A native of San Antonio, Dr. Martinez’ roots in the community go back to 1715 when his family first settled there at a time when the region was a new undiscovered territory. His family has been instrumental in the development of South Texas throughout its early history.
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. He then completed residency training in general surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and performed a vascular fellowship at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Memphis.

In 2001, he returned to San Antonio and has practiced in the community since that time, bringing new and unique technologies and techniques to San Antonio as the lead investigator for numerous clinical trials involving peripheral arterial disease.
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.
