Dr. Martinez was my pediatrician until I aged out 35 years ago. He was always so kind and caring. I knew I was in good hands with him and remember all visits ended with a dum-dum lollipop. My sincere condolences to his entire family.
My thoughts and prayers go out for the Martinez family. He was a gentle, caring, and brilliant man. Worked at General Division in "primie" and after would sit and just be a joy. And, my sons too were so disappointed when they could no longer go to him, as they had aged out. I'm sure you have wonderful memories and laughter for such a wonderful human being. Rest in peace Doctor Martinez. Jeanne De Luca
I had the privilege of knowing Dr Martinez thru my job as a nurse in the OB unit at The General division n at CCHS. Everyday that he rounded on his newborns, he was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to greet the nurses, and to learn our names.He was fun, and appreciative of our care for his patients n always had a smile.
i always enjoyed his anecdotes of medical experiences n just day to day tidbits of what made him smile.
learning now that he played many instruments, especially the violin was a surprise, but explains his gentle smile n joy for living.
Very sorry to hear that he has past, but thank you for "lending" Dr Martinez to us..he was well- liked and highly respected.
Many prayers for you, his family=his greatest legacy💕💕🙏

Dr. Martinez cared for my 3 sons, starting in 1974, with the birth of my first. He was a kind and patient man and so helpful to the first time mom. I am so sorry for your loss. He left such a legacy!

No words to express how we felt losing a very good man, who from the start has been a part of our lives together with his wonderful and supportive wife Tita Carolyn. Tito Nef have left us with good and lasting memories, family gatherings, travelling in Palawan, Bohol, Corregidor and other places to see the beauty of his home country. We will never forget you Tito Nef. And i will never forget when my mother was pregnant and about to give birth, she had the best doctor attending in the delivery room...his brother, Dr Neftali Martinez. We know you have done well and it's time to go home to your maker... again thank you for the love and you will always be in our prayers.
