She is so attentive and explains everything thoroughly. She answered all my questions and clearly explained the steps we would take to get me feeling better. I appreciate her even more because I got stuck in traffic and was late but she saw me anyway which was a huge relief!

You may experience a short wait to see the doctor since she takes the necessary time to thoroughly consult with each patient to identify their medical needs and address their questions or concerns. Very professional, knowledgeable and yes, thorough.

Dr Martyak is the best!
It was my first consultation with Dr. Martyak, and I cannot be more satisfied. The first impression – high professionalism. Doctor makes you feel very comfortable, listening and talking to you. You leave the office with a persuasion that you are in good hands!
She's a terrific professional: she listens, really, and is, of course, very knowledgeable, communicates directly and well. summarizes what she advises, and makes sure you understand everything, and sees to the follow-thru.

One of the kindest, most compassionate, down to earth doctors I've ever met. If it is possible to feel good about a total stranger sticking her fingers in private places on first meeting, she manages it ;-). Could not recommend highly enough.
I had a difficult condition, dr Martak gave me lots of treatment options, and even gave me dietary tips. Check in was easy, only waited 5 mins or so before I was brought back. Everyone was very professional.
I think everything about this office was amazing. The staff were friendly, and when I was asked to wait, because the doctor was running 5 minutes behind, the apologized profusely. It was only 5 minutes! So polite. Then Dr. Martyak took me to an office instead of a cold exam room to discuss my issues. It was a discussion where she did a lot of listening. She took her time and explained everything. She also was open o me asking questions. I would very much recommend her to anyone!
Dr Martyak is very open minded and considers all angles in her diagnosis. I truly appreciate her ability to think outside of the box.
Very pleasant dr, gave me lots of info on how to treat my condition. Staff was very nice, and professional, helped me understand my insurance coverage. Will be back!
Very sweet and knowledable, took lots of time with me. The waiting room was clean and relaxing, lots of magazines, the staff was super efficient and polite. Will be back in 3 month for follow up.
