Going to the Dentist is never someone's favorite thing to do. However my experience with Dr. Martinez and her staff has changed that perception! I am extremely sensitive and this is the closest I have come to pain free dentistry. They are always aware & really try to make my experience as pleasant as possible.
I always sense & feel a calming effect in Dr. Martinez's hands...she radiates peacefulness.
Pam, the patient administrator, is extremely understanding and works with you in all phases. Everyone in this office is exceptional. I know that anyone would be relieved and very satisfied with this practice- you will not be disappointed!

"Dr. Martinez and her staff are so warm and inviting, always makes me feel like I am a guest in their home instead of an office. Top quality care, and genuine people."

"My whole family sees Dr. Martinez and we absolutely LOVE HER! She's kind, gentle, quick, and explains everything that she's doing so you know what to expect. She's an amazing dentist and we're thrilled we found her. The staff is also exemplary--helpful, sensitive, and friendly. It's like walking into a family."

"Having neglected to maintain periodic dental care for some time, yes I am a big baby, Walnut Avenue Dentistry was recommended by my fiance, a long time patient. The office atmosphere is warm and friendly. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and caring. My appointment was scheduled quickly and conveniently. Although typical, each of my fears and concerns was treated with respect and understanding. Not only did Dr. Martinez perform a dental examination, more importantly, she provided a dental education. To say I'm looking forward to my next visit would be disingenuous, but I am looking forward to having a healthy, happy smile."

"The best experience I have ever had at a dentist. After not going for almost five years because of painful experiences with other dentist Dr. Martinez made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Best of all there was no pain! Dr. Martinez constantly made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. I would recommend her to anyone. "

"Who would have thought going to the dentist could be an enjoyable experience? Well, I have certainly found that can be true! The individuals in your practice have followed your lead and given great attention to my comfort and ease in all of their dealings with me. Janie, Kim, Luis, Pam and Phyllis not only do their jobs in a very professional and skilled manner, but are also kind and caring people. I was apprehensive about having five teeth extracted and the whole denture business, but you made it a very easy experience for me. You prepared me well and the lab did an excellent job. I am very pleased with the results. "

"Dr. Martinez and her staff have gone to great lengths to insure my comfort and to make me feel at ease. The office is full of small thoughtful items (like TV's on the ceiling to look at while on your back!) to make the patient more relaxed. The office boasts state-of-the-art equipment, designed to facilitate development of the procedures required for use, minimizing the number of visits. I am a big baby when it comes to pain and I can honestly say, the worst pain I have had at Dr. Martinez's hands, was my shot of numbing agent. Everytime I return to my office after a visit I recommend this practice to more people I work with. I am not a person who relaxes easily around people I've just met, but this office feels like a safe harbor. As busy as the staff and doctors are, NO ONE ever seems like they are in a hurry, nor do they rush the patient through whatever the treatment. Furthermore, they are all very happy to explain what they are doing. I am very happy with the service level in this office. "

"Thank you for taking such good care of me and my two grown children. After my own restoration and whitening and it's refreshing feeling inside, came an unexpected surprise -- a renewal of pride in my teeth. Now I wonder, how many other renewable prides might also have been forgotten after so many years?"

"Everyone deserves excellent care and to be cared for - and that is exactly what you and your amazing staff provide. I always feel so cared for in every aspect when I come to your office - no matter what the procedure. Not only do you provide the best possible dentistry available, but you treat the body, mind and spirit, as well. Nicolette said she felt so pampered at your office and has never received better health care. We'll just call it "spa dentistry" from now on! Thank you again for the gift and for taking such good care of me. I love you guys!"

"Thanks for fixing my tooth. Now I can eat with both sides of my mouth and all my teeth. I must say that you and Phil's bedside manner was Outstanding and your staff is Top Notch. I had been promoting you guys around the office and one of my colleagues received your Word of Mouth mailer and brought it in today. the mailer is quite colorful. I see you guys are pushing the Zoom with the In-House Tooth Whitening Special. I'm going to have to get it done in the future."
