By merging their practices, they were able to realize the benefits of a physician-owned multi-specialty group practice to improve the quality of medical care received by patient. As the group grew larger, they moved their facility to its current location on Burrstone Road in New Hartford, NY. Today, the group employs over 100 providers and 500 staff members.
