Yakima Urology Associates, PLLC

In October 1995, Yakima Urology Associates, PLLC was formed with the joining of Urology Associates of Yakima and Urology Clinic of Yakima. The founders of this Professional Limited Liability Corporation are:

Robert R. Newstead, M.D.

W. Jack Lovern, M.D.

Raymond W. Merrell, M.D.

Mark S. Uhlman, M.D.

Norman P. Shively, M.D.

Dennis M. Gaskill, M.D.

At the time of the formation, Dr. Raymond W. Merrell and Dr Norman P. Shively provided patient care services at 502 N 40th Ave Suite 1, Yakima, known as Urology Associates of Yakima. Urology Clinic of Yakima operated at 206 S 11th Ave Suite 48, Yakima, under the direction of Dr Robert R. Newstead, Dr W. Jack Lovern, Dr Mark S Uhlman and Dr Dennis M. Gaskill.

In March 1998, both practices moved to 111 S 11th Ave, Yakima, WA 98902, its current location, providing access for its patients to a new clinic and surgery center.

The purpose of uniting these Urology practices was to provide cohesive Urological health care to its patients and create economies of efficiency not only of its owners, but for the benefit of its customers, the patients. This goal has been achieved and is continually monitored and maintained by all owners and employee staff.

In June of 2009, Yakima Urology Associates moved to a new 31000 square foot Clinic and Surgery Center located at 2500 Racquet Lane. This state of the art facility provides top quality care to our patients. For a tour, see Our New Home section on this site (link)
