Olean Medical Group (OMG) has been servicing patients of all ages in Olean, NY & the surrounding areas since 1948. With their recent merge with Kaleida Health, they now have even more resources at their fingertips, in addition to over 73 years of experience and professional care in the region. Their pediatric and family doctors and specialists provide an array of services offering comprehensive care to meet patients’ needs. Every doctor, nurse practitioner, registered physician assistants and other physicians at OMG have had years of studying, practice and training in their specialties, making them trusted skilled professionals in their area of care.
Dr. Bill Cihak is a specialist of Internal Medicine and has been with the Olean Medical Group for over 22 years. He grew up in South Buffalo/Orchard Park and is a graduate of New York Medical College, with Internship and Residency at Yale University/Greenwich Hospital. Dr. Cihak worked for 2 years at a small practice in Connecticut, then found his way back to the Olean/Ellicottville area. He is proud to be a part of the Olean Medical Group, offering unparalleled medical care in the region. “We are truly invested in your care. We are on the journey with you, striving to provide the best possible care. When something happens to you, it happens to us.”
The practice came about as a result of 3 gentlemen getting together with the common goal to provide good medical care in the Olean region. While serving in World War II, the three doctors witnessed firsthand a different delivery of healthcare in Europe. It was their vision to bring that same healthcare to this area. The original building was located on the corner of East Henley Street and South Union Street in Olean. Now, 73+ years later, the practice has grown to 20+ physicians, around 20 nurse practitioners and physicians’ assistants and numerous specialists in 6 offices encompassing 28 miles from the main office in Olean. Satellite offices include Cuba, Ellicottville, Franklinville and Salamanca. They continue to operate with the same vision and mission as when OMG originated many years ago – “To provide for our patients, the best medical care, with dignity, compassion and respect.”
At Olean Medical Group, not only do you receive personalized medical care from some of the best professionals in the area, you also have specialists available within the same practice. They are able to provide patients with fluent transition to specialists in their practice, including allergy specialists, Cardiologists and heart doctors, gynecology and pregnancy doctors, internal medicine specialists, pediatric doctors, pediatric cardiologists, foot doctors and podiatrists, pulmonology specialists and rheumatology doctors.
“We are able to best serve our patients by having several major specialists under one roof. It’s not uncommon that we walk the halls with our patients to bring them to another doctor/specialist with questions or concerns. This vibrant communication allows us to provide the best treatment for our patients.”
“We are a unique group of individuals at Olean Medical Group, each with our own area of expertise yet all with the common goal to provide the best patient care. We are a team together aiming to create a plan of care for each patient we treat. We are invested in your care. It is our honor to care for our patients, giving them hope and helping them live their best possible lives.”
At the end of the day, Dr. Bill reminds us that “sometimes laughter is the best medicine”. He aims to provide professional care while remaining relatable to each patient.
