After he graduated, Dr. Martinez worked for a prominent dentist who created smiles for movie stars and professional athletes. He decided to return to Paramount to offer quality dentistry, with that special touch of care that every family deserves. Even though he returned to Paramount, some of his patients travel long distances and even out-of-state to continue their dental health care with Dr. Martinez.
Dr. Martinez continues to strive for perfection, and he was awarded a Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry(FAGD) and recently another Fellowship from the American College of Dentists (FACD). He is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Associationwhere he serves as a delegate, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and The Academy of General Dentistry.

Early in his career his knowledge in dentistry was already respected, being a guest speaker on television and radio talk shows.
Throughout his accomplished career, Dr. Martinez has been committed to education, giving back to the community and making a difference. He has sat on many boards, including the Cerritos College Educational Advisory Board and the Paramount Chamber of Commerce Executive Board, holding the office of president three times.

Dr. Tsao was born in Taiwan. When he was 12 years old, he and his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Cerritos, CA. He graduated from Cerritos High School in 1996 as the valedictorian of his class and went on to earn a bachelors degree in biology from the prestigious Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in 2000. He has always had an immense interest in the healthcare fields, but also harbored a passion for art and technology, so he ventured to the San Francisco Bay Area where he worked as a web developer and graphic designer. Although he found his work rewarding, he missed the close personal relationships and privilege to work on the human body that are unique to being a healthcare provider. After careful research, he decided on a career in dentistry and never looked back. In 2007, he graduated from UCLA School of Dentistry among the top of his class. He earned numerous awards for his academic achievements and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.
After graduation, Dr. Tsao pursued additional training by completing a residency program in general dentistry at the VA hospital in Long Beach, where he treated our countrys veterans. Dr. Tsao then began his career as an associate dentist at several practices in Los Angeles County and Orange County. When his fiance finished her training as an ophthalmologist and found a position in Oakland, CA, Dr. Tsao relocated to Northern California and happily married the love of his love.
Dr. Tsao and his wife enjoyed successful careers in Oakland, but always longed to return to Southern California where they both grew up. In 2015, Dr. Tsao and his wife happily moved back to Cerritos, and shortly after, Dr. Tsao joined Dr. Martinezs successful practice. Dr. Tsao was drawn to Dr. Martinezs practice because they share the same dental philosophy they strive to build long-lasting partnerships with their patients that are based on honesty and personal, gentle dental experiences.
Dr. Tsao remains committed to honing his knowledge and skills by regularly attending continuing education courses and study clubs. He is a member of the American Dental Society, California Dental Society, and Orange County Dental Society. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
