UBMD Internal Medicine

What UBMD Internal Medicine does

UBMD Internal Medicine is a multi-specialty academic internal medicine practice headquartered in Amherst, New York, operating 14 hospital and outpatient locations throughout Western New York. Founded in 1994, the practice employs 135 physicians and approximately 182 support staff, organized across 11 primary care and subspecialty divisions including General Internal Medicine/Adult Primary Care, Allergy/Immunology & Rheumatology, Behavioral Medicine, Cardiovascular Medicine (with cardiac electrophysiology and interventional/TAVR capabilities), Endocrinology/Diabetes & Metabolism, Gastroenterology/Hepatology & Nutrition, Geriatrics & Palliative Medicine, Hematology & Oncology, Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine & Pediatrics (Med-Peds), Nephrology, and Pulmonology/Critical Care & Sleep Medicine.

Every physician is a faculty member at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, fulfilling a triple mission of clinical care, medical education (training residents and fellows through the UB Department of Medicine), and clinical research. The practice is one of 16 medical practices within the UBMD Physicians' Group, the practice plan for the UB medical school faculty, and maintains formal affiliations with Buffalo General Medical Center, Erie County Medical Center, the Buffalo VA Medical Center, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Gates Vascular Center, and Golisano Children's Hospital.

Revenue is generated through professional services billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay across in-person visits, hospital-based services, and the UBMD CareConnect telemedicine platform. The technology stack includes Allscripts, CGM (GPMSWEB), the FollowMyHealth patient portal, KARDIA PRO (AI-assisted ECG), the QUEST portal, and the WNY HEALTHeNET/HEALTHeLINK health information exchange. The practice holds NCQA patient-centered medical home recognition, and individual physicians have earned Castle Connolly Top Doctors and U.S. News & World Report Top Doctors designations. Recent leadership appointments include a new COO (2020), a Director of Revenue Cycle Administration (June 2025), and a Director of Human Resources (October 2025), indicating ongoing operational professionalization rather than expansion.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Buffalo Medical Group: Multi-specialty physician group practice headquartered in Western New York offering primary care and a similar set of sub-specialties including cardiology, gastroenterology, and endocrinology. Direct competitor for patients, physicians, and hospital referrals across the same Buffalo geography.
• General Physician, PC: Western New York multi-specialty physician group providing primary care, cardiology, hematology/oncology, and other internal medicine subspecialties. A current UBMD affiliate in cardiology and oncology but also a direct competitor for specialist referrals in the same market.
• Trinity Medical WNY (Trinity Health): Multi-specialty physician group operating across Western New York under Trinity Health, providing primary care and a range of internal medicine subspecialties in direct competition with UBMD IM for community patients and employed physicians.

Broad incumbents

• Kaleida Health: Largest Western New York health system operating Buffalo General Medical Center and other hospitals. Functions simultaneously as a major UBMD IM partner (co-located services) and as a competitor that employs physicians directly across overlapping specialties.
• Catholic Health (Buffalo): Regional Western New York health system that operates hospitals and an employed physician network spanning primary care, cardiology, and oncology. Competes with UBMD IM for both patients and specialist physicians in the same service area.
• Mass General Brigham Physicians Organization: Faculty practice plan for Harvard Medical School physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Comparable to UBMD IM in operating model (multi-specialty, academic, hospital-integrated) but vastly larger in scale and national brand.

Regional players

• Rochester Regional Health: Upstate New York multi-specialty integrated delivery network operating primary care and internal medicine subspecialties. Comparable to UBMD IM in scale and academic-adjacent orientation, but headquartered in a different upstate metro and not directly competing in the same geography.

Others

• UBMD Physicians' Group: Parent practice plan of UB's medical school faculty, encompassing 16 practices including UBMD Internal Medicine. The structural and operational parent — comparable in mission and governance but broader in scope, covering pediatrics, surgery, orthopaedics, and other departments.

Emerging players

• Privia Health Group: National multi-specialty physician enablement platform supporting independent and affiliated practices with technology, value-based contracts, and population-health tools. Comparable to UBMD IM in operating as a multi-specialty physician organization but differentiated by national scale and tech platform orientation.
• Oak Street Health (CVS Health): Value-based primary care platform focused on senior patients with chronic conditions, now part of CVS Health. Comparable to UBMD IM's geriatrics and chronic-disease management segments in care model and patient population, though delivered through a national, payer-aligned model rather than a regional academic one.
