John R. Martin, MD

Board-certified general surgeon Dr. John Martin provides a wide range of services, from the treatment of superficial “lumps and bumps” to complex hernia repairs and the removal of some cancers. His interest in general surgery is rooted in its ability to combine technical knowledge and skill with compassionate and personalized patient care. Today, patient education and collaboration are the keystones of his practice, ensuring his patients are well-formed and actively involved in their care.

A graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine, Dr. Martin received his fellowship training from the University of Minnesota and later pursued a Master of Health Professions Education from the University of Illinois—Chicago. Although born and raised in Mississippi, he considers himself an adopted Hoosier. After his family moved to Indianapolis in the early 2000s, he later married a Hoosier and started his family here. When he’s not working, Dr. Martin enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, writing, backcountry camping, playing disc sports and fly fishing.
