Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor
More than 5 years with Dr. I had to switch to insurance and I simply returned to Dr. Martinez, because of her professionalism and attention, I hope not to change her and her team is very friendly

Not Happy
I have not visited the doctor because when I called on Monday to see her because I was feeling sick , I was told she doesn’t see sick patients face to face!!! I was SHOCKED!!!! How can a doctor see you through tele health, check yours ears, check your throat, listen to your chest to hear for possible wheezing or even pneumonia!!!! Any doctor can see when your healthy. Needless to say I will NOT be visiting this doctor!!!

Don't waste your time
Don't wast your time with this office. The staff (especially Danielle) is extremely rude, lies and hangs up on you. Always cancels appointments and make you go on a runaround to finally never get seen by the actual Doctor.

Dr.Martínez and her PA are amazing. The office staff needs a little work. I have been seeing Dr.Martínez for 4 maybe 5 years and in this time I have experienced the dishonesty and rudeness from office staff.

Unprofessional. Dr Martinez decided to refuse to provide care to our family member after 5 years as we did not follow up with her every 3 months, but every 12 months. She seems to forget there are 4 specialists that we have to take our family member to every 3 months, seeing the PCP just to say hello seems like a waste of time and insurance money. The office staff are very rude and refuse to provide a proper explanation for the refusal to sign papers. In addition, the dr charges to sign papers.

Dr. Martinez is the best! She makes you feel like a family. Very knowledge, attentive and caring. You are not just a patient, you and your health are priority to her. Her staff are very sweet, always in a good mood and the waiting time is on point. One Time I had the Flu and she attended me immediately and gave me the treatments I needed to get better. Dr. Martinez made sure I was feeling better before leaving her office. Not many doctor's take care of patients the way she does. Thank you!?

Dr. Martínez is the best. She makes you feel like a family. Very knowledge, she doesn't give up until she finds out what could be wrong. And the best part is, she will remember you next time... you are not just a number. You are a human being for her. Her staff are very patien and good mood, waiting time very respectful. But as always, people get emergencies. Dr. Martinez sees me, my husband, my son, my parents and now siblings and friends!! Thank you always Marturet's and Corona's family?

Dr. Martinez is such a great doctor, she listens to her patients and cares for her patients. My husband and I have been under her care and we really appreciate her quality of care. She is more thorough than any primary doc I have ever been to. Her staff is so welcoming, reassuring and caring as well! You will not be disappointed!

I started visiting Dr Martinez recently for an annual check up. Later on, I returned for a follow up, and was very pleased with her attention and detail to my health. I asked her about a diet, and she also provides this type of service. Her staff is excellent and I really like the fact you can view your results and visits online with a login she provides. She is very nice and I highly recommend her.

What a blessing to have found Dr. Martinez! It's very rare these days to find such a professional, patient, and caring physician. It seems most doctors view their patients as an assembly line to get in and get out as quickly as possible. Not Dr. Martinez. She spends as much time necessary with her patients and knows exactly what tests to order and what meds to prescribe. One of the best doctors I have had in my life.
