Jessica Martinolich, MD

I believe every patient deserves compassionate, personalized care. As a Clinical Associate Professor at University of Florida Health, my goal is to help patients feel comfortable, informed and supported throughout their treatment. I take time to listen to concerns, answer questions and explain treatment options in a clear, easy-to-understand way so patients can feel confident in their care.

I graduated magna cum laude from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in biology and earned my medical degree from Albany Medical College. Then, I completed my fellowship training in colon and rectal surgery at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago after finishing my general surgery residency at Albany Medical Center with Alpha Omega Alpha distinction.

In addition to caring for patients, I am involved in research focused on improving outcomes for people with colorectal disease and cancer. My work has been published in national medical journals, and I have presented research at meetings across the country.

I am proud to be a member of professional organizations, including the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons. I also serve on committees focused on cancer care, pelvic floor disorders and quality improvement.
