“I believe that honest, straightforward communication is key to providing compassionate, comprehensive and highly personalized care. I strive to learn from, educate and collaborate with all my patients.”

— Dr. Martin

What do you enjoy about working with patients who have blood diseases?

Throughout my medical career, I have been inspired by the strength and resilience of oncology and hematology patients. I learn from my patients on a daily basis how to negotiate the balance between what we can control in life and what we can’t. The most rewarding aspect of my job is the unique bond that comes from working with patients and their family members during what is often one of the most challenging times of their lives.

How do you like to work with patients?

I believe that honest, straightforward communication is key to providing compassionate, comprehensive and highly personalized care. I strive to learn from, educate and collaborate with you in order to mutually formulate treatment plans that incorporate not only the most relevant and up-to-date medical evidence, but also your individual goals and preferences. Rather than always leading the discussion, I often prefer to facilitate it, so that you feel empowered to share what’s important to you.

Provider Background

Area of Clinical Practice
Blood cancers and non-malignant blood disorders

I am a board-certified hematologist-oncologist who provides care at the South Lake Union Clinic and UW Medical Center - Northwest. I specialize in treating patients with lymphoma as well as other hematological malignancies and blood disorders. In addition to working directly with patients, I also help coordinate clinical trials between our main campus at South Lake Union and other Fred Hutch community sites in order to offer patients the most cutting-edge therapies, no matter their geographic location. My own research interests include exploring novel therapies for hematological malignancies and more personalized, precise treatment options.
