Hawthorn Medical Associates

Welcome

Hawthorn Medical's 535 Faunce Corner Road location was designed to enhance delivery of comprehensive medical care for our patients. Read more >>

Providing our patients with the finest medical care is a commitment that Hawthorn Medical Associates takes very seriously. We continually strive to enhance the range of medical specialties and services available to our patients. Hawthorn's primary care and specialty physicians are supported by a network of diagnostic and treatment services that are provided by skilled staff. When patients need an MRI, a colonoscopy, help managing a medical condition or other specialty services, Hawthorn Medical can conveniently meet that need locally rather than having our patients travel to a hospital or outside of the area.

Hawthorn Medical's affiliation with Partners Community Healthcare, Inc. and Partners HealthCare system ensures that our patients have access to the best local and regional care available. We are aligned with a number of prestigious institutions including Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital.

We have experienced tremendous growth in our more than 35 years in existence and have constructed a state-of-the-art facility on Faunce Corner Road. Our goal is for patients to receive the most comprehensive care in their own community, provided by physicians and support staff who are the best at what they do. We hope that this web site demonstrates that to you and provides the information you need.

Best of health,

About Our Practice

Dr. Clinton Levin, Founder

Hawthorn Medical Associates was founded in 1970 by two local physicians, Dr. Clinton Levin and Dr. Thomas Zipoli. Their vision was to provide a higher level of care for their patients while bringing physician specialists and services to the community that were not available at the time. Within the first year, physicians from outside the area came to this community to join the group, and specialty services, such as a kidney dialysis clinic, were added.

In the more than 35 years that have followed, this medical practice has continued to grow and now includes more than 60 of the area's most respected physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. These providers, who represent 14 medical specialties, are supported by state-of-the-art laboratory and diagnostic imaging services including x-ray, digital mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, MRI and CT scan. Patients also have access to Hawthorn Medical's specialty services—Hawthorn Cancer Center, Endoscopy Center, Diabetes Management Program, Coumadin Clinic, and Orthopedic & Arthritis Center.

Hawthorn Medical has made practice improvements through the use of a computer-based, electronic medical record system. The Longitudinal Medical Record (LMR) organizes all of a patient's medical information in a way that enhances the way providers and staff care for and communicate with patients.
