Dr. Martinez made a thoughtful physical evaluation including an ultrasound for good measure. He showed me my tumor location exactly by using PET scan imaging and talked through the pros and cons of surgical removal of the tumor based on the location of the tumor. Dr. Martinez was engaging, kind, and relaxed in his manner, not rushing me to make a decision. He gave me time to ask questions regarding anatomy and possible routes of metastasis. Dr. Martinez Is a doctor who I rely on and have confidence in, when needing discernment with my health care. He has already done 2 tumor removal surgeries in 6 years with good visual and physical results. Dr. Martinez knows his surgical competency and will refer to another surgeon if a case is beyond his scope of practice.

Such an affable, considerate practitioner, plus very knowledgeable of his specialty. I've been given the all-clear, so regrettably will not need further appointments with Dr. Martinez.

Dr. Steve Martinez is one of the best physicians I have ever had. He listens well, responds thoughtfully to questions and concerns, converses in an unhurried manner, all with a sense of humor when appropriate. He is very thoughtful about my comfort and what lies ahead in diagnostic procedures.
