Patient Demographics

With a population close to half a million people, our metropolitan area is the fourth largest in New York State. Our population includes rural, urban, and suburban groups. Major industry employers include Universities such as Syracuse University, Le Moyne College, and SUNY Health Sciences Center.

Our internal medicine based practice has access to approximately 10,000 adults ranging from healthy individuals to those compromised by a spectrum of chronic and acute diseases. Because we have the ability to recruit from our private practice, we know our patients personally--typically over many years. This gives our team the distinct advantage of providing high patient compliance.
