Providence Patient
I saw Dr. Martyak as a 5th year follow-up to a colonoscopy. She was very welcoming and asked questions about any problems I might be having digestively which might need attention as well as recent and/or ongoing medical issues. Since I am not experiencing any medically significant symptoms in her specialty and am about to celebrate age 85,, she carefully went over options with me and my husband, and discussed my most recent medical history. Before completing the visit, she checked my heart, lungs and abdomen for any irregularities and found me in good condition. She is a fine professional, easy to talk with as she looks you straight in the eye, and caring.

I feel lucky to have Dr. Martyak as my physician. I have seen many doctors for different medical conditions. I have also been an RN snd worked with many doctors. In my experiences both as an RN and as a patient, I have never met a finer physician. Dr. Martyak is both extremely intelligent and caring. She always takes the time to listen and thinks outside the box.My dentist referred me to Dr. Martyak.

It was only when he saw Dr. Martyak that he was diagnosed correctly and able to start on the correct treatment.
