About Practice

Parkwood Medical Practice has been a staple in the Parkwood section of Northeast Philadelphia since the early 1970s. It was founded by Dr. Sidney Maletzky in the basement of the home adjacent to the current location of the practice in Parkwood Shopping Center. Dr. Hal Ganzman join the practice in 2001, and worked with Dr. Maletzky until his retirement in 2006. Dr. Ganzman has continued to grow the practice, treating multi generational families within the Parkwood area from children to geriatrics.

Parkwood Medical Practice became a member of Pinnacle Physicians Group in 2013 as one of its founding practices. Our practice is recognized for its delivery of primary care by regional insurance companies and has been recognized nationally by achieving  Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) status by the National Committee For Quality Assurance. The practice continues to grow with the addition of Dr. Carol Verdi, who is been part of our practice since 2008. We welcome new patients and look forward to treating patients and their families for both acute illnesses and all important preventative care.
