Tim Marten, MD

TERRIBLE Experience! I DO NOT TRUST this doctor on any level. When post surgical problems occurred, changed from the pre surgery nice guy behavior to rude and snarky. Told me problems were my fault because I sought surgery. Neck/​face look so much worse now according to family, friends and photos. Wish someone had given me the «Buyer Beware» warning beforehand. Chose this guy because he had a big name. Sometimes big names translate into big egos. Certainly paid big money. Big mistake!

Last night I was with someone whose beauty I admired She attributed t to a facelift she had about fifteen years ago. That facelift was done by Dr. Marten. In my own experience I have found Dr. Marten to be one of the most talented and skillful doctors in the city. If one waits a while to be seen it is because he is not only sought after by people all over the world. He spends a significant amount of time teaching internationally and providing cleft palate correctioin for children and transforming lives through his own organization. His compassion, concern and commitment to his clients is superlative.

I am not a patient of this Doctor’s. I would have liked to be but the response time and how you are treated during phone calls and emails is really horrible. I emailed and left a message and no response. Then I called the office and left a message no call back. I even told them I was willing to wait almost 2 years for surgery when I had called. Im sure he is great doctor and he came recommended but all I can say is your staff is a representation of you. If they seem uncaring to you as a patient then most people will feel the doctor also shares these views. I have spoken to the best Doctors in California and NYC. I have even had some doctors personally call me to talk to me. So to me if seems these doctors do care so much more about patients then Dr. Marten. If it takes so long to even take my money to hold a time for surgery god know what would happen if something went wrong with the surgery once it happened. That alone makes me not trust going forward with this doctor.

I love my results after my surgery with Dr. Marten. The results look natural, nothing looks pulled and industry professionals say my incisions look great.
I recommend him whole-​heartily. He listens and cares. I was excited going into surgery and for good reason. My jawline looks amazing, I look like a younger version of myself but with more confidence. When I was young, I was too insecure to appreciate my beauty. I grew into loving myself but felt I looked tired and my neck added weight to my face. I happy to say I’m appreciating the attention I’m getting.
Dr. Marten’s staff is friendly and responsive.
This is the best present I could have given myself.

I have not been a patient of Dr. Marten — however I did set up an appointment for a consultation. For the consultation I had to book almost a year out… I thought it was a little ridiculous but figured I could just wait. About two months before my appointment I received a call from his staff asking to push out the appointment for 6 weeks — I thought this was a little crazy since I had been waiting so long — but agreed to do so. Today I received another call from his staff stating that my mid march appointment needed to be cancelled (because he booked somebody else in surgery) and that I could be re-​scheduled for mid June.
When I make appointments with clients I honour them. This disrespectful behavior is completely unacceptable. If he did not have time to take on new patients I should have been told that at the onset. Instead — I was made to wait for over a year and then pushed aside. I would recommend not making any consultation appointments with this doctor. Clearly he does not honour his commitments — which is a bad place to start for such an important process.

My experience with Dr Marten’s work and care, his clinic and his staff have all been OVER the Top. He is is an artist who is extremely knowledgable and caring and his staff are very professional and efficient. I did my jawline and neck as well as fat grafting around my eyes and all through the consulting and going through the surgery as well as post surgery i could not be more happy and content with him and his office. I visited many doctors and have friends whom had their faces done by him and other doctors. No doctor has his record for great job done. I totally and whole heartedly recommend him.

into magazines that appear as though he earned his way into them. He operated on me and he is a butcher. There are lots of great Docs in the City to go to instead, but beware of this guy!
Babs M. must be either his mother, or Helen Keller to say something this inaccurate.
It makes no sense to use Martin, and then have THREE subsequent surgeries by other surgeons to undo Martin’s mess. What a hack.
Beware. Please. There are lots of great surgeons, but this guy is an arrogant, over-​priced butcher!!! Please don’t make a mistake like I did.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile, Babs. And, fortunately, I do know how to spell his name, and more importantly, so does my attorney.
Bad news for Marten — TWO MORE WOMEN have surfaced who have been butchered by him. Unfortunately, that now makes THREE women who have spoken up, and one more who is afraid. (7−1−13).
I FIND IT HIGHLY UNUSUAL THAT 4 WOMEN HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER WHO WERE ALL HARMED BY MARTEN. IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO SPEAK UP ABOUT VERY PERSONAL PROBLEMS THAT IT IS TO RAVE ABOUT HOW GREAT YOU LOOK!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Marten. In December I had my neck, face, eyes, and a mini forehead lift plus fat injections. Oh, plus dermabrasion! I love the results! My friends are all going to be going to him now. Dr. Marten is an artist. He has just made me a younger version of myself and I don’t think I look like I have had a face lift -, just much better! He asked for pictures of when I was younger, so it was clear to me that he really cared about making me look like myself. If you care about having the very best, you should meet him, see his work and decide for yourself. I feel really lucky that I found this man. You should see the work he does on the jawline — Incredible!

Lucy, giving Dr. Marten two stars because you do not like your appearance one-​moth post op is unfair. Dr. Marten set the gold standard on patient preparation for what to anticipate. He gives each patient a booklet that not only describes preparation and recovery in detail. He gives advice to family members and answers questions that one might not have even thought to ask. Fat transfer is a detailed process and includes moving a canula back and fourth and over filling. In a couple months iyou will have a softer, more youthful look. At one one i heard my friend’s saying she was a beautiful girl why did she do this to herself. At four months they wished tto have hit done. Dr. Marten is the surgeon’s surgeon
He is a guest instructor to doctors’s world wide. While being one of the most skillful and innovative doctors on the planet
, he is one on the most sincere. honest and acing human beings I have met.

I just read the review from Marsha and she is waaaaay off-​base. She simply can’t be talking about Dr. Marten. ??? He is absolutely the best. He’s an artist and really wants his patients to feel and look better. He never does too much and is a master at fat transfers and lectures all over the world about them. I have had both body and face work done and it’s amazing. No one EVER thinks I have had anything done. I am 56 and people literally think I am in my 30s. Nothing pulled or fake. I just look fresh and young and like my younger sister, if I had one. I would counsel anyone who wants to look better to go see Dr. Marten. His staff is fantastic too. What can I say? If you are considering any body or face work, do yourself a favor and talk to Dr. Marten.

Hey Marsha H. of Burlingame, why don’t you learn how to spell Dr. Marten’s name before you start bad-​mouthing him without ANY fact or example included in your review, huh? I get the distinct impression YOU are the hack and have not one jot of a clue as to Dr. Marten, his skills, knowledge, reputation OR results. That said, I will provide MY review, based on actual experience, as I had a lower SMAS facelift, neck lift, upper eyelid bleph and fat injections done by Dr. Marten in August, 2012.
I am female, 57 years old, and my biggest issue — sagging jowls — has been completely resolved. I now enjoy a very defined jawline and beautiful profile. Dr. Marten also did a conservative upper eyelid bleph that is looking excellent already.
Dr. Marten suggested fat injections to numerous areas of my face, and while I’m only 6 weeks post, I have had no issues with uneven swelling or healing. The fat has completely rejuvenated my face, taking me from a 57-yr-old’s face to someone in their late 30s. I especially love the fat placed in my lips.
Dr. Marten also placed fat in my hands and did a superb job of blending it from the wrist into my fingers. My hands look awesome — no more bones, veins or knuckles showing.
I would not hesitate to return to Dr. Marten for touch-​ups or future work. I highly recommend him for those seeking a natural-​looking and even beautified result. And I will stick my neck out further to add: you will NOT need to go to three other surgeons to have his work fixed. In fact, you will start getting compliments from men and women who want to know the surgeon who did YOUR procedure.
