Beaver Medical Group's New Banning Office Opened August 21, 2006

 

	On August 21, 2006, Beaver Medical Group opened its new Banning Primary Care Center located next to the existing facility on Ramsey Street. "The new Primary Care Center has been designed from the ground up to optimize patient access and service," said John Goodman, Administrator. Nurses and physicians work together in care teams using a new "advanced access" system. Patients speak directly to their physicians' nurses who can quickly book appointments. Same-day and next-day appointments are often scheduled. If a patient's personal physician is not available at a convenient time, the patient may choose to see another member of the same care team. In addition, a Patient Representative is located on-site to provide orientations, help patients choose a physician, and answer questions about the services and staff. Most of the Banning internal medicine, family medicine and pediatric providers moved to the new Primary Care Center at 5957 W. Ramsey Street. " We have cosmopolitan care in a rural setting . The Beaver doctors in Banning have come to Southern California from all over North America, and in some cases the world; bringing state of the art knowledge and expertise, at the same time as providing patient oriented, personal care," said Darlene Rae, MD of Banning. With the population in the Banning area growing rapidly, Beaver Medical Group has also recruited several new primary care physicians.Healthcare providers work together in the following teams: Team 1: Jill Cuni, MD - Pediatrics Glenda Yetter, NP - Pediatrics Team 2: Sherif Khalil, MD - Internal Medicine Susan Tarter, NP - Family Medicine Team 3: Omar Bashir, DO - Internal Medicine Mamdooh Gayid, MD - Internal Medicine Moses Park, MD - Internal Medicine (begins 10/2/06) Team 4: Howard Green, MD - Family Medicine; Irada Dalili, MD - Family Medicine (begins 9/18/06) Kim Bennett, PA - Family Medicine Team 5: Darlene Rae, MD - Family Medicine; Zakia Raana, MD - Family Medicine Susan Pak, PA - Family Medicine Christer Joreteg, MD and Ting Wu, MD continue to practice at the 6109 W. Ramsey Street facility. The existing Beaver Medical Group facility at 6109 W. Ramsey Street is expanding specialty services. Even though Beaver Medical Group is the largest multi-specialty practice in the area, Dermatology and Urology specialists will join the Banning office in fall. In addition, more specialties are expected in the near future. Banning already has Cardiology, General Surgery, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, and Pulmonology specialists. The Extended Care Center will also remain at the existing facility. It is open to walk-in patients Monday-Friday from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. To celebrate the opening of the new Primary Care Center, Beaver Medical Group plans to host a Grand Opening Event with a health fair, food, tours and activities for kids on Saturday, October 7, 2006.

"This design has worked very well at other locations and we are eager for the patients and physicians in the Banning and Beaumont communities to be able to enjoy the benefits of this unique service model," said Goodman. The phone number for both facilities in Banning is (951) 845-0313.
