Cayuga Medical Associates

From Our Chief Operating Officer

When we opened our doors at Cayuga Medical Associates in 2006, our goal was to provide exemplary patient care. As partners with Cayuga Medical Center and Schuyler Hospital, we share its mission to keep our patients at the center of what we do. The result has been the growth of an outstanding group of primary care and specialty physicians who are passionate about health care and who are committed to their patients and to the community as a whole. Our physicians work as a team with an experienced group of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and staff to provide easily accessible, patient-focused care in a welcoming and comfortable setting.

Cayuga Medical Associates comprises several different medical and surgical specialties. The diversity of practitioners within CMA enables us to provide prompt specialist referrals and facilitates communication among our caregivers and patients. Our collaboration with Cayuga Medical Center, Schuyler Hospital, and their affiliates gives us the additional advantage of swift referrals to world-class tertiary care centers when patients must travel out of town.

Cayuga Medical Associates has twenty-two practices conveniently located across Tompkins, Cortland, and Schuyler Counties. Our patients can receive the highest quality care right here, close to home.

On behalf of all of us at Cayuga Medical Associates, thank you for choosing us for your care.

what our patients are saying

“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”

“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”

“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”

“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
