Meet Dr. Carla Martín

Dr. Carla Margarita Martín, MD, has been caring for adults and children in Rhode Island for over 25 years. Over time, she realized that our medical care system often focuses too much on disease management and too little on prevention. Instead of just putting people back together after illness, Dr. Martín’s goal is to help patients stay as whole and healthy as possible.

She is board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, as well as Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine, equipping her to be an effective change agent for her patients. By optimizing lifestyle choices—including nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and judicious use of medications and supplements—she coaches patients on a wellness journey toward the healthiest version of themselves. Dr. Martín’s goal is not only to help patients live longer, but to enjoy a longer health span.
