I have worked with Dr. Stephen Martin for several years and can attest to his exceptional surgical skill and judgment. He routinely manages complex cases, delivering excellent outcomes with meticulous pre‑operative planning and attentive post‑operative care. Beyond his clinical expertise, he is ethical, honest, and humble, communicating clearly and compassionately with clients. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Martin for any pet requiring advanced surgical care.
I’ve trusted Stephen with the care of my own pets and would recommend his expertise for any pet requiring advanced surgical care.
— Dr. Stephanie Johnnides DVM DACVECC Specialist in Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care
Dr. Martin is an exceptional surgeon and colleague. He is technically excellent in both soft tissue and orthopedic surgery with consistently positive patient outcomes. Just as importantly, he is collaborative, approachable, and genuinely invested in empowering his team and communicating openly with referring veterinarians. Dr. Martin is also extraordinarily devoted to his clients, going out of his way to ensure they can access high-level veterinary care in a fair and reasonable way. He practices for all the right reasons: high-quality patient care, integrity with clients, and true partnership with colleagues. I have trusted him for years with many patients, and I would trust him with my own pets.

I have been working with Stephen for three years. He is a dedicated veterinary surgeon whose sincere care for his patients shines through in every aspect of his practice. His compassion, expertise, and steadfast commitment to their well-being always set him apart. No matter the case—whether routine or complex surgery—he treats every patient with patience, empathy, and remarkable attention to detail. It has truly been a privilege to witness the exceptional care he provides and the comfort he offers both pets and their families.

Dr. Stephen Martin is one of the most skilled, clear, and compassionate veterinary surgeons I have encountered. He successfully performed surgery on my 16-year-old toy poodle, Buffy, who also faces other health challenges, including an esophageal tumor and mitral valve disease. Dr. Martin has a wonderful bedside manner and took the time to explain every option, providing clear guidance and outlining the pros and cons, even anticipating questions before they were asked. During Buffy’s recovery, he replied to my concerns promptly, providing reassurance and advice whenever needed. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Stephen’s care and expertise during this challenging time.
