Michael Martin, a certified physician assistant, received his Master of Medical Science from Mercer University after attending the University of Georgia for his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. Michael would describe his medical practice style as truly connecting with the patient. He finds it important to not only look at the current situation, but to also think of the long-term goals so that a trusting relationship can be created between the provider and patient. One of his favorite quotes comes from Hippocrates, “Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.”

“I believe that medicine is not only about treating the illness or disease, but also treating the person. When we make the effort and time to connect with the patient and focus on long term goals, we can create a world of positive outcomes.”
