Yadira Martinez grew up in Hillsboro in a family of migrant farmworkers, which gave her a deep understanding of the importance of access, trust, and culturally responsive care. Public health has always been at the heart of her work, and she is passionate about making dental care more accessible, compassionate, and connected to the communities that shaped her.

Over the years, Yadira has helped build programs that bring dental services into schools, primary care settings, and migrant camps. Her commitment lies in breaking down barriers to care and creating welcoming spaces where every patient feels seen, respected, and valued.

Outside of the clinic, Yadira enjoys spending time with her family, catching up on her book club’s latest read, and recharging with a good workout.
