David Martincheck's Online Review Report Card

This was my experience with Dr. Martincheck. Dr. Martincheck performed a spinal cord stimulator trial on me probably around 2018. The trial was performed in the back of his office and there was no equipment to guarantee proper placement of the leads. I was not sedated at all. Dr. Martincheck did give me two pills to take prior to this “procedure”, unfortunately the pills did nothing for me as well as the shots in my back that he administered. The lead was inserted in my back and then pushed up my spine to a spot somewhere in my back. The only problem is I felt the lead hitting every nerve on my spine. I thought I had already experienced the worst pain in my life, this “procedure” proved me wrong. The only person to ask me if I’m okay was the nurse. After the trial was over, Dr. Martincheck removed the lead and I was out of there. I did use his office once so a representative from Boston Scientific could adjust my implanted spinal cord stimulator. Dr. Martincheck made it a point to interrupt this appointment and stick his nose in. Dr. Martincheck had no business with the appointment, his work was done long ago. Dr. Martincheck looked at me and actually said “so you planning on getting off pain pills now”. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in my right lower extremity. For a medical professional to say that to a patient is extremely damaging to a patient’s mental state especially when the patient’s history is not even known. Dr. Martincheck is just one more doctor who failed me, and even worse Dr. Martincheck didn’t believe me and in the end just looked at me as a drug seeker.

I have been going to Dr. Martincheck for many many years. I travel almost 4 hours round trip to go to him every month because he listens to me, treats me with compassion and has helped me more than any other Dr. I have been to for my back and neck pain. Every time I see him he shakes my hand, sits down, leans in and gives me his full attention as we discuss my pain levels and any options for minimizing my discomfort. I feel like he is fully present and that counts for a lot when dealing with such a difficult situation. His staff have always been wonderfully kind, caring, efficient and sympathetic as well.

I would never recommend Dr. Martincheck to anyone! Friendly at first but after eight painful spinal injections he walks away without saying a word! My words are never again. The injections did nothing for my pain!

Dr. Martincheck was the 4th doctor I saw. No one took me seriously. He believed me that my nerve pain was terrible. Turns out I have 3 bulging disc. He treated me and I am in way less pain, hopefully on my way to zero pain. His staff is the Best!! I will definitely see him again if necessary.

The best pain doctor I’ve been to. He actually listens without judging you.

Dr. Martin check is amazing, the staff except the office manager and Tamara could be more friendly. Now the new NP...well no comment . I miss seeing my Dr. I wish I didn't have to see the NP all the time. Overall great pain management clinic!

Please get another front desk person.. Everytime I bring my mom she is so rude .I hate that my mom has chosen this place for her pain problems..

I went to Dr Martincheck he is one of the very best pain management Dr . He is a kind , will listen to you and advise you on the best treatment to help relieve your pain. His staff is wonderful too!

I met with Dr. Martincheck on one occasion. I had severe pain from sciatic nerve damage. I waited a week for the appointment suffering pain throughout the week. Dr. Martincheck seemed quite nice. He referred me to get an MRI. He asked me to call the day after the MRI so that we could develop a treatment strategy. I called daily for four days and he did not return my call. The nurse told me that ...

Referred me for a MRI with instructions for me to call he for results and to develop a treatment plan. as instructed, I called, and called and called. While I confirmed that he had the MRI results, he would not return my call. Dr. Martincheck, YOURE FIRED!!!
