Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Martinez?

PPO plans do not require a referral. HMO plans require a referral from your primary care provider. Cash pay patients do not need a referral. Best practice is to check with your insurance before your visit—call 682-285-1044 and our staff can help verify your requirements.

How long is the first appointment?

Plan for approximately 45-60 minutes for your initial consultation. This allows Dr. Martinez to thoroughly review your history, perform an examination, and discuss treatment options without feeling rushed.

Will I receive treatment on my first visit?

It depends on your condition and insurance requirements. Some patients may receive treatment the same day, while others may need additional imaging or insurance authorization first. Dr. Martinez will explain the timeline during your consultation.

Will I be prescribed opioids?

Dr. Martinez focuses on treating the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms with medications. While he may prescribe medications when medically necessary, he prioritizes non-narcotic options and interventional procedures that provide lasting relief without the risks of long-term opioid use.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. We also offer self-pay options. Call 682-285-1044 to verify your coverage.
