He is a wonderful doctor. His nurse is too. I received excellent care before and after skull reconstruction.

After 6 years of pain, the source revealed - botched surgery by Martinez. Hopefully, a second round of surgery by someone else will correct.

I wouldn't have given a whole star if I didn't have to. His office staff is rude, very rude and not only did he reschedule my surgery the night before I was suppose to go in, he also did my surgery along with 4 others and went out of town and left no instructions for anyone. All the rude receptionist could say was go to the ER. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL THE ONLY NICE THING I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT AT LEAST HE FIXED MY NECK but if I ever have anymore problems I will find another surgeon.

The most wonderful surgeon I could have ever prayed for! God has Blessed him with the intellect and intelligence of not only a top notch Dr. but the personality of a Angel sent from Heaven. Very wonderful mannerisms that give you confidence in his work that speaks for it self. My surgery went way better than I expected and healed very fast with a lot less pain than I expected. I was walking and feeling a lot better with relief in my whole left lower extremity from the hip down. All pain relieved and able to sleep again. Thank you God for this wonderful Man! I give him a 10!

Very good physician/surgeon took care of the removal of spinal tumor that was wrapped around my spinal cord in 2008. Full recovery. Doing well. Returned to work two months after surgery. No disability, able to perform daily duties and enjoy life!

Dr. Martinez has done surgery on both of my wrists, my neck, and my back. He is a miracle worker as far as I am concerned.
