I had surgery by a colorectal surgeon in Boise and needed to have it done again which was done but couldn't seem to get any follow up so needed to get a second opinion and Dr. Martin was recommended to me. I went to him to see if my surgery was healing. It was and he said if I had any more problems to come back. Which I did on this visit. The last surgery looked okay but I now had more issues which should have been taken care of in the last surgery. Dr. Martin was so very kind and thoughtful in explaining this to me and he t... read more

I appreciate that DR . Martin explained in detail the options for the hernia repair. It turned out that laparoscopic was the best option for me. My 1st hernia was over 20 years ago and it was and open procedure. This turned out really well for me. There was very little pain and a quick recovery.

I had small lump in the groin area that turned out to be a hernia. Dr. Martin used a scope and mesh to correct the problem without opening me up to major surgery. I checked in @ 6:30AM and was out by 10:30AM. He has a great team that he works with and post op was also very good. A great bunch of people all around.

Twelve days ago, I had laparoscopic surgery to repair my hernia. Dr. Martin was the doctor. Prior to the surgery, he took the time to explain in terms I could understand what the problem was and how he was going to repair the hernia.

On the day of surgery, he came into pre-op to visit with me and re-assure that everything would be alright. After surgery, he came into post-op to let me know tha... read more

My hernia repair experience with Dr. Martin was exceptional. He calmly and clearly explained every detail of the procedure. He has a very caring and kind demeanor. Just before surgery he checked in with me and before leaving said “we will take good care of you.” I found this very comforting.

Fantastic experience! Actually saw him for consult on August 13, 2020 and was set up for surgery (Incisional Hernia Repair) within 15 days. Not only was the surgery a complete success, every appointment I had with him he was always right on time. Very pleasant and professional in his actions and demeanor. Also quite humble, I don't see where he sewed in his initials on my abdomen! Christee (assistant) was most helpful and enjoyable as well! Highly recommend!

What started with a random chance of getting an amazing surgeon specializing in hernia repair with several past failures, continued with amazing follow up treatments, best bedside manner and caring, comforting, and educating follow up visits to help keep my peace of mind during a very turbulent recovery. I can't recommend a better surgeon than Dr. Martin! At least for this type of surgery.
