UR Medicine's Approach
As part of UR Medicine, we work closely with top specialists in the area, and offer the latest technology and facilities, as well as advanced online tools. Our physicians are active in teaching and research, ensuring that you receive the best treatment and prevention for your health needs.
We help our patients enjoy the very best health with a patient-centered approach to care. Not only will you partner with your physician to identify treatment options, but with each visit we will also seek your feedback on the care you received and helpfulness of our staff.
What Sets Us Apart?
Each of our doctors is supported by one or more Care Managers—highly experienced registered nurses who are able to work with you on an ongoing basis to help with issues like losing weight or controlling high blood sugar.
Our doctors are also supported by the area's most advanced medical records system. As a result, they are able to track health issues more effectively and contact you when needed—for example, when you are overdue for a mammogram or a colonoscopy. With these people and systems in place, we are making it possible for our care providers to spend more time with patients.
This approach is also helping us to attract the best and brightest doctors—doctors who are excited about the opportunity to have a bigger impact on the health of their patients.
Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award
UR Medicine Primary Care is a three-time recipient of the Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award!
The UR Primary Care Network has earned Press Ganey’s Guardian of Excellence Award, ranking in the top 5 percent for Patient Experience in care delivery compared with similar programs across the country for the third consecutive year. This nationally recognized symbol of achievement in health care is awarded annually to Press Ganey clients who have sustained patient satisfaction scores in the 95th percentile or higher for a full year.
"Consistently exceeding patient expectations is a tall order for a primary care network of our scope and size," said UR Medicine Primary Care Provider Wallace E. Johnson, M.D. "This award is evidence of our team’s commitment to understanding and serving the needs of each and every patient who entrusts us with their care. Patient experience is critical to quality improvement and earning this recognition affirms our progress in this area and inspires us to become even better."
