Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Martinez has always appreciated that the dental field is a perfect combination of medicine, art, science, and business. He first realized that this career path was a great choice during his college years, when he spent time volunteering at a free dental clinic in Berkeley, CA. That hands-on experience allowed him to see firsthand the impact of poor oral health on the daily lives of many people. Since then, he’s made it his personal goal to empower patients with knowledge on how to prevent common dental health issues.

At completing his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, Dr. Martinez pursued his doctorate at the NYU College of Dentistry. After graduation, he also attended a post-graduate residency at NY Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. He is currently a member of the following dental organizations:

- California Dental Association
- SPEAR Education
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Martinez has been married to his wife Daisy for over seven years. They have a son named Nicolas, who brings them lots of laughter and joy everyday. Outside of working hours, his top priority is spending quality time with his family, whether they’re taking a simple stroll around the block or laying in bed on early mornings, making jokes and being silly. He also enjoys watching sports, going on occasional bike rides around Pasadena, and reading. He is a die-hard college football fan and loves tailgating with friends – you can always find him rooting for the California Golden Bears!
