Education
Dr. Sudbury earned his medical degree from University of Miami, in Miami, Florida in 2000 and was honored with the Jeffrey J. Goldenberg Memorial Award for Obstetrics and Gynecology. He completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Western Pennsylvania Hospital, Temple University Campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and received the Berlex Best Teaching Resident Award in 2002.
In 2004, Dr. Sudbury opened his private practice, Aaron Sudbury, MD, P.A. in Bradenton, Florida. Two years later, he acknowledged the community’s growing need for quality OB/GYN health care and in January 2006 he opened Premier OB/GYN Associates, PLLC with plans for expansion.
Dr. Sudbury's Practice
With Dr. Sudbury at the helm, the practice has continued to grow and evolve. In 2006, an additional physician was added and the early adoption of an electronic medical record system was implemented. That was only the beginning. As the practice grew, Dr. Sudbury built a new medical facility and in 2008, the practice moved into its current location in Bradenton. Striving for quality in health care, an additional expansion took place in 2011 that provided a dedicated radiology department as well as a specially designed in-patient procedure area. The addition of a sophisticated medical software system allowed patients to feel more involved in their care as well as giving the physicians timely communication options with their patients and their primary care physicians. Now with three additional physicians, Dr. Sudbury hopes that more patients will be able to receive the personalized quality care they deserve.
