Physicians Regional Medical Group is pleased to introduce and welcome Timothy Martin, M.D. as a new addition to the Primary Care Team. Dr. Martin is board certified in Internal Medicine and specializes in primary care for patients 18 and older treating multiple conditions including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, anxiety/depression, rheumatoid processes, and endocrine ailments.
Growing up in the Midwest, Martin always looked forward to his Gulf Coast and Caribbean vacations and it wasn’t until he attended medical school that he realized it is possible to live in paradise all year long. Martin recently moved to SWFL after spending the past three years in Savannah, GA where he completed his residency program at HCA Memorial Health University Medical Center. Upon graduating from University of Notre Dame, he went on to pursue his master’s degree at Loyola University located in Chicago and later received his medical degree from American University of the Caribbean in St. Maarten.
During residency in Savannah, he trained at a large community hospital in southern Georgia during the beginning, middle, and end of the COVID pandemic. Dr. Martin believes there was no better time to train in medicine, hone his skills, and harden his resolve than these past 3 years.
Dr. Martin is passionate about helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds to quarterback and coordinate their own healthcare goals and help them succeed in meeting them. He believes that patients should take action when it comes to their health and he is committed to working together with them to accomplish those goals. Martin stresses the importance of a healthy doctor/patient relationship and hopes to build those relationships with every patient he encounters.
Martin’s philosophy is that the patient is always the most important person in the room and is committed to educating individuals on their specific medical conditions. He works alongside his patients to formulate the best treatment plan to prevent any future health disturbances.
Choosing a primary care physician (PCP) can be one of the most important health decisions one will make for themselves and their family. They are the first point of contact for health care for most people, provide a wide range of health services, and can reduce emergency room and hospital visits. If you are not established with a primary care physician there is no better time to do so like the present.
Dr. Martin specializes in treating various ailments including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, anxiety/depression, and various endocrine disorders such as diabetes and hypo-/hyperthyroidism. Most importantly, he practices preventative medicine and makes it a point to educate every patient on the age-appropriate cancer screenings that are available.
Timothy Martin, M.D. is now accepting patients and is located at Physicians Regional Medical Group- Pine Ridge, 6376 Pine Ridge Road. For more information on Dr. Martin or to schedule an appointment please call 239-348-4221 or visit PhysiciansRegionalMedicalGroup.com
