LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - October 9, 2008) -
Canyon
Gate Medical Group, a primary care physician group providing
personalized and comprehensive care, has opened in Las Vegas.
Canyon Gate Medical Group is part of
Outcome Based Delivery Systems (OBDS),
the owner of a preeminent medical practice in South Florida. As
demonstrated in that market, Canyon Gate will redefine patient care with
the company's proven model of providing high-quality, high-touch,
personalized healthcare.
"We believe Southern Nevada residents deserve to have a doctor who knows
them and is there when they call," said
Dr. Eric Moskow, MD,
CEO of OBDS. "We are committed to providing our patients with the finest
physicians in an un-hurried, personal atmosphere. Our high-touch patient
care is perhaps old fashioned, but we have found that this approach results
in significantly higher patient satisfaction, higher quality healthcare and
lower overall medical costs."
The cornerstone of Canyon Gate's mission to provide high quality,
cost-effective healthcare is based on more frequent and regular interaction
between the patients and physicians, enabling discovery and treatment of
health-related problems early. "The additional time spent on the front end
through more frequent visits, which enable primary care physicians to focus
on keeping people healthy, early detection and treatment; significantly
reduces downstream costs to patients typically incurred in the emergency
room, through specialists and hospital stays," added Bryan Dieter,
Executive Vice President with OBDS.
Canyon Gate physicians limit the number of patients they see to ensure
ongoing personalized healthcare and attention, including same-day
appointments; minimal wait times; and serving the role of a personal
medical director for ER visits, hospital stays and specialist care.
Canyon Gate has plans to have
12 offices around the Las Vegas area; its
first two offices
already are open across from Sunrise Hospital (3101 South Maryland Pkwy,
Ste. 100A; 702-262-1130) and next to Southern Hills Hospital (9280 W.
Sunset Road, Ste. 300; 702.262.0124). Opening soon, its third office will
be located at 3960 West Craig Road in North Las Vegas. Initially, offices
