Education and Background
Originally from West Texas, just East of El Paso, he grew up in a small town where his family has been involved in farming for generations. Dr. Martin originally went to Texas Tech for college, but soon after transferred to Austin College in Sherman, Texas. At Austin College he decided he wanted to become a doctor. He was accepted into one of the best medical schools in the country in 1989, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. He then went on to complete a full five year General Surgery Residency at the University of Oklahoma.
In between his second and third year of Residency, Dr. Martin was invited to do a year of surgical research at the Johns Hopkins Hospital where he wrote numerous articles and a major book chapter. He then completed a full Plastic Surgery Residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham under the direction of Luis O. Vasconez, M.D. Dr. Vasconez is a world renowned Plastic Surgeon responsible for developing a number of procedures that many plastic surgeons use worldwide.
Following the completion of his Residency, Dr. Vasconez asked Dr. Martin to stay on staff and teach future plastic surgeons, which he did for almost a year. The “call” to return home and be closer to family was too great.
