Earlier this month, Ithaca Plastic Surgery joined Cayuga Medical Associates (CMA), a member of Cayuga Health. The practice has been renamed to Cayuga Plastic Surgery and brings a new specialty into the CMA family of practices.
“Medical practice in the U.S. has evolved away from independent private medical practices toward an employed model,” stated David Monacelli, MD. “The advantages of this system include economies of scale, better access to health information, easier assessment of quality measures, and smoother coordination of care.” Monacelli opened Ithaca Plastic Surgery on February 13, 1995.
“Cayuga Health is very pleased to have this practice join CMA and to support these important services to our patients,” stated Jeff Penoyer, Chief Operating Officer for CMA, “We are adding patient services such as a patient portal, as well.”
Cayuga Plastic Surgery will remain at its current location, 22 Brentwood Drive, Suite B and maintain its current telephone number, (607) 266-0483.
what our patients are saying
“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. “
“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 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.”
“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!!”
