Welcome to CRMA!
About CRMA
Charles River Medical Associates was formed in 1995 to serve the Metro West Community. We are a group of physicians
(internists, pediatricians, and specialists) committed to providing you with the highest quality of care. We believe that
quality health care starts with your own personal physician who will coordinate all of your health needs. We prefer to work
with trusted specialists in our local community … specialists who not only provide excellent care, but also communicate well
with our physicians and office staff to ensure smooth coordination of your care. |
About Our Community
The Metro West community is blessed with a location near some of this country's best teaching hospitals. Many of our local
specialist physicians trained at these facilities. Thus, our community hospitals (Metrowest Medical Center, Marlboro Hospital)
have better access to specialty care than community hospitals in other parts of the country. We think our local hospitals and
specialists are excellent and try to keep our patients local when possible. For situations that require very specialized medical
expertise, our affiliated tertiary facilities, Massachusetts General Hospital Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, are
only 40 minutes away. |
About Partners HealthCare
CRMA is a member of Partners Healthcare. Partners Healthcare is the parent organization for Mass. General Hospital and Brigham
and Women's Hospital. We try to refer most of our highly specialized cases, especially cardiac cases, to one of these institutions.
MGH and BWH are the primary teaching hospitals for Harvard Medical School and they are world-renowned in many specialties.
CRMA's affiliation with Partners Healthcare results in enhanced access and better PCP-to-specialist communication for our patients. |
About our Website
You can find detailed information about our offices and physicians on this website. If you're a new patient to CRMA, please read
the "Common Questions" section. Some of our physicians also communicate online with their patients. We offer online referrals,
prescription refills, email, and "Web Visits" for selected physicians. A "web visit" is an online office visit; you fill out a detailed online
form describing your problem and the physician then takes action based on the information you provided. Action could be anything
from a referral, to a new prescription, to a diet recommendation. If you have a non-urgent medical issue and don't want to make a
trip to the office, then do a Web Visit. To access any of our online communication, go to your physician's home page and look for the
hyperlinks under their phone number. If there aren't any hyperlinks, then your physician doesn't participate in the online functions. |
