An Experienced
Team That Cares.

During his fellowship in pain medicine, Dr. Martinez was recognized as an Outstanding Fellow in the field. But his greatest honor is having other physicians from the community seek him out with their own pain management needs. Knowing that his peers trust him with their own pain management needs inspires him to continually look for ways to provide the very best care in his field.

Dr. Martinez knows that pain management requires much more than simply writing prescriptions – he looks for ways to help patients overcome challenges to move beyond their pain using the latest in pain management technology. Dr. Martinez believes how one practices and relates to patients is critical to the successful treatment of his patients. He does this by providing medical care with the highest degree of integrity, avoiding unnecessary procedures, and keeping customer service at the forefront.

Dr. Martinez has assembled a team of outstanding clinicians and support staff who are always upbeat and ready to work hard on behalf of their patients. He believes each member of his staff play an important role in the treatment of his patients. From the support staff to the nurse practitioners to the physicians, each person plays a key role in helping patients find relief from chronic pain.

Dr. Meskill had the advantage of being trained by one of the pioneers of pain management. She appreciates the opportunity to change patients’ lives from one day to the next through the pain management services Dr. Martinez offers. She is most gratified helping patients overcome their pain to perform the simple, daily tasks most of us take for granted. Dr. Meskill’s sense of humor brings an easy-going manner with both patients and fellow members of Dr. Martinez’s team. She is proud to work with an amazing group of professionals dedicated to their patients and each other.

Dr. Hoch completed his internship at Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Augusta, GA and subsequently completed his residency in anesthesiology and pain medicine fellowship at Walter National Military Medical Center located in Bethesda, Md. He served as a physician in the United States Army for 10 years where he was involved in academic medicine. Dr. Hoch found this work to be rewarding as he was able to help train future generations of pain medicine physicians as well as take care of injured soldiers. Dr. Hoch enjoys being able to offer non-pharmacologic treatment modalities to help patients regain functionality and improve their quality of life. Dr. Hoch is the newest physician to join the practice and is proud and excited to be part of a team that works collectively to bring the highest quality of care to its patients.

Being married to an army orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Hoch and his wife have moved multiple times over their army careers. They are happy to continue to call San Antonio home and look forward to raising their young children in such a great city. When not working, Dr. Hoch enjoys spending time with his family, whether it’s exploring a new park with his son, enjoying the miles of bike trails, or taking advantage of great year-round weather to hone his BBQ skills (a must for living in Texas!). Dr. Hoch looks forward to helping patients continue to participate in the activities of their lives that bring them enjoyment.
