Dr. Akin was very specific about what he Was going to do during my leg surgery. He was very professional yet had a good bedside manner, and was personality.

Review for Dr. Church

WILLIAM MARTIN is corrupt. Not only is he prejudiced and discriminatory against people facing mental health conditions and disorders, he is a LIAR. He has lied in my chart to make me appear as a patient that demanded medication and became agitated and combative when he refused to treat me. LIES....

Review for Dr. Martin

Due to PSVT, an echo and stress test was ordered and completed in early February 2024. I have emailed his office and have left messages twice asking where we go from here, and I have not had a response yet as of March 18, 2024. I'm very disappointed in Dr. Coly's lack of concern and follow-up.
