Publius Martins, MD 283 Bard Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

"Disclaimer: this review is by no means a reflection of Dr. Martin's or Dr. Attina. Both are incredible doctor's & provide top-notch care to their patients; however, after a recent visit to my doctor of 28 years, I feel obliged to say this. If you do not belong in the medical field, do NOT take a job in the medical field. If you do not have a caring or compassionate bone in your body, if you are not patient & kind, please change careers. The office staff here has just been simple atrocious, rude, & dismissive upon my last three visits, most recently supportive my mother. Medical technicians, you are often the first person a patient sees when entering their physician's office. You have a very important job of taking down vitals & documenting them, as well as symptoms of the patient. Just by looking at the patent, it isn't always clear what they are going through, what they are feeling, why they are there for the visit or, better, what occupation they are (which may, in some instances, be of far higher education level than yourself & potentially more qualified to provide higher quality care than yourself). Do NOT judge a book by their cover. Treat every patient with the care they deserve, or TAKE A HIKE!"

"Meh, not a fan. This office feels more like a cattle herding experience than a caring doctors facility. Staff is hit or miss. Ever since they switched over to a call center for all related matters, it feels like a big box/ chain type of brand. I’m more of a call your doctors office and speak directly to the staff with whom you’ve built a rapport with after years of seeing them kind of person. Currently looking for a new primary."

"The communication is horrible. I was told they would follow up with me about my test results. I called several times to end up getting another appointment for a month later and pay another co pay. Then after having an appointment I was rejected due to the fact that I had my daughter. Mind you even during the pandemic I went with my daughter. I'm a single mother with no family on the island. I've taken my daughter with me to several places with no problems and just so that I can get a check up i need to reschedule for having her with me. This is ridiculous. I will not be going back to this doctor."

"Dr. Martins and his horrible staff, have literally refused to speak with me on the phone regarding two simple issues with my test results. I explained that I need a 3 minute conversation with him, but was told to make an appointment. I work in Manhattan and I would have to take a half a day off from work and sit with him for 3 minutes to answer 2 questions that he could have answered on the phone. I was also spoken to by a staff member in a manner that forced me to hang up on her. I don't allow anyone to speak to me the way she did. I have never had difficulty with any of my past and present doctors in speaking with them. I don't know who this guy thinks he is, but he is horrible. Dr. Attina, his associate, on the other hand, is far more bedside manner friendly."
