Kelly Martinez, MD,FACS

I chose to hire Dr. Martinez for my March 2015 double mastectomy upon the recommendation of Dr. Ned Synder, who led my diep flap reconstruct. As a BRACA2+ patient at 40, I had many questions and concerns and consulted
, my childhood best friend, a surgeon conducting similar surgeries in New York to local patients who had worked with both surgeons and other physicians that have treated me for years here in Austin.
Dr. Martinez is a dedicated and serious surgeon that knows what she is doing and doesn’t pussy foot around what needs to be done. She also works with an excellent team that encourages movement and lifestyle respect during recovery which was very supporting to me. Those that need «coddling» may take her frankness as a lack of bedside manner. Do not let that dissuade you because she cares VERY much and if you mistake it, you may miss out on the chance to work with the best breast surgeon in Austin.

Went to Dr. Martinez when my partner was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She came recommended through a couple of friends and their friends. She is awesome. Period. She takes her time to explain and answer all of our questions and concerns. She was able to recommend doctors for all of the other services needed and they were wonderful choices as well. She made a horrible situation easier and I can’t say enough about that.

I met Dr. Martinez when my 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Our first appointment was New Years Eve 2013, and though I am sure she and her staff wanted to get out of the office she never made us feel rushed. She took her time and did a thorough exam and medical history, as well as an ultrasound. She was very compassionate and warm and made sure we understood the need for genetic tests (due to my daughters young age), but also the importance of moving forward quickly. Sadly due to results if the genetic testing my daughter had a double mastectomy in February 2014. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Martinez for saving my daughters life, but also for her compassion and caring through this difficult journey. I feel confident that we had the best doctor possible for this devastating diagnosis.

Dr. Martinez is located at Texas Breast Specialists, a new «service division» of Texas Oncology. I had recently discovered a lump in my breast and after a doctors visit and an ultrasound, I was recommended for surgery and to see Dr. Martinez by two different locations/​doctors. I tried looking up reviews online but there is virtually nothing. Hopefully this helps anyone else in my predicament.
I went in for the consultation and Dr. Martinez seemed very professional, but was very Serious Business. I don’t think she smiled once. She took an ultrasound herself, discussed options and even listed out all the risks of a lumpectomy surgery, which I really appreciated. I ended up having the surgery done and she was great! When I saw her at the hospital, she was very personable and was making jokes and generally just making me feel more relaxed and calm. All the hospital staff at St. Davids, where I had my surgery, were raving about how fast she is with surgery and how good she is! It’s true. I was in out and of there in no time. She came in to talk with me and my boyfriend afterwards and explained recovery.
When I went in for my post op, she was pretty quick and answered all my questions. I had a really, really good experience with her and would definitely recommend her if anyone needs to see a doctor about their ta-​tas. Their office staff is definitely on the ball as well and very quick to respond.
