SPHPMA Primary Care Practices Recognized for Exceptional Care

Troy Internal Medicine has been named the top internal medicine practice in the Capital Region by CDPHP as part of its Top Doctors Report for 2023. Several other St. Peter’s Health Partners Medical Associates primary care practices were also recognized for delivering outstanding care.

The Top Doctors Report is a comprehensive list of the area’s most trusted and top-performing primary care practices that have met CDPHP’s rigorous standards for high-quality care and superior customer service. The list is meant to serve as a tool to help patients make the most informed decisions about their health care.

As part of the recognition, CDPHP featured Troy Internal Medicine and two of its physicians — Dr. Charles Sulzman and Dr. Kristen Santos — in a video shown during the Top Doctors reception held Nov. 1 at the Hilton Garden Inn.

St. Peter’s Health Partners would like to recognize the practices below, along with the practice managers, providers, and staff who have all contributed to this great accolade. Congratulations to everyone, and thank you for your fierce dedication and tireless work!
