Dr. Martinez is by far the best Doctor I've experienced since moving back to NYC. He has renewed my faith that there are doctors in this city who care, are thorough and take the time to treat patients like people and not a number. I moved back to NYC from Los Angeles where the medical field is still amazingly good. But I've spent several years in NYC trying to replicate my wonderful L.A. experiences only to be disappointed over and over. Dr. Martinez not only treated me like a worthy human being but explained everything in my scan and has helped me navigate the process necessary for my care. I am so grateful for him and he has my complete trust.

I have been to numerous doctors in my lifetime but this man is by far one of the most intelligent and most caring doctors I have ever encountered on either side of the Atlantic. Although I see Dr. Martinez for a pulmonary vascular problem, he impressed me by taking the time to research my rare liver disease. He was also able to validate my concerns and find the problem I was having with my breathing when other doctors could not. Dr. Martinez has a tremendous staff to boot.

I have been seeing Dr. Martinez for 6 years and his diagnoses has been right on, even though my case has been mystifying to some of the best know pathologists from around the world. Dr. Martinez spends the time necessary to fully understand my questions and explain them in a way that a layman can understand. He keeps my other doctors up to date on my case and does not hesitate to refer me to someone else if he thinks that will be of a benefit to me. I highly recommend Dr. Martinez as a doctor to see if you have pulmanary issues that are out of the ordinary.

My experience with Dr. Martinez was great. He took a thorough history, listened well, made necessary contacts with other doctors, and was very reassuring that things were goingto be OK in the end. He is a big asset to my care.
