- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — At its meeting on November 5, 2026, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical license of Martin P. Smith, M.D.
The Board reprimanded Dr. Martin P. Smith’s license to practice medicine after he agreed, in a Consent Order, that he was negligent on more than one occasion by failing to meet the standard of care when reading a CT for one patient and an MRI of a second patient. Dr. Smith, a board-certified diagnostic radiologist, has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since June 15, 2005. He is currently affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, Milton and Needham) and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine licenses more than 50,000 physicians, osteopaths and acupuncturists. The Board was created in 1894 to protect the public health and safety by setting standards for the practice of medicine and ensuring that doctors who practice in the Commonwealth are appropriately qualified and competent. The Board investigates complaints and determines sanctions. More information is available at www.mass.gov/massmedboard, or you may contact the Board at borimmediamassmail.state.ma.us.
