I went in (well, limped in, really) to see Dr Martin at his surgery last month following sudden back pain, and found him to be an extremely thoughtful and caring doctor - and, above all, genuinely helpful! He went through all my symptoms and did a thorough check - I've seen doctors before, even privately, who just seem to want to make the quickest, easiest diagnosis they can with the least work involved, but he was totally engaged. Even better, when he made his diagnosis (slipped disk), he actually explained exactly what was happening and how that was causing my various symtoms, why he was prescribing me the drugs AND he also was able to give me a referral to a physiotherapist and an MRI!! I was really worried that I would just be given the 'wait and see if it improves on its own', or, even worse, be shooed off as a time-waster, but Dr Martin could not have been more helpful. Listened carefully, investigated thoroughly and sent me away with a sound treatment plan - and peace of mind too! I'm happy to report 2 months later, my condition has much improved and the pain and numbness have almost totally gone. Thank you Dr Martin!!!
