Lee Physicians Group opens Pine Island office

North Fort Myers and North Cape Coral patients needing medical treatment now have a series of convenient options after Lee Physicians Group opened offices on Pine Island Road. The building houses family practice, internal medicine, surgical services and an obstetrics and gynecological office. A cardiologist is expected to open an office there within the next few weeks.

While the offices have been in the process of opening for several weeks now, the newest service offered there is a walk-in clinic.

It is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. During the first week, 90 patients visited the offices for urgent care.

"They usually end up seeing 100 patients a day," said Dr. Sal Lacagnina, medical director for Lee Physician Group.

Lee Physician Group is holding an open house from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on June 28.

The 26,000 square foot building is located at 1682 NE Pine Island Road, Cape Coral.

"We're trying to get community awareness that we're here," said Lacagnina. "If you're rushing someplace to get an appointment, it's better to know where you're going in advance. This is also a chance to meet the physicians."

The Pine Island Road office is the 28th that the group has opened. They have plans to open another office near I-75 and Colonial Boulevard within the next year.
