Al Martinez
Al Martinez dedicated his life to helping others
as a physician. He now spends his time visiting
family and friends throughout Texas and Mexico.
This is a leisure he most certainly deserves.

Al was born in Mexico City in 1929. His family
consisted of loving parents, and 2 older
siblings (1 brother and 1 sister.) His childhood
was difficult for him because his father passed
away when he was only a teen. This hard coming
provoked him to join the medical field. From a
young age Al knew that he would want to indulge
his career in the medical field. He always liked
the idea of helping others and biology/ science.

When Al was older he attended medical school in
Mexico City. He put forth 8 total years of
college schooling. Afterwards he married and
moved to the United States.

Once in the U.S Al then took over the
practice from Doctor Bay. He then set up a new
family practice in Dayton, KY.
Al with Dr. Bay years after Al took over the

Al is used to make rounds at St. Luke
Hospital ever morning and then see patients at
the office. He works with doctors, nurses,
patients at the hospital and his office.

Many things have changed over the years in the
medical field. There are now more larger
practices with many doctors, not just one like
Als. Patient and doctor relationships have also
changed, because there are less patients to one
doctor. Even though the medical field has changed
Al is still the same person he was many years
ago. Loving, kind, friendly, and always wanting
to put others before himself.
