Dr. Douglas Wayne Martin, MD

Knows his stuff

Understood my condition and explained everything about it. I have seen 5 other physicians who were clueless. I understand that this guy is a tough cookie in court and a lot of people whom he has examined give him bad reviews because of their court outcomes. But, his medical knowledge and ability to explain things is unsurpassed.

Probably one of the most unintelligent human beings I've ever come across in my life. This guy knows very little about injury and the best way for the human body to recover from an injury. It was all to apparent that after 3 visits and no success and still in extreme pain that he had no idea what to do. The best advise I can give you is call a lawyer before you go see this clown. Called three different lawyers and as soon as I said this idiots name they all wanted a shot at him. In my opinion he should be investigated and behind bars.

I've never met a doctor that has less experience than this one. I seriously believe that if he had a brain he would take it out and play with it. The insurance company is filling his pockets so he does as little as possible. I would never recommend this so called Dr to anyone.

I found Dr Martin to be rude, condescending and formed an opinion of me before we even spoke about my issues. Too many "professional" Doctors out there. No need to "settle" for Dr Martin. You can do better.

Dr Martin seemed hesitant to actually talk about the scenario that led to my injury. His report reflected that we had discussed the dates of my injury and that he was confused that the dates I gave him didn't line up with the dates he was provided by insurance company. We never discussed dates at any point during my appointment and the confusion between dates had already been resolved in my case. That makes this man a liar.

Misdiagnosed by this jerk for several months, he treated tendonitis instead of the dislocated joint, leading to permanent damage. He is not looking out for the best interest of the patient, he is clearly looking out for the companies that line his pockets.

All the personality, charm, and compassion of a garden slug. Remember, he works for the insurance company.... his job is not to help you get better... it's to save the insurance company money. The best advice I can offer is, get a lawyer who specializes in work comp, and who doesn't charge a fee unless you get a settlement. You'll be glad you did.

Dr. Martin tries so hard to prove how smart he is that it becomes clear he is self-conscious and not very bright. If you question anything he says, he literally pouts like a small child. Stay away!

Takes the time to expalin things in a way a patient can understand.He did not make me feel rushed in anyway at all. I saw him in Orange City with a work comp case.He and his nurse were awesome to deal with.The nurse was super nice. I would see him again if needed.

Dr. Martin is paid by companies to see you and return you to work NOW, without restriction or limitation regardless of medical need. His rationale is his claimed 117 Medical Journal articles that clearly indicate you will heal better at work, even with a head injury. Therefore, he prescribes medications that will not actually relieve your pain/inflamation/nausea because then he would have to allow you time to rest and recover. He will not refer to a specialist after three visits for the same issue. Understand, he must keep your company happy and reduce/eliminate their need to pay workman's comp claims or he will lose his contract. The ER docs were appalled at the "treatment" he provided per his own records which I was carrying with me 24/7 in case of additional crisis. Recognize you are forced to deal with him as part of your claim, document everything, take a witness if you can and GET A DOCTOR WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT YOU FOR A REAL OPINION ASAP.

This occupational medicine doctor knows more about my orthopedic condition than the orthopedic specialist I saw prior.
