Richard B. Martin, MD

My goal as your personal physician is to partner with you to create a customized wellness plan to treat your current health problems and help prevent new ones. I have personally experienced “the other side” of the doctor-patient relationship. At 41 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and underwent multiple surgeries, radiation therapy and several cycles of chemotherapy. After conquering cancer with the help of my trusted physicians and nurses, I committed myself to providing you with the individualized care and attention you deserve. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere and can benefit from the full extent of my education, expertise, compassion and understanding.

With over 30 years of practicing in Nashville, I have relationships with many specialists. I may be your internal medicine doctor, but I also have interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. And my primary care practice offers comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in traditional practices, as well as conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments. I firmly believe in providing timely care. 

I serve the middle Tennessee area, including Davidson and surrounding counties. I am affiliated with St. Thomas West Hospital and Centennial Medical Center.
