About Nicholas Martin

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.

Provider Ratings

Why aren’t there any ratings?

We do not have a rating for this provider for one of the following reasons:

  1. Provider was newly added to our survey process and has not yet received the minimum number (30) of survey returns.  Check back soon for results!
  2. If this provider’s biography page does not specify practicing at Southcoast Physicians Group or a Southcoast hospital site (Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital), he/she is affiliated with Southcoast Health Network but not employed by Southcoast Physicians Group.  Our affiliates are not included in our survey process.
  3. If this provider’s biography page specifies practicing at Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital, without reference to an outpatient practice, he/she delivers care in the inpatient hospital setting only; inpatient surveys do not include questions about individual providers.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
