioners .

Dr. Martin was friendly and efficient with getting my ears cleared! I'm a swimmer and use swimming ear plugs, using them often eventually causes blockages and some swimmers ear if I don't use solution every time (lazy). Dr. Martin was able to check my ears and vacuum the blockage out within 10 minutes. Front desk was nice as well but they're very tech friendly sending by text/email check in forms so you don't need to fill them out in office. Handy! Parking is paid, but there's PLENTY of free street parking as the medical building is located in a public parking friendly neighborhood since it's adjacent to the highway. Otherwise, parking is about $2.50/hour or so (possible /20minutes).

Thankful to the staff for their good service and Dr. Martin Who was graceful, professional and helped me get rid of the issue I was having in my thyroid.

I was referred to Dr. Martin for my 8 year old daughter. First, he rushed me through my reason in being at his office. He determined she was not a good candidate based on facts and not my specific situation. He then proceeded to state all of the complications of having a Tonsillectomy such as "excessive bleeding" IN FRONT of my daughter which made her cry. Then took her into a room which instead of doing a ear lavage, used scraping tools to clean her ears. This was not the reason we came to see him and he traumatized my daughter. All in all. THE WORST EXPERIENCE especially as a parent. I do not recommend this doctor if you are looking for someone to actually care about your child's specific situation. Not to mention the parking is awful. His office has zero updated equipment. I work along side doctors and other physicians, he was by far the worst Doctor I've met. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. goktE2-nazwar-zumzot

I was referred to see Dr. David Martin from my Medical Group about 8 months ago, for stridor and trouble breathing. I have a history of this problem, and have had surgery on my throat many years ago; but the problem has come back. This was a urgent visit that my medical group had set up for me. Well Dr. Martin was very rushed, and did a larngoscopy, to look down my throat in the office; and told me he didn't see anything wrong. I felt very rushed and the Dr. didn't explain anything to me, just hurry, hurry, and get me out the door. Well since then, my symptoms had continued, and I recently had a ct. scan of my neck from another ENT; and sub-glottic stenosis, a narrowing in my airway was found, along with some thyroid nodules. I will now be going to USC for future surgery on this problem. So next time Dr. Martin, I hope you take more time with your patient's and not miss important diagnosis, like you did with me.

I saw Dr. Martin for a problem I had with my ear. I was very comfortable with him. He seemed open and knowledgeable, and I never felt rushed. If he did not know something he would say so. He encouraged me to contact him if, in the future, I had a question or if an issue arose.

Dr. Martin to the rescue! Wow - I cannot speak highly enough about my recent experience with him. I was visiting Los Angeles recently and had a (minor) nasal issue. I did a quick search on Yelp and sure enough found this gem! From the moment I got there, everything was spectacular. The waiting rooms were as clean as could be, several COVID safety protocols were enforced and the entire process was so quick/seamless. I highly recommend if you are in the greater Los Angeles area in need of an ENT to check out Dr. Martin! From the moment I entered the examination room, Dr. Martin made me feel safe, comfortable and really took his time in explaining his solutions. 5 star experience!

Unfortunately I have to agree with past bad reviewers. Yes I did read the bad reviews before going into surgery with Dr. Martin to straighten my nose and I still took my chances. He also charged an additional $1,500 for nose bone straightening which is not covered by plan. ( Like a previous reviewer says she paid additional $2,000) My nose is still curved the exact same way! Like another reviewer said one side is sticking out more than the other. I kid you not its like he took a drill and tried to straighten the bones by shaving from the sides instead of breaking and re adjusting the bones to make them straight like he said he would. I can also feel an indentation like box like from a straight drill. I requested my money back but he said he did do the surgery so... end of conversation, that was it for now. I also requested to start antibiotics prior to surgery to prevent an infection he insisted it will not be needed. 12 days after my surgery Im starting to develop an infection. Again, he said he doubts it was an infection. I guess maybe he just prefers to wait for it to get infected instead of preventing. I didn't want to doubt him but I knew I should've been more persistent about antibiotics. Another note, I also was a little worried and concerned I went into surgery without him taking pictures of my nose and really looking at it and studying what he will need to fix on my nose. I wanted to trust him thinking he knows. Just was not worth all the pain I went through after surgery for my nose to be the same. I also couldn't breathe on the right side now I have not been able to breathe on the left side. I should've just left my nose alone and saved me that lost time and money. My nose is not going to magically straighten itself in 6-12 months that's a fact lol He just wants to drag it to see if you forget about it and go away. No sir, it's my nose and my money. At least I have to say he didn't leave my nose worst he left it the same just took my money. He also suggested going back in while Im awake and shave a little more to straighten it. I will be updating this review. I prefer to have my money back, my nose is the same and Im afraid he really ends up ruining it. He also said it's silly of me to think its going to look straight right now because he says the bone is still swollen from surgery. Yeah ok lol . I still need to make a final decision on what to do next. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to see photos. I cannot recommend Dr. Martin for surgeries. He might be ok in other areas I don't know. And yes he does get annoyed like other reviewers say, you can feel it.
