Dr. Martin Menkin, MD

As a firefighter for 33 years, I have to say that I have met one Doctor with the knowledge in field and the compassion to truly research the best treatment for the diagnosis . The last has gone to his reward , may God bless Orange County Medical Director. Dr Menken is the top. I cant say how he has impressed me each visit. He went as far as calling me personally to give a lab review. The patient’s best interest should be the final determinant for all decisions , Dr Menken exemplifies this.

He impressed me because of the level of details he captures on written and verbal notes. He's really focused when he examines. If you want an excellent neurologist, he's quick to pay attention to details. He knows when to discount and sort through the muck of multiple symptoms and how it might fit into a bigger picture of overall. I'm so glad I transitioned to Dr. Menkin because of an insurance change. I think with the length of time in practice, he has seen everything. I complained about pain behind the knee and he immediately had it Dopplered. Would you believe they found something more serious than what we suspected? He did not diagnose on just a physical exam and he listened to me and put the two together.

Even though he might come across like a "no-nonsense" crusty guru,he is a guru. Do you know even he may seem reserved without a sense of humor, he cares. He personally, not his nurse or MA, called me back to explain the results of the Doppler--that's a rarity. He stepped me through his plan of action..that helped to stabilize my worries.
