Dr. Martinez is very knowledgable and accepts all questions. She never makes you feel like it's a stupid question. She is great with children and adults alike. It's a pleasure to come to her office because she is always so happy and welcoming. She feels comfortable speaking Spanish and English, which for my family is very important.
