My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I believe that the practice of medicine includes a true partnership between doctor and patient - a partnership based on mutual trust and respect that is earned, not given. 

As your private primary care physician, I will partner with you so we can work together as a team to create a personalized healthcare plan not only to effectively manage and better treat your current health problems, but also to actively focus on disease prevention and wellness in order to help you achieve your health goals. 

Having over 20 years of experience, with the last 8 practicing in the local North Shore of Boston community, I have relationships with many specialists. I also have special interests in diversity in healthcare, women’s health, cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension, mental health, and preventive care in addition to all aspects of internal medicine. 

In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, by offering a personalized healthcare approach, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. You will benefit from the full extent of my expertise, compassion and dedication, as well as from the individualized attention of my professional and caring staff. My primary care MDVIP-affiliated practice is located at the Cummings Center in Beverly, Massachusetts. 

I am affiliated with North Shore Medical Center-Salem Hospital, which is part of the North Shore Health Systems, and Mass General Brigham (formerly known as Partners Healthcare). I also speak Portuguese and Spanish.

from Gay in MA February 11, 2024 for Helena A. Santos-Martins, MD

In the autumn of 2022, I had surgery at a mammoth teaching hospital in Boston. Dr. Helena Santos-Martins quarterbacked the entire process, pre-testing, the surgical referral, even arranging the necessary appointments.

from Jamie in MA April 27, 2021 for Helena A. Santos-Martins, MD

I found my to Dr. Santos Martin’s office after searching for answers to a complex medical issue which had significantly compromised my ability to function in most areas of my life. I was at the end of my rope, exhausted by the underlying issues but also the struggle to find answers with minimal direction from previous treaters.
