We established an urgent care facility, University Health and Urgent Care, in Passaic County in 2019. We did this because we strongly believe in providing a comprehensive approach to patient care. This facility provides individuals with a one-stop medical practice. Patients can be diagnosed and treated appropriately, and receive quality referrals for surgical support, when needed.

Our Core Values

Committed to providing quality care in the most compassionate and responsible manner possible, the physicians and staff at APM all live by a set of core values that act as our moral compass in everything we do. The values we live by are:

• Display professionalism at all times;
• Act with integrity – Always;
• Show respect – to the patients, medical staff, nurses, administration and each other;
• Proactively communicate;
• Strive for excellence in everything you do;
• Be accountable; and
• Embrace teamwork and collaboration for the good of medicine and the patient.

Our History

APM was formed in 1993 when six of our physicians joined together to provide anesthesiology services to a northern NJ hospital. By 1998, we recognized a growing trend toward surgical care within ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and office-based practices, along with the need for dependable, high quality anesthesia and pain management services. Our diverse skills and training proved highly valuable to these practices who appreciate that we always make patient safety and satisfaction a priority, and work diligently to ensure a superior clinical outcome.

A few of our major achievements include:

• Two of our physicians have been named multiple times as a “New Jersey Top Doctor” by New Jersey Monthly magazine
• Consistently achieve a satisfaction rate of greater than 98% in patient satisfaction surveys conducted by individual ASCs
• Doubled in size since 1992, nearly exclusively as a result of our reputation, not external marketing
• Maintain a near zero percent turnover rate
• Our physicians are frequently invited to sit on various leadership, planning, and operational committees. We have a reputation for being proactive, collaborative, and innovative.
• Added and maintain a pain management division with three full-time, fellowship-trained, board certified pain management specialists on staff
• Recognized as having one of the highest patient safety records in the area

In addition, APM has established perioperative anesthesia service divisions at nine ASCs plus new pain management centers at four ASCs in the past ten years. All of these centers are thriving. Being approached by these centers to set up their departments speaks to the exceptional reputation of our physicians and our practice.
