He worked in blue-collar jobs for three years and then served in the United States Navy for six years before finishing college summa cum laude at American University, and being admitted to Georgetown University Medical School.

More About Dr. Martinez

Dr. Martinez founded Visionary Eye Doctors in 1997 and based on his core value of do well for others, he devoted his life to creating a practice that would provide not only the best eye health care using the latest technology for our patients, but also a practice that was like family and filled with a friendly, patient centered team who genuinely love people and provide a compassionate, loving touch in your journey to incredible vision.

We believe strongly in treating our patients as we would like to be treated.

We believe in the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We do our best to live up to this mantra in our practice in every way possible.

OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS YOU.

Nothing is more important to our Visionary Eye Doctors team than your eye health, overall health and well-being. Our goal is to provide you with an excellent patient eye care experience tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle goals. We are here to help you and we plan to be here for you for many years to come.

We work hard to earn your trust.

It isn’t to see how many surgeries or procedures we can perform; therefore, we don’t focus on those numbers since it isn’t our priority. Trust that we will inform you of the best options for treating your eyes and your vision. How you see the world truly matters. A lot of us take it for granted, however our doctors do not. Your vision is our passion and our life’s work.

We offer the most advanced technology.

Many may say this, however we do have one of the most technologically advanced practices in the metro DC area, which is one of the reasons we have become a destination practice and treat people from all over the United States and the world. For example, there is no better laser system for advanced cataract surgery than the CATALYS® system. If there was something better, we would be using it. Recently, we became one of the few centers in the DC area to purchase the new FDA approved Corneal Cross Linking Avedro KXL system for patients with keratoconus. Corneal Cross linking limits the progression of keratoconus, may improve vision and also can prevent corneal transplant in the future. We cover our technology in more detail here.

A multicultural Practice, We’re as diverse as Washington, D.C.

Reflecting the multicultural nature of Washington, DC, DC, at Visionary Eye Doctors we have the ability to speak in 7 languages English, Spanish, French, Creole, Arabic, Farsi, Tagalog. In case, we also have translators available for all languages.
