Wright State Physicians recently constructed a new medical building at Wright State University, providing an accessible medical center for WSU students, faculty and staff. The new facility is also a large convenience to the local community, serving members of the Montgomery, Clark and Greene county residential areas.
Patients now have access to physicians practicing diverse areas of medicine, including: Family Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Dermatology, Orthopedic Surgery, Sports Medicine, Women’s Health Care, Rehabilitation and corporate offices, in addition to CompuNet Clinical Laboratories, an MRI facility managed by Miami Valley Hospital and a Wright Health Pharmacy. Wright Care, a clinic with extended hours, is also located in the building and open for business. Wright State Physicians are now seeing patients and have already received positive feedback.
Mark Riedel, father of two children, took his son Joey to an elbow specialist at the new facility after suffering a baseball injury. When asked about his experience, he said “Well, my surgeon is Dr. Herbenik, and he’s great. We went for a second opinion because the first doctor just didn’t seem to care. Never gave us a diagnosis, told us that therapy wasn’t an option. Just didn’t have time for us. WSP was totally the opposite. [Dr. Herbenik] took a long time with Joey and determined exactly what was wrong. He scheduled us for therapy and gave Joey hope that he’d return to baseball.”
The Wright State Physicians building spans three floors, 66,000 square feet and has a strong connection with Wright State University’s Boonshoft School of Medicine. WSU medical students will benefit from the opportunity to gain first-hand experience from research and training at the facility, a benefit of its close proximity. Margaret Dunn, M.D., M.B.A., Associate Dean at the Boonshoft School of Medicine and President and CEO of Wright State Physicians, has remarked, “The building opened ahead of schedule, and is an improved, more efficient place for patients to get the high-quality care they’re used to from our physicians.”
