Originally from Cuba, Dr. Martinez-Blanco came to the United States as an adolescent with empty hands and many dreams to conquer. She received her undergraduate education at the University of Florida, graduating in 2008 with a major in Food Science and Human Nutrition and a minor in Business.

Subsequently, she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the New York University College of Dentistry in May 2012, and was selected for a Senior Elective Mini Residency open to only 20 students with higher clinical standards.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

On a more personal note, Dr. Martinez-Blanco loves spending her spare time with her husband and 2 children.
