History of group / practice:

In 1910 Dr. Donald Guthrie brought the multi-specialty group practice model to Sayre, PA, from the Mayo Clinic where he performed his surgical residency.

These core values inform all our endeavors as we pursue our vision of improving health through clinical excellence and compassion; every person, every time.

This way, physicians and their support staff can provide the very best care for patients with the greatest degree of ease and efficiency.
