Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would definitely recommend this doctor.
First time with this doctor and everyone was so nice and friendly. Dr. Martinez and her staff were awesome.

Hernias repaired
Dr. Martinez repaired two big hernias and did an awesome job taking care of me during pre and post surgery. She answered all my questions no matter how many I had during the entire process. Dr. Martinez made sure my pain was minimized as it was a painful recovery. I’m so glad Dr. Martinez was referred to me.

The Best Colorectal Surgeon in South Texas
Dr Martinez first took care of my husbands surgical needs in 2021 when she performed a life saving emergency surgery. We have followed Dr Martinez to her practice at Gonzaba Medical Group because she truly has compassion and care for her patients. She's extremely knowledgeable and spends quality time asking questions and listening to her patients. She and her staff are the best in the medical community in South Texas.

A great Doctor Surgeon. From our viewpoint she is
Cancer surgery for Mary Poe 77 year old retired schoolteacher. Did the best surgery and treatment possible. Did follow up above and beyond what she was required to do. Without extra pay. Under Humana Medicare. Dr Martinez is the very best. Five star plus. Unable to find words to properly express appreciation. From Earl and Mary Poe.
