UBMD Primary Care began in Western New York in 1969 and has evolved into a multi-site group that sees over 100,000 visits per year. Our group currently runs four primary care medical offices, a specialty Addiction Medicine office, staffs a hospital-run office, and follows patients in local hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. As an academic practice, our senior physicians are all board-certified family physicians and faculty in the Department of Family Medicine at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. In addition to providing health care at our offices, our physicians teach and supervise family medicine residents, medical students, nurses, and other health professionals. Many faculty and staff members are also heavily involved in medical research striving to continuously improve health care to our community. UBMD Primary Care is nationally recognized as a model of patient-centered health care. We are dedicated to continuously improving our care through tracking the quality of our care, implementing new models of team approaches to care, pro-active planned care of chronic diseases, increased collaboration and communication with engaged patients, community networking, and use of new technologies as they become available. Based in the Department of Family Medicine, the Primary Care Research Institute (PCRI) brings together clinicians, health services researchers and other experts to address the common but complex issues surrounding contemporary health care. Our transdisciplinary institute pursues a dynamic agenda of clinical and health services research designed to benefit patients, inform policy, and enhance health systems. Over more than two decades, the PCRI has been recognized as a leader in primary care research whose projects have both local and national impact. UBMD Primary Care is part of UBMD Physicians’ Group, the single largest medical group in Western New York.
