Physicians’ Primary Care of Southwest Florida, the largest
independent multi-specialty practice in Southwest Florida,
has broken ground for a new 10,580 square foot medical
office that will consolidate their Lehigh Acres offices into
one location.
The new office will be located at 5700 Lee Boulevard and
will incorporate family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. Those offices currently are located
at 3507 Lee Boulevard and 5624 8th Street W and will
continue to operate at those locations until construction is
completed sometime this fall.
Fort Myers Mayor Randy Henderson participated in the
March 24 ground-breaking along with Dr. Mary Yankaskas,
Dr. John Bartlett, Dr. Nuel Celebrado, Dr. Sarah DiGiorgi
and Dr. Michael Verwest of Physicians’ Primary Care of
Southwest Florida.
Also participating were builder Mark Stevens of Stevens
Construction, architect Lyndon Pollock of Burt Hill/Pollock
Krieg Architects, Dean Martin of TDM Consulting, Inc., and
Roger Scharlau of Busey Bank.
“These new quarters will allow us to bring our Lehigh
Acres offices -- pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology and
family medicine -- all under one roof to accommodate the
growth in patients. Our patients also will have better access to care and more efficient care from this Lee Boulevard location,” said Dr. Yankaskas, managing physician of
Physicians’ Primary Care of Southwest Florida.
