Urology Practice Partnership To Bring State-Of-The-Art Program To The Berkshires
PITTSFIELD - With a shared commitment to bring the best clinical care possible to the communities they serve, Berkshire Health Systems and Northern Berkshire Healthcare, in collaboration with the four Urologists practicing in the Berkshires, have embarked upon a plan to redesign the manner in which urological services are provided locally.Beginning March 1, 2008, the two long-standing urology practices in Berkshire County will become a single physician practice under Berkshire Health Systems, providing urological services to patients throughout Berkshire County and establishing the foundation for a comprehensive, state-of-the-art urology program. Under this plan, David T. Noyes, MD and Paul R. Silverstein, MD will join Stephen R. St. Clair, MD and Arthur F. Turton, MD to form Urology Services of the Berkshires, under the leadership of Dr. St. Clair.
"We are excited about the opportunity our new group will provide to enhance and coordinate urologic services in Berkshire County," said Dr. St. Clair. "We anticipate this will also assist in drawing new urologists to the area, bringing additional urologic skills to our community."
Urology Services of the Berkshires will continue to provide care through the existing physician offices in Pittsfield and North Adams, as well as at Berkshire Medical Center and North Adams Regional Hospital. This new physician practice has plans to improve access to urological services for residents of the Berkshires through the recruitment of additional urology specialists and to expand services to meet community needs.
Dr. Stephen St. Clair received his medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Science and completed his residency training at Wilford Hall U.S. Air Force Medical Center in Texas. He has served in the Berkshires since 1993.
Dr. Arthur Turton received his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and completed residency training at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. He began practicing in the Berkshires in 1979.
