About

Dr. Marts is a native of Atlanta, GA and completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia. He subsequently moved to Augusta, GA where he completed his medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia. He then went on to Boston, MA where he completed an internal medicine residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and braved the fierce Boston winters. The sunny Georgia weather continued to call to him, so he moved back to Atlanta where he completed his fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Emory University. It was here that under the guidance of Drs. David Guidot and Viranuj Sueblinvong, Lucian performed basic science research aimed at identifying the mechanism by which chronic HIV infection and alcohol use promote lung fibrosis. Dr. Marts joined the Emory faculty in 2018 as an assistant professor of medicine. His work is divided between Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, and Emory University Hospital with a specific clinical interest in rare and orphan lung diseases, sarcoidosis, and interstitial lung disease. He has a translational research focus on sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease. In addition to his clinical and research work he has the opportunity to teach medical students, residents, and fellows in the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Dr. Marts continued to be an excellent doctor In every way. He listened to my questions and concerns at the appointment. Soon before this appointment, he promptly answered a portal message I had relating to a procedure I was worried about. He allowed some flexibility with treatment options. He helped me find way to lower medication cost. I especially appreciate that he went out of his way to contact one of my doctors not in the same field to help resolve a problem that has been bothering me for more than a year. Dr. Marts was able to get at least some positive result from that doctor after my efforts to do anything about problem weren't getting anywhere.

He was a nice professional young man. Thorough in his history taking questions. But there was no review of medical records sent over prior to visit. So given my extensive surgical history and sad list of unusual underlying conditions it was A LOT and frankly impossible to address in 15 minutes. He was kind and delicate in suggesting my 186lbs of obesity and lack of regular exercise was partly to blame for my chronic cough and glass effect in my lungs. His suggestion of water aerobics due to my severe degenerative disc disease could have been helpful had I full access to an indoor pool in rural southern GA.

Dr. Marts asks about my medical status (and my overall life) and takes this into consideration in prescribing my treatment. He does not seem to follow a strict regimen of how he treats his patients but rather uses his knowledge, experience and my status to inform his decisions which he makes clear as to the why. Overtime, we have developed a very good working relationship in treating my disease and its impact on my life and for this I am very grateful to him.
