Dr. Sang Focuses On
Preventative Medicine At
SSM Health Medical Group
At the Big Bend location of SSM Health Medical
Group, Tuyche Sang, M.D., takes a holistic approach
to internal medicine for patients 18 years of age and
older.
She joined the practice in 2017. Dr. Sang is board
certified in internal medicine and has medical
interests in preventative medicine, women’s health,
diabetes and hypertension.
“I love my role as a primary care doctor because it
allows me to focus on preventative medicine,
empower my patients and provide continuous,
personalized care,” Dr. Sang said.
The practice was developed to expand SSM
Health’s exceptional health care services to those
who live and work in Webster Groves, Kirkwood,
Crestwood and surrounding areas. The practice is
well supported by a strong network of specialists for
patients who need referrals. Additional specialties
and other health services are located nearby at SSM
Health St. Clare Hospital.
The practice is fully electronic with electronic
records and MyChart. Patients can ask questions, see
test results, request appointments and prescription
refills. The physicians use this technology to better
connect with specialists, patients and to better
manage patients’ needs.

Range Of Eyecare At
Kirkwood Eye Associates
Although Dr. Andrew Biondo, O.D., has been
practicing in the St. Louis area since 2010, in 2015,
he opened his own practice in his hometown of
Kirkwood.
Kirkwood Eye Associates offers the full scope of
eye care, including contact lenses, glasses, the LASIK
procedure and cataract, glaucoma and macular
degeneration care. The practice specializes in dry eye
disease and scleral contact lens fittings.
“Eye care is a rapidly evolving specialty with new
challenges that are met with new treatment options,”
Biondo said. “Myopia, or near-sightedness, has
increased 66 percent in the past three decades and
continues to rise. People who are myopic have a
higher risk of developing conditions such as glaucoma
and retinal detachments.”
The office now offers orthokeratology, which stops
the progression of myopia and allows the formerly
nearsighted to see all day without glasses or contact
lenses.
Biondo finds satisfaction in helping his patients
maximize and protect their vision.
“It’s extremely rewarding to watch patients light
up when they are able to appreciate details in the
world around them like never before,” he said.
Patient Jenny N. followed Biondo from his
previous practice “because of his professionalism and
patience,” she said. “He’s happy to take the time to
discuss any concerns I may have.”
