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. 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.
