Dryden Family Medicine to join Cayuga Medical Associates in June

DRYDEN, N.Y. — Dryden Family Medicine will become part of Cayuga Medical Associates (CMA) as of June 1.

The new practice will be re-named Cayuga Primary Care Family Medicine Dryden, per a Cayuga Health news release, which didn’t include any financial terms of the agreement.

By joining forces with Cayuga Medical Associates, Dryden Family Medicine will leverage the resources, technology, and collaborative environment offered by Cayuga Health.

“We are pleased to welcome the providers and staff of Dryden Family Medicine — already a Cayuga Health partner — to the CMA family,” Dr. Martin Stallone, president and CEO of Cayuga Health, said. “We look forward to working with them to extend their long and storied history of serving the Dryden area.”

Dryden Family Medicine has been a part of the Dryden community since Dr. John Ferger started his practice at his home in 1955, Cayuga Health said. Drs. Howard Silcoff and Mason Sopchak currently lead the practice.

“We have worked closely with CMA and Cayuga Health System (CHS) for many years already, and believe strongly in their expertise, their desire to provide the high-quality care to all of us in this area, and their ability to help us move forward and keep our practice sustainable,” Silcoff said.

Patients shouldn’t see much change, as the 5 Evergreen St. location and contact information for providers remain the same. The organizations will transition medical records to Cayuga Medical Associates, unless patients request a records transfer.
