He listens and provides amazing feedback. I have weight issues, but he didnt make me feel small about it. He was very encouraging and made me feel empowered that I can better myself.

Dr. Tinkerhess is a very outstanding human being very likable very personable. He puts for every effort to be thorough and double check that you understand as a practitioner. I have not much to complain about. I have only one caveat. His “bedside manner “ anytime I have spent time with Dr. Tinkerhess. He speaks in an overly rushed manner, and there is a sense of urgency to promote or encourage other or additional procedures. Which clouds the perception or image of this being a medical facility in trade for a business is hustling you for more opportunities for money. And to be completely honest and fair, I don’t know that this is necessarily a personality law of Dr. Tinkerhess's it may be demands that are asked of him from overhead, this imposition may be imposed upon him. This last visit, though he did exert his urgency in promotion for possible additional practices we did have moments of relating, though I suppose, may forcing laughter into the visit, opposed to being a dry dismal patient may have aided in that. Humorously enough, my ride, and those attendance upfront at the front desk were actually concerned about my whereabouts because apparently we had a longer visit then realized. Dr. Tinkerhess is an outstanding human being. I can pick up on that easy enough. I just get the impression he has demands put up upon him that force him to cloud the experience of a medical visit into a business proposition.

Best dr I've been to. From the introduction of himself to the interest in my medical history to explanation of every aspect of my wellbeing. Dr Martin spent great amount of time to understand my health situation thoroughly explained standards and expectations. He is very easy to talk to. Left feeling good that i got support when and if I need it.

This is the first time I saw this provider. I saw him because the provider I usually see didn't have any openings. He was very polite. Listened to what I was saying. Discussed my situation in terms I understood and we discussed together a treatment plan that I was agreeable to.

I picked Dr. Tinkerhess as my primary care physician without even meeting him. I did this because I was looking for a doctor that was close to my home and my neighbor across the street gave him a good review. I hope our doctor patient relationship is as great as my last doctor was for 30 years. Looking forward to working with him.

Dr. T spent more than enough time for my 3 month followup. He took extra time to better explain a procedure upcoming and ALSO spent extra time inspecting my ears personally before handing of to RAINA his assistant for that procedure.
