Dr. Armando Martinez

DVM – Veterinarian Doctor

What Dr. Martinez enjoys most about being a veterinarian: “To be able to help defenseless animals get back to health.”

Dr. Martinez has had many pets throughout the years; from horses, cows, and goats to dog, cat, and avian. The two pets that have touched his heart the most are his loyal and good friend Pimpon, (a Jack Russell Terrier Mix who passed away in 2010), and his gal pal Maya, a very smart and loving white German Shepherd/Husky mix that he rescued in 2011.

Growing up in a small town in Guanajuato Mexico, and tending for his father’s farm animals, as one of his many childhood responsibilities, Dr. Martinez was inspired to become a Veterinarian. “I saw that there were a lot of large and small animals, getting sick and not enough veterinarians to care for them.”

Dr. Martinez graduated from EMVZ of Universidad Michoacana de San Nicholas de Hidalgo Mexico in 1985. In 2001 he received his Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG Certificate) from Schaumburg Illinois. In 2002 he received his DVM License in the state of Nevada and has been working in the Las Vegas valley in different animal hospitals since. Dr. Martinez purchased Caring Hands Animal Hospital in 2011, where he hopes to grow and stay until he retires.

His favorite activity as a veterinarian: ‘Surgeries that are out of the ordinary and have a successful outcome.’

Practice Manager

What Sam enjoys most about working with her father, Dr. Martinez is helping make his family business a reality. Although she did not study Veterinary Medicine (she chose to pursue a Bachelors in International Business), she uses her extensive experience in Project Management, Operation Management, and Marketing skills to create a positive, and efficient work environment both internally and externally!

She has an eye for process improvement and capturing ‘the moment’ with the team and with their customers and pet families!
