After attending Texas A&M University for his undergraduate studies, Dr. Martinez received his Medical Degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

With particular expertise in weighing the minimally invasive and traditional open procedure options, Dr. Martinez is board certified in vascular surgery by the American Board of Surgery (ABS).

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.
