Overall Patient Rating
“I find the physiology of the kidneys fascinating…”
Dr. Suzanne Martin’s love of biology and desire to help others led her to become a doctor. “I took an Advanced Placement class in Biology during high school and just loved it. I also knew when I was younger that I wanted a career that would allow me to help people, so putting those two things together made medicine a natural choice for me,” she explains.
Dr. Martin is a nephrologist, a physician who specializes in diseases of the kidneys. “I find studying the physiology of the kidneys fascinating. Understanding kidney problems involves a lot of chemistry and math, and treating chronic kidney and dialysis patients is very complex. However, you have a real chance of improving people’s quality of life with the right treatment.”
In her work as a nephrologist, Dr. Martin treats kidney stones, electrolyte disorders, chronic kidney disease from hypertension and diabetes, and many other problems. “Whatever the issue is, you have to piece the puzzle together and try to figure out what is causing the problem. That’s why it’s important to partner with the patient so you can make decisions that will make the most sense for them, and hopefully prevent problems in the future.”
Dr. Martin enjoys working in a collaborative environment and sharing information with other physicians. “The advent of the electronic medical record and online journals has made it easier to share information and communicate with other doctors. It also streamlines the process of getting to know patients, understanding their history and problems, and helping to coordinate their care.”
During her free time Dr. Martin enjoys going hiking and camping, running, and being with her family. She also enjoys traveling and has been to Greece, Australia and New Zealand, and hopes to visit more countries in the future.

Dr. Martin was fantastic. She has a very nice balance of professionalism, yet relaxed nature, offering a nice human connection easily with patients.

This was my first visit with Dr. Martin, it was a consult; she came prepared with full knowledge of my history regarding my reason for the visit; she listened before she offered a path to care, she explained my test results, she was encouraging in the steps I had already taken to address my situation.

This was my first meeting with Dr. Martin. She was pleasant, and easy to talk to. She made the transition to her care comfortable tor me. My previous physician in her group left Reliant, so my primary care doctor recommended I continue care with Dr. Martin.

This patient rated the doctor 1 out of 5 stars.
Dr. Martin didn't make me feel heard regarding the symptoms I shared, nor how the treatments she'd recommended were making me worse. She did not appear to look more deeply into the particular issues I was having, but instead seemed to arrive at general conclusions based on very limited and topical criteria. Ultimately she came off as dogmatic and dismissive. I left worse off than I was when I entered into her care. I did not feel her principle agenda was helping me.
This patient rated the doctor 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I actually have two Nephrologists. One at [omitted] and Dr Martin. Both serve the same purpose but Dr Martin is a great listener and a doctor that monitors and keeps track of my health. Follows up effectively, and shows she cares. A great doctor to have - always feel she has my best interests in mind.
