Southwest Medical Associates is an independent multispecialty primary care group. The founding staff physicians have been in the community for many years and have over 30 years of combined experience. We are a group of individuals who feel the best way to take care of patients is to treat them in the way that we would like ourselves and our family to be treated by health-care professionals. Informing our patients of their choices for medical care in a manner that is based on the highest professional standards is our goal. We feel that making the patient involved as much as possible in their care will help us to achieve excellent quality of care. We believe that comprehensive management of patients with proper preventive care, current diagnostic methods, and best treatment methods will support the patient's journey to optimal well-being and productivity for home and work. We believe that the use of medical technology can help us to achieve that goal for our patient care. We believe that we can improve the quality of care in our community through innovative care and leadership. We believe that continual monitoring of our performance can help to achieve high standards of care.
