About Steve R. Martinez
As much as possible, I believe in providing my patients with personalized, multidisciplinary care. This is done by providing choices with respect to surgical and medical treatment. These choices take into account each patients circumstances. My professional opinion is based on the most current medical evidence, extensive personal experience, and the contribution of my colleagues in the fields of surgery, medical oncology, radiology, radiation oncology, pathology, physical therapy, nursing, and genetics, among others.
