Luminal diseases of the GI tract are Dr. Martyak's area of interest. She takes pride in her good listening skills and warm
bedside manner. She is very excited to join the Southern California Medical Gastroenterology Group and practice
gastroenterology in Santa Monica. On her spare time, she enjoys the outdoors; hiking, body boarding, snowboarding and
spending time with her fiancé.
