Joining North Medical Family Physicians in 2004, Dr Laura M. Martin trained at SUNY Albany and received her Doctorate from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1989. Dr. Martin completed her residency at the Wyoming Valley Family Practice Residency in Kingston, PA in 1992 where she continued to work for the next few years part time with inpatient addiction and detox.
Dr. Martin has been treating addiction with Suboxone since 2004, with a unique training and new DEA certification. She is AAFP Board Certified in Family Medicine, MRO certified, and has professional memberships with various organizations such as the American Osteopathic Association, American Medical Association, Academy of Pharmaceutical Physicians and Investigations, and more.
Dr. Martin participates in meetings and lectures on a local, state, and national level to help mold policy and increase addiction awareness among the communities and physicians. “My experience helps me understand that no family is safe from addiction and that it hides among our teens, coworkers, and elderly family members. Opiates are in our schools, in our workplaces, and in our families.” According to Dr. Martin, “treating this medical illness saves lives and restores families.”
Dr. Martin is currently working with an addiction therapy program at North Medical where patients can get the help they need for opioid dependency in a comfortable community setting.
Dr. Martin lives in Syracuse and is married with seven children. She enjoys lecturing to community and student groups to spread knowledgeable of the newest medical treatments for addiction, as well as increasing our awareness.
