Ive had Dr. Martin for my rheumatologist ever since I was diagnosed. Hes great. He doesnt mess around telling you what you want to hear. He tells you the way it is and what can be done to help you. He includes you in the treatment plan, explains any questions you have and does the best he can to help you be the best you can be. He truly cares about your health and well being. Thats been my experience. Ive read the negatives. Give him a try. Youll see.

Very nice and through. He explained to me more about my condition then any other rheumatologist that I’ve had before. I would highly recommend him.

I’ve been with Richard Martin for over 30 years. He’s very knowledgeable and truly has your best interest at heart. I’m thankful for all that he has done for me.

Dr Martin is one of the best docs Ive ever visited. Hes smart, listens to me and is honest and empathetic. I know I can trust him to help me deal with my RA.

I am happy and pleased with the care this office is giving me. Appointments have always been on schedule. True Professionals. Most importantly they are making me better.

My experience with this office was anything but what you would expect from medical professionals. While he did seem as though he would look into my case, I never returned as my husband and I did not feel the need to pay money to be bullied. I have never met a doctor more narcissistic in my life. Listen to the reviews and find care elsewhere, chances are anywhere else you choose to go will provide far more compassionate care.

Im motivated to write this review because of other, unfavorable reviews of Dr. Martin. Ive been a patient of Dr. Martin for 10 years and hes been nothing short of amazing. He is ALWAYS willing to take time to explain the physiology of arthritis and the specifics of how certain meds may work to treat my condition. He includes ME in the decision making of treatment, etc. Dr. Martin has been involved with researching medications and is published in the field. Ive never been happier with a doctor. He never has an attitude, has never been condescending and treats me with respect. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Martin!!

I love Dr. Martin. I had a complex case with vasculitis at a very young age and he has followed my case ever since. He’s been great and I would recommend him to anyone needing a good rheumatologist

I recently came to this office with a family member who sees Richard Martin. I do not respect him therefore I left the Dr. off of his name. Richard Martin is very rude, inconsiderate, uncompassionate, and very condescending! He is the Epitome of a doctor who should NOT practice. He immediately came into the room, he did not say hello to me but said hello to my family member. He asked about my family members recent hospital stay and when I began giving him background information and inquiring about a certain treatment/medicine he immediately began talking down to me before I could explain why my family member was there. He then told us that we can go someplace else Yes! he said that!! So that is what my family member will do. When he left the room he told us he was printing off the labs and visit summary and he would be returning back into the exam room, he never came back. I have NEVER been mistreated like this before and would NOT recommend Richard Martin to anyone for rheumatology.

I call for an appointment.. they show me attitude for no reason.. showing attitude doesnt mean you are good doctor

I have been seeing dr James Burmingham for over 6 years at this office. Although he is carrying and kind I believe the time spent in the office is better served seeing someone else at this point that treatment is just not helping. After thinking about changing doctors for over a year. My last visit caused some concern with the curtesy of the office staff. I’ve been going here for years and all of the sudden they need to see my ID insurance card and asking my primary care doctor every time I came in. When I got upset about that practice the office manager came into the examining room and said that she is just fallowing my government regulations (what I can only figure she was referring to President Trump) fallowing the letters of the laws. She then began making things into a argument. I was in a great deal of pain that day a level of 9-10 later I have been to a Surgen dr John Keller sever stenosis lower back I have scheduled a procedure to relieve the pressure and relieve some pain. They also said that the stenosis in my hands can be removed quite easily they are very kind at the Surgens office and carrying. Unlike West Michigan Rheumatologist office , they have turned quite rude. The office manager whom wouldn’t give me her name. Said she was cleaning house and had fired people who would not fallow her rule. She said with a sarcastic grin she had fired the front office receptionist already and she was going to get more. I could not believe what she told me and I said she had made a hard dession easy for me and I’m not going to listen to her anymore. I have never seen such an arrogant manager of a medical office in my 62 years. Living with RA is not easy and for these people to give me such griefs is totally uncalled for. I questioned her about if this was about money and she said she was not going to tolerate dead beats , excuse me I have a no copayment insurance with a zero deductible. How much desrepect can one person take who is in severe pain, uncaring office staff members are not acceptable in my humble opinion. Past time for a move.

Dr Martin, is rude , inconsiderate, uncompassionate, and very condescending! Hes an untrusting narcissist!! The day I finally went to my new rheumatologist, she told me that she had four other patients that day, that were new patients, that had left him. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor!!

Very nice Dr
