He manages a group of more than 70 physicians and advanced practice providers who provide value-based patient care in privately-owned primary care offices across the Southeast.

Dr. Farley founded Birmingham Internal Medicine Associates (BIMA), one of the area’s largest and most respected primary care groups.
