Bassett Healthcare Network Names Three New Clinical Leaders

Bassett Healthcare Network announced the appointments of three new clinical leaders on March 5, 2026. Each role will play a pivotal part in Bassett’s 2026-2028 strategic plan, contributing to patient access, service growth, quality improvement initiatives, and critical practitioner and caregiver recruitment.

Tiffany Otto, DDS, Bassett’s new Division Chief of Dental Services, recently arrived at Bassett Healthcare Network and is leading Dental Services across Bassett’s three offices in Delhi, Hamilton, and Oneonta. She will oversee preventive and restorative dental services provided to patients and is accepting new patients at FoxCare Center in Oneonta and O’Connor Hospital in Delhi.

Anthony Ferrara, MD, has been named Associate Chief of Surgery. Ferrara, in Bassett’s Ear, Nose, and Throat division, will be responsible for leading projects to improve patient access to surgical specialties across the network and will also play a key role in Bassett’s surgical quality improvement programs and goals. He joined Bassett Healthcare Network five years ago and has been pivotal in launching the radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules program in Cooperstown, only the second program in New York State.

Timothy Chapman, MD, has been named Chief of Pathology after serving as Bassett Healthcare Network’s interim chief of pathology for the past year. In February, he was officially named chief of pathology, and Bassett said his leadership will be instrumental as it continues optimizing services across the network for growth and that its laboratories will remain central to diagnostic capabilities.
