University Internists History

University Internists at 550 Harrison St. was opened in the spring of 1986 with one physician, one RN and one support staff. By the fall of 1986 it had quickly grown to three physicians and five exam rooms. Today, we have seven physicians, one nurse practitioner and 14 exam rooms. We are supported by a practice manager, a nursing staff of seven, and a clerical staff of seven. We are a teaching site for residents and medical students.

Our scope of practice includes patients from 16 years of age through geriatrics. Some of our current patients have been with us since our doors opened. In addition to providing primary care, our physicians have additional training in osteoporosis, diabetes, coronary artery disease, COPD, hypertension, obesity, women's health and palliative care. We are currently taking new patients. To make an appointment, please contact us at 315 464-6527.
