Atrium Health Provider
Treats Only AdultsDr. Annia Cotorruelo Martinez is board certified in internal medicine. She is a hospitalist, specializing in treating patients who are hospitalized.
She grew up in Cuba and remembers seeing her father, a surgeon, return to the hospital after hours just to check on patients. Her mother, a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor who specialized in pediatrics, would often treat sick children in their living room on weekends just to reassure a worried parent. These experiences fueled her desire to care for people and study medicine.
Dr. Cotorruelo Martinez has received several awards, including the Prasad Award for the Art of Medicine and Excellence in Patient Care and Humanism from NYU Langone Hospital - Brooklyn; the Graduate with Exceptional Academic Performance in the Medical Sciences, awarded by the public health minister in the Havana City Education and Research Department; and the Gold Medal in Medical Science given by the Superior Institute of Medical Science in Santiago de Cuba in Cuba.
Dr. Cotorruelo Martinez received her medical degree at ISCM Santiago de Cuba and completed residency in general surgery at The Saturnino Lora Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba. After moving to the U.S., she completed a residency in internal medicine at NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn, where she was chief resident.
Her greatest joy outside of work is spending time with her husband, daughter, friends and extended family. Dr. Cotorruelo Martinez loves being outdoors, visiting Walt Disney World and participating in activities that help her daughter grow and develop. She loves to do ballet, exercise, ride roller coasters, dance and read books that have surprising and unexpected endings.
