Dr. Martinez grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, where his passion for helping others began at an early age. His interest in dentistry was sparked when he had to step in and help his younger sister with a loose tooth. Unable to access professional dental care, he used a pair of pliers from the family garage to pull the tooth and alleviate her discomfort. This moment made him curious about the field of dentistry and set him on the path to becoming a dentist.

After volunteering for two years at the Berkeley Free Clinic in Berkeley, CA, Dr. Martinez confirmed his desire to help others achieve their dental goals. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in integrative biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and worked as a research associate for five years at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Martinez then went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from New York University School of Dentistry. He furthered his education by completing a post-graduate residency at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn.

Today, Dr. Martinez cares for patients of all ages in Corona, combining his love for art, science, and medicine through dentistry. He values getting to know each patient personally, learning about their stories, and supporting their dental health needs. Driven by a passion for lifelong learning, Dr. Martinez is committed to providing the highest level of dental care.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Martinez is a devoted husband and father. He enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two children, often sharing laughter and creating lasting memories. Bilingual in both English and Spanish, Dr. Martinez is proud to offer inclusive, accommodating care to the diverse community of Corona. In his free time, he enjoys cycling and cheering for his favorite California football teams.
