New Location and New Possibilities Coming Soon to Farmington

If you happen to find yourself stopped at the traffic light on Route 332 at Farmbrook Drive/Carmens Way, you might notice a flurry of activity at a new building just north of the Cobblestone Arts Center.

It’s the future home of Thompson’s Farmington OB/GYN practice and our Farmington Family Medicine primary care location. Workers are busy getting it ready for its opening in early August. Designed by Rozzi Architects, the Farmington Medical Group project is led by Genesee Construction. As of early March, drywall installation was nearly complete.

“The project is on schedule and the workmanship is outstanding,” said Thompson Health Director of Facility Services Jim Dietz. The 10,000- square-foot space features 17 exam rooms and an ultrasound room.

Dr. Morgan Paul noted that for patients of Farmington Family Medicine – currently located on Route 96 – it will mean access to an updated medical facility for the first time in 30 years, as well as access to additional providers as the practice fills the space.

“As the only provider currently at Farmington Family Medicine, I look forward to collaborating with other providers,” Dr. Paul said, noting both primary care and OB-GYN providers are expected to join. “This will improve access to care for women and children in the area, and maintain men’s health. For a young growing community, this is essential.”

The OB/GYN practice has been housed for many years at the Thompson Medical Center on Corporate Drive in Farmington. When the staff relocate, they will have not only more space but an ultrasound suite, a procedure room, and a lactation room for breastfeeding mothers.

“I, for one, am excited about all of the new opportunities we have to offer – on-site ultrasound being the most exciting,” said Dr. Jillian Babu, noting there is also the potential for the future addition of a gynecologic laser. The laser would make it possible for the OB-GYN providers at the location to offer alternative treatments for women with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and a skin condition called lichen sclerosus, for which post-menopausal women are at higher risk.

Follow Thompson on social media for photos of the progress, and stay tuned this summer for details about a community open house!
