Dr Martin has been my dentist since he started the practice. I was a patient of his predecessor as well. He is a really wonderful and caring person, which means that he takes great care to treat his patients well. He does beautiful work and is very concerned that patients are happy, understand the process, and that the outcome is healthy and beautiful. He's very gentle, and listens to what you have to say. He's also not one to recommend unecessary work. I'm very very happy with him. The office could be nicer, but it's really fine. It's in a north seattle neighborhood, and it's small and very clean, just not a downtown highrise doc office (which you pay for in your bills).
I've had fillings and a root canal done by him, and as scared as I was about the root canal, it was a walk in the park. He called to check on me after it was done multiple times and gave me his cell phone if there were problems. He went out of his way to make sure that each process that he did went well. I'm fussy about dentists, and he is great.
