DR. MARTIN DOYNE (1929-2012)
Dr. Martin Doyne, 82, of Las Vegas, passed away Jan. 18, 2012. Known to his family and friends on the east coast as "Buddy" and to friends and colleagues on the west coast as "Marty," he was born in Bayonne, N.J. in 1929. He attended Hobart College for his undergrad studies and University of California Irvine for medical school. Dr. Doyne founded his first clinic in Hawthorne, Calif., and focused on the treatment of the underprivileged and working class. Dr. Doyne moved his practice to South Central Los Angeles in the early 1960's, where he built a large and loyal following of patients, treating generations within the same families. During the Watts riots of 1964, his clinic was the only building in the neighborhood untouched by fires and looting. His patients stood outside and protected the clinic all night long. In 1992, he and his late wife, Joan, relocated to Las Vegas and he opened a new office in North Las Vegas on Bonanza Road and carried on his general practice and tradition of treating working people. Dr. Doyne was known among friends and family members as a raconteur and joke teller. He liked a good cigar and to dine out at favorite restaurants in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He enjoyed the company of women and the practice of his "second job" at local casinos. He was at once down to Earth and larger than life - he will be dearly missed by family members, friends, colleagues, employees, and patients. He is survived by sister, Lynne Bloch; sons, David and Daniel; daughter, Beth; stepdaughter, Alisa; families and relatives in Los Angeles and New Jersey; and beloved companion, Roslynn. Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, at Palm Mortuary-Northwest, 6701 N. Jones Blvd. Donations in his name can be made to Boys and Girls Club of America. Condolence cards can be sent to the Doyne Medical Clinic, 1706 W. Bonanza Road, Las Vegas, NV 89106.

Dr. Doyne did most of the physicals for fighters that were fighting here in Las Vegas. He always did the physicals for my fighters and he will be missed.
