About Nicholas Martin, MD, CAQSM
Nicholas Martin, MD, CAQSM attended Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Health Science. He then obtained his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts. He remained at the UMass Chan Medical School where he completed a residency in Family Medicine through the Barre Family Health Center and a fellowship in Primary Care Sports and Exercise Medicine. He is board certified through the American Board of Family Medicine and holds an additional certification in Sports Medicine.
Dr. Martin’s philosophy of care is based on the idea that physicians should always strive to find the right treatment, for the right patient, at the right time. He believes the key to finding the best outcome for each patient comes from taking a holistic look at the numerous factors that impact a patient’s health. Having personally struggled with sports related injuries as a young athlete, Dr. Martin remembers the way his physician made him feel understood as a patient and he aims to provide the same level of care in his practice.
Throughout his training, he had the opportunity to work with team physicians, covering football, hockey, baseball, basketball, and mass participation events. As part of his fellowship, Dr. Martin was able to serve as a team physician for the Worcester Red Sox as well as collegiately at the Division I, II, and III levels with local schools including College of the Holy Cross and Assumption University. Attending these games and working with these teams gave him the opportunity to witness the great impact Sports Medicine has on the ability to help players bounce back and return to doing what they love after an injury.
When not at work, Dr. Martin can be found watching whichever Boston sports team is playing, working on DIY projects, woodworking, and spending time with his wife and two cats. He also volunteers as a mentor at his alma mater, Northeastern University, working with college students to help prepare them for their education and careers in medicine.

Dr. Nicholas Martin is an awesome doctor. His bedside manner is amazing and any questions that I've asked, he's helped me and given me the answers and stuff I didn't understand he explained to me. He's just awesome all around and he helped me with my leg and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone I know.

I was very well attended by the nurses and the doctor.

Dr Martin was very informative very patient and helpful in explaining how to move forward in my care.Awesome and very knowledgeable.Thank you Dr Martin sincerely for your professionalism and understanding of my medical care.
Dr. Martin was very professional and put me at ease. He explained everything in a considerate and kind way. He gave me three options and said to take my time. He was great. The only problem was I had to wait 15 minutes to check in because they had only one staff checking in and she was on the phone with a patient for the whole time. She apologized to me but maybe have two staff to check in.
It was a wonderful visit. My fears were alleviated and everything was in the office! X-ray, exam, and treatment were steps away, it was so efficient. Thank you!
Dr. Martin is genuine and is an example of how all doctors should interact with their patients. I have already recommended him for anyone that is active and may experience a sports-related injury.
Dr Martin is an outstanding doctor!!!!!
I has arrived with significant foot pain & swelling not related to reason for appt. Staff put me in a wheelchair & assisted me thru out my visit, especially the med assistant & MD.
All staff courteous helpful clear to understand directions or other. Thank you.
Dr Martin and his assistants couldn't have been any nicer. He took the time to explain things to me and treated me with nothing but respect and kindness. I received a cortisone injection and he made it painless.
Dr Martin was fantastic!
Super clean office and very pleasant staff from check in/out to MA and provider- and I was able to get in quickly for a new problem which I know is challenging.

Dr. Martin was fantastic. Very thorough and took plenty of time to explain my condition and what we were to do to help elevate the discomfort. The staff from the front desk to the nurse were so friendly from start to finish.

He was extremely attentive to questions and concerns. Explained everything in great detail both verbally and used visual aides. Both myself and my daughter were very satisfied with the care.
Dr. Martin treated me with respect, and actually cares about my pain and/or progress. When he speaks, he has a smile on his face, which is quite comforting. I enjoyed my appointment with him and I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

It was a great appointment that I had. The nurse that came in prior to the doctor was very friendly and professional. The doctor was probably one of the nicest doctors I've ever gone to.

Great doctor. Injection was much less painless than when I had them before. Excellent technique !
Excellent professional service
First-time visit with Dr. Martin and his support staff all of whom provided excellent care, patient concern, and understanding of my problem. I would highly recommend them.
My experience was that I am being taken care of. Thank you
Dr Martin was super attentive and very thorough. The x-ray staff was lovely and super timely, which is why dr Martin not coming in for 45 minutes was more offputting. Once there, he was fantastic though.
I felt that Dr. Martin took his time in explaining everything to me in ways I could understand which was very helpful. Most Drs rush through the appts but I felt he took his time.
This was my first visit with Dr. Martin. I found him to be very attentive and he helped me with my issue and gave me further instructions for down the line. The office staff was very attentive as well and they were very friendly. I actually was able to get into my appointment ahead of schedule and I just found the overall experience to be very, very good. Thank you.
Dr. Martin was prompt, explained my options, went over the xrays and MRI results with me, took his time and answer my question, He let me make the decision for treatment and walked me through the procedure step by step. Very refreshing ,I have been through this issue with Dr's that rushed, misdiagnosed, and performed unnecessary procedures. Thank you
Dr Martin and staff are class acts. Truely the best of the best

Very pleased with the service I received from Dr. Martin. This was my second visit with him. He resolved the issue that I had with my knee and was very pleased with how he spoke with me, treated me, and would be happy to recommend him to any other persons that I know. Great service.
It was an ideal appointment & I have never said that about any Dr appointment in my 47 yrs. From the front desk staff to the nurse & most importantly the Dr listens & wasn't condescending or dismissive like most Doctors. I was very pleased with the care provided.

Communication with central scheduling was terrible and there was no way to contact the provider directly. I tried to get a message over to the office 4 times in a week but never got a response. Poor customer service!
Talked to me about all the choices I had and let me choose what I wanted to do
Dr Martin was understood my condition. Explained everything to me.
EXPLAINED PERFECTLY OPTIONS TO DO
This is the first time I've seen Doctor Martin. I'm seeing him for injections for my hip pain. He was very caring and professional and sympathetic to my needs. He explained the procedures to me before we went through them and answered all my questions and I was really moved by how compassionate he is. Great Doctor and a great staff.
It has been three years since my fall many doctors many different procedures. After my procedure with You guys I took it easy and the following day I felt like a million bucks. Thank you for reading my chart taking the time to talk to me, and giving me the relief I wanted for so long…awesomeness!!
Took time to talk about goals for this treatment,showed me x- ray & ultrasound images & explained them in detail. While doing treatment explained each step & what I might feel before proceeding with each step. I really appreciated this. Discussed aftercare & gave written info on same which were clearly understandable and discussed possible side effects of the treatment.
I arrived early even earlier than the doctor arrived and when he came in and saw me, he immediately brought me in to the examining room. He made it known that it was OK and he wasn't upset by the fact that they arrived early. I did keep apologizing. Dr. Martin took very good care of me and I really like going to him with my shoulder issue.
Great vibes from everyone my knees are working better I just loved the visit Very infiformative and also have healthy options I wi follow looking forward to next visit THANK YOU
Very kind and extremely intelligent Dr. Martin. He explained everything in detail in such a wonderful way! He also has a plan going forward which he also explained. I couldn't be happier!
