Dr. Martinez-Cruz is not a specialist - at least none are listed on his license, or on his profile with the FL Board of Medicine. If he was considered a specialist his profile would say so. My assumption therefore is that he may limit his practice to certain areas.

Note he also does not carry malpractice insurance. This practice is acceptable in FL if the physician meets certain financial requirements proscribed by state law.

He also does not have any hospital privileges, and does not accept Medicaid.

All of this type of information to the public for each physician licensed to practice in FL.
