Maria Martinez Md's Online Review Report Card

Bed side manners could use some work … Very condescending how she’s talks to you … Also Won’t give details but let’s just say I’m very familiar with health care and asked for a simple request she said she couldn’t do but I know could be done it was just a matter of not being lazy and after I explain why it could and how she pushed it off on someone else in office to do and facial expressions say a lot let’s just say…. Also no communication there repeated the same things three times to 3 people asking me the same information that was just keyed in my child’s chart !

Dr Martinez offered outdated advice for newborn care that went against the recommendations from the AAP. Her advice would have been quite harmful towards our intact (not circumcised) child. She would not listen to us. I had to remove her hands from him as she tried to rip his skin apart. She was all around condescending. Her advice towards breastfeeding was also less than stellar in telling me to give my exclusively breastfed six week old a bottle of water and to introduce cereal in a bottle at four months. Solids of any kind are not recommended before six months of age. We were former patients while she was practicing with LRH. She has since left the location.

Dr. Martinez-Ramos was my doctor for all of my childhood and adolescent years when she was based in Miami. She was always incredibly professional, well-spoken, kind, and never condescending when explaining things to my family and I. I wish she could one day be the doctor of my future children!

My job means I'm on the move all the time and spend extended periods overseas. Dr Portela is great: responsive, friendly and practicing in a centrally located office that offers everything you need in one place for a full physical. Highly recommended.

Dr. Martinez-Ramos is an amazing pediatrician. She is very professional and thorough. Being a first time mom I always have many questions. She always listens and I never feel our visits are rushed. You know you have chosen a wonderful pediatrician when your 2.5 year old gets excited when it’s time to go to the doctor. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Maria Martinez-Ramos has been my daughter’s pediatrician for the last 2 years and at very visit for these last 2 years Dr. Martinez-Ramos has been nothing but kind and loving towards my daughter. My daughter loves when Dr. Martinez looks for kitty cats in her ears and when she plays peek-a-boo while listening to her chest. I love the way she answers all the questions I have. At the end of every visit I go home knowing I picked the best pediatrician for my child. I love Dr. Martinez-Ramos and her staff!!!!

When it come to a quality pediatrician look no further than Maria Martinez-Ramos. I can’t express how relieved I am to have her as a Pediatrician for my children.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder apparently so is opinions. Dr Martinez has been nothing but pleasant and professional. Just because she did not pet your head and tell you that you did a good job as a parent doesn’t mean she is rude. Open your eyes people the Pediatrician is for your child not to stroke your ego.

Rude -that's a nice way to put it. We will be looking for another Dr who does not act as new moms are stupid. Very high and mighty.

I saw Dr. Portela during my visit in Washington. My 15month old son got very sick and my hotel recommended to see her. The front desk lady wasn't the nicest and I had to wait 30min pass my appointment but Dr. Portela was worth the wait.She was super friendly, took her time with my son and just knew how to deal with little patients. She sang to my son and distracted him to check everything she needed to check. She diagnosed him with a specific viral infection and gave me great advice how to take care of him to lessen his pain. My son is doing much better today already and I believe Dr. Portela's compassion has something to do with it. I highly recommend her.
