our history
 |
Dr. Frederick Facey began practicing medicine in the San Fernando Valley in 1923. Facey chose to hang his shingle on a small building on Brand Boulevard in San Fernando. What started as a little storefront practice became a career spanning 33 years of practicing medicine, ultimately resulting in what now exists as Facey Medical Group. |
|||||
 |
1933 - The Facey Family Grows Well-entrenched in his practice, but desiring to build something even better, Dr. Facey gradually took on partners. Dr. Facey practiced medicine by himself for approximately ten years before Dr. Sudlow came on the scene in 1933. The two were joined by Dr. Seiter in 1937, and Drs. Goetschel and Warren shortly thereafter. These men not only spent time in private practice, but also were well-known caregivers at the only inpatient facility in the area, The San Fernando Hospital. |
|||||
 |
1950s - Expansion Early in the 1950s, Dr. Facey realized the need for expansion and opened a new facility at 417 South Brand Boulevard with enough space for everyone including doctors and patients. Dr. Goetschel remembered those "early years" posed quite a challenge. The "wonder drug," penicillin, was not yet on the market, and so many times, there was little a physician could do for patients beside offer suggestions on how to make them comfortable. Frequently Dr. Goetschel booked his own appointments, and he made house calls almost every night. After Drs. Williamson, Cobert, Doyle, and Breen joined Facey in the late '50s, these talented young physicians became the backbone of the Facey Medical Group practice. They established a reputation by providing good care and caring service. |
