Kim Martin, DC, FASA

I have to agree with the negative review posted before me. I also went to see DR Martin from her add about an workshop. about thyroid and natural treatments. She told me she is a chiropractor and she can’t subscribe any medication. I was very disappointed to find out she had no real plan or solution to treat thyroid. Or she could not provide any answers I wanted from her. I would like to know what are the options for me before I decide to spend my money. I knew already all the info she was telling me. it’s like reading from internet about leaky got and autoimmune conditions.
She said synthetic meds are not right to treat thyroid„ but when I asked her again what is her treatment plan or natural solution she would get very defensive almost mad.
She keep on saying I need an extensive blood test which is not covered with most insurance (she does not work with any insurance companies)
She then asked for $ 60 to pay for a future visit and she said she is not sure if she even wants me as a patient. She will let me know after a BT which is like over a $ 1000. All I am trying to say is NO ONE EVER was trying to make me pay for a future visit and her regular fee is $ 195.00 for her consultation. After that a young man came over and asked me how would you like to pay? I felt the righ away’”workhop «was a TRAP. I was not very happy after the visit and did not PAY Anything for my future visit and felt like all she cares about is to get you in and take your money, but No real help or care or solution. That is not what I was looking for. After reading the other review I see my Got feeling was Right.
I do believe in natural products and helping the body with some extra vitamins, minerals and making dietary changes, and understand coach is needed sometimes, and there is a fee,
but I did not feel like she was the right person for me. BEWARE OF FREE Workhops. …

BEWARE of FREE «Breakthrough Thyroid Workshop».
I found an add in magazine. The workshop did not say anything new but I liked Dr. Martin opinion about food and medicine which is just like my. After a workshop there was promo offer for over $ 400.oo complete test (supposively the test real price according to Dr. Martin is $ 3800.oo) I took the test and I got explanation on paper and from Dr. Martin. Comes out my thyroid was slightly off, I had not enough calcium, vitamin D, zinc, iron. Also I was acidic and needed some enzymes. I went back several times (waste of my and her time) until I had heard the solution. According to Dr. Martin I was in need of 6 month treatment under her supervision, with diet prescribed by her and supplements and after 6 months the test (results not guaranteed) will be repeat and «we take it from there». The price for treatment was… over a FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I was never at the doctor who did have any answer for me just because I could not afford it. Dr. Martin after I told her this was way out of my price range she kept on shrugging her shoulders and she was repeating this is what she recommends. She did not have any other solution for me. She did not offered me supplements, she also did not reveal what kind of supplements should I take to make my self better — even thought she did said — and I understand correctly when she was explained the test results she eithere will have supplements for me or … I could use my own. I went there in good faith and I left after last visit angry, disgusted and disappointed. Maybe it is irrelevant but I would like to introduce my self to you. I am in my thirties, I am 5.9 and I weight 178 pounds — I could use to loose some pounds, I watch what I eat (I am big fan of documentary food movies) and I do kickboxing, boxing 4x a week. Dr. Martin (not so skinny or energetic herself) wants to prescribe me diet without even asking how my current diet is. I do not eat sweets or fast food, I love fruits, vegetables, whole grain, I do have a lot of knowledge about food. I may need some changes but I do not think they should cost me 5000 dollars. She has not care about the patient, only about the money. After she told me about financing planes and I was not going to take it she lost interest in me or helping me. I did recommend the test to my friends, I found them very complete and interested, but after I found out all you get is to pay for the test and no solution to the results I called all my friends and tell them the whole story. None of us is rich and if we go to the doctor we expect to treat us with respect and diagnoses.
