In 1980, Dr. Jameson Chassin, Chairman of the Department of Surgery formed a personal corporation with two senior attending surgeons, Dr. James Turner and Dr. Kenneth Rifkind. The corporation, CRT, was named for its founders: Chassin, Rifkind & Turner.
Subsequently, physicians have been added to the practice with privileges in various specialties. We currently plan for continued growth to help us best meet patient needs as well as achieve our ongoing quest for quality improvement.
