Our New Chief Medical Officer and Quality of Care

Dr.CarrollWelcome to Dr. Patrick Carroll, our new Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Carroll is a Family Practice physician with experience in adolescent medicine. Dr. Carroll grew up in Duxbury and attended Dartmouth Medical School.

As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Carroll will be focused on measuring and assuring the quality of care delivered by all care providers at Granite Medical. There is so much attention today on health care costs that it's good to know Granite Medical's Chief Medical Officer is focused on quality as well.

How Quality of Care is Measured

There are certain aspects of care that indicate a higher level of quality. For example, recommending colonoscopies for our patients over 50 helps with early detection of cancer. If a practice routinely orders colonoscopies for this patient group, that is one indicator of a high level of quality care. Why colonoscopies are important.

Granite Medical monitors a number of other quality measures to ensure that we provide the very best care to you. Granite Medical care professionals traditionally perform much better than our peers in many quality measures, so you know you are in good hands.

Accepting New Patients

We hear reports of how difficult it is to find a primary care provider. Granite Medical has several providers, both male and female, who are accepting new patients.  If a loved one, friend, colleague, or community member mentions they are looking for a primary care provider, feel free to refer them to us. They can become a patient online or by calling us at 617-471-0033.

If you have Russian-speaking friends or relatives, Granite Medical Cardiologist, Dr. Leon Shturman, is a native Russian.
