Dr Armando Leonel Martinez is an unprofessional Emergency Medicine Specialist (contractor) working at Rio Grande Regional Hospital Emergency Room (ER). On December 29, 2016 (2:35pm) in the hospital ER, this emergency room physician with less than 7 years of experience was rude and unprofessional. His conduct in treating my father was substandard. His lack of medical knowledge for a simple five minute procedure was extremely evident. Simply, he was incompetent in this medical procedure so we AMA (Against Medical Advice) depart the hospital at about 5pm. And went to the Edinburg Regional Medical Center ER to get the five minute treatment done under 1 hour verse the incomplete six hour treatment at Rio Grande Regional Hospital under his care. I would not recommend this ER doctor to anyone. Do yourself a big favor and seek out another ER doctor on call because maybe they would be of better service. Overall satisfaction was extremely disappointing.
Bottom-line, I have serviced 23 years in the military and I have the uncanny ability to spot individuals who lack character and integrity. Without a doubt, Dr Martinez is heading down the wrong path in his chosen profession while not thinking of his patient First before his Ego. Hoping he makes better decisions in future, Lieutenant Commander Beamsley (U.S. Navy)
