CVMG stands for Canyon View Medical Group. This company was started in 1997 through the merger of Spanish Fork Clinic and Art City Family Medical Center. We are a group of primary care physicians in three specialties: family practice, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. We believe in growing to meet community medical needs in southern Utah County and appropriately have offices in Springville, Spanish Fork, two offices in Payson, and an office in Santaquin. We currently have 20 doctors and 6 midlevel providers. We try to make it as easy as possible for patients to take care of their medical needs without having to travel to laboratories or radiology centers by having x-ray, lab, ultrasound, and other diagnostic services at our major sites. We are open evenings and Saturdays at our two major locations. Our doctors believe in maintaining an independent practice, in which they are able to determine the types of services we offer, insurances we accept, and types of facilities to maintain.  Our doctors have been asked by insurance companies to serve on local and national panels to help them develop appropriate care practices. They work hard to ensure that insurance plans properly meet patient health needs and cover procedures that are important to patients.  
     Our doctors and employees are very active in their communities. Many of our doctors serve on chambers of commerce, rotary clubs, and other service organizations. They are also heavily involved in Boy Scouts of America. They are major sponsors of the Nebo School District Foundation and have helped provide hundreds of thousands of dollars for scholarships for students attending colleges of their choice. 
    At CVMG, we desire to help patients stay healthy. Doctors are very interested in helping patients maintain good health. They believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  To help better aid patients in staying healthy, they currently use an electronic health record, which prompts them about what sorts of preventive measure each individual patient ought to be taking in order to ensure patient health. That way, at every visit the doctor can remind patients of those steps they should be taking to stay healthy. The doctor may use this system to call and remind you of certain health milestones that may be approaching for you. Because we are all have electronic health record, no matter which doctor you see on any given visit, we will be able to properly see what has been done in the past and ensure you are receiving the best care possible.

    Calling the clinic is most often the best way to reach your doctor. Since we are on electronic medical records, each time you call the office, the person taking the call actually logs your message in your medical record. They then send a task to your doctor or nurse to respond to your request. Be aware that doctors always take care of patients being seen that day before they get to their messages. And often they will not see those messages until the end of the work day; therefore, we ask that you expect to receive an answer within 24 hours. Please note, if your doctor is not available/in, the message (if urgent) will be sent to the on-call physician.

AFTERHOURS?
   All of our doctors belong to a call group in which a doctor will “take call” for the rest of the doctors in his group and is available after hours to handle patient emergencies. If you call any one of our offices after hours, you will be able to receive a phone number you can call to reach the appropriate physician.
