Patient Reviews
Jun 04, 2023
Do not come to this doctor. Martin J backman is rude, uneducated, lacks empathy and compassion. His entire staff are just like him. Never answer phone calls. They rush you. No respect. I went there for seizures, I was hooked on the EEG machine. I asked, would I experience any seizures. If I were to be hooked on the machine. They assured that i wouldn't. I had 2 seizures!!!! No one helped, no one comforted me, no one did anything. They called my husband in (he was in the waiting room) Doctor Martin didn't even sit down to speak with us. He saw me having seizures. Cold hearted man. The nurse/technician who administered the test. Told my husband, I should take the COVID shot. Because I was considered high risk. When we refused she shamed us. If you fear for your safety and well being do not come here.
