Dr. Martin L. Dresner, M.D., COL, MC, US Army retired

Marty, Dr. Jazz, was a lifelong active member of our society and had a deep passion for resident education. He served on the SGSU Board of Directors for many years and was a fixture as judge for the annual Kimbrough Seminar Resident Competition. Dr. Dresner served as the President of the AUA Western Section and on the American College of Surgeons Board of Governors, received the AUA Presidential Citation, and was a tireless advocate for military medicine, always promoting the talent and caliber of military urologists. Marty was an outstanding clinician and surgeon; he enjoyed teaching and mentoring many of our members while on active duty and after his transition to civilian practice. Marty loved his family (and considered us part of his family), music, tennis and enforcing the rules of proper grammar. Dr. Dresner retired from the Army as Colonel, was a decorated Vietnam War Veteran having served with the First Air Cavalry Division, received the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, and many other distinguished awards. Marty was proud to have introduced the DeSantis family to our Society. His presence and impact will forever be felt and appreciated at all future Kimbrough Seminars.
