I prac­tice patient-cen­tered care and believe that patients are bet­ter served by a sym­bi­ot­ic rela­tion­ship with their providers. I try to pro­vide patients with as much edu­ca­tion as pos­si­ble on their diag­no­sis so we can decide on the cor­rect treat­ment course togeth­er. Pelvic floor recon­struc­tion, pro­lapse, incon­ti­nence and void­ing dys­func­tion are com­plex issues that many patients are embar­rassed to talk about despite the large toll these symp­toms have on qual­i­ty of life. My goal as a female pelvic med­i­cine and recon­struc­tive surgery physi­cian is to pro­vide a safe space for patients to dis­cuss these issues and deliv­er top notch sur­gi­cal treatment.

"Dr. Martin had a lot of energy. She clearly is highly intelligent and knows what she is doing. Despite this, her energy level was extremely fast paced. It gave the impression she wasn't patient with my concerns or questions, and I felt very rushed through the appointment. She also gave the impression she was rushing through the appointment. This also made the experience very impersonal."
