At Hill Country Allergy & Asthma we diagnose and treat people who have allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, rashes, recurrent infections, immunodeficiencies, adverse drug reactions, insect allergy and food allergy.
Allergy symptoms occur when your immune system overreacts to an allergen that usually is harmless, such as plant pollen, dust mites, molds, insect stings or food.
There are an estimated 17 million people in the U.S. with self-reported asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease marked by wheezing, chest tightness, and/or shortness of breath. Let us help you develop a strategic treatment plan to improve your life today.

Dr. J. Alex Martinez has been an allergist for the past 20 plus years, and while he’ll be a new addition to Hill Country Allergy & Asthma, he is not new to Austin. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and his medical degree from the University of Kansas.
After finishing his residency in Internal Medicine at the University Health Science Center in San Antonio, Dr. Martinez completed a fellowship in Allergy at the University of Kansas before making his home in Austin.

He is enthusiastic to be back in the Austin area where he can hike and bike on the many trails and attend a variety of live entertainment venues. You may also see him about sampling many of the eateries that the area has to offer. Dr. Martinez also enjoys spending time with family and friends near and far.
