Not a thorough doctor. Had an appointment with him to discuss mental health and to be referred to a psychologist and he decided to diagnose me without me further explaining more symptoms that I was having. The over all feeling that I got from him is that I was wasting his time because he "knows what's going on and doesnt need any further explanation" and that he wanted me to get in and out as soon as possible. I get that doctors are busy and have tight schedules but I shouldn't feel like a burden about something I need help.

I am thoroughly satisfied with Dr. Martinez and would not see another doctor for my general needs. Very compassionate to my needs, and very thorough in listening and asking about my problems. The best benefit of seeing Dr. Martinez is that he is always punctual with his appointment times. I generally show up 20 minutes prior to my appointment time and am always called back before my appointment time and seen by him at my appointment time.

Dr Carter is a good listener and I know she cares about me and my family. I was in a car accident years ago and broke a bone in my back. The ER doctor and neurosurgeon told me all my pain was from my back but I knew something else was wrong. So I went to see my doctor She was very thorough, and after an x ray, found out that I broke my pelvis bone, too. That neurosurgeon kept apologizing after that! Dr Carter is getting too busy lately, but I don't want to see anyone else.

Dr. Carter's bedside manner is essentially nonexistent. I found her to be unfriendly, showing no empathy & unwilling to find alternatives for treatment! My overall feeling while in her care is one of laziness & that she was a C student in med school. (She's often absent, making it difficult to schedule an appt!) After 5+ yrs of being stuck with her, (thanks to insurance issues) I was finally able to see a new PCP. The new PCP was baffled by the lack of testing I'd undergone for my conditions.

Very unkind person. Isn't comfortable talking about much. Just wants to take your temperature and tell you to get out. Overly worried about liability to a paranoid fault.
