July 7, 2022 — Lee Health has opened the doors to its newest primary care practice in Southwest Florida.
Located at 2495 Palm Ridge Road in Sanibel, Lee Health Sanibel Primary/Walk-In Care will offer primary care and walk-in services to the island communities.
Dr. Robert Bussing, a physician with more than 40 years of medical experience, is seeing patients at the clinic. The location had previously been established as a primary care practice under another organization before being acquired by Lee Physician Group. Now, it has reopened as a much-needed walk-in clinic, in addition to offering primary care.
Lee Health Sanibel Primary/Walk-In Care officially opened Monday, June 28. Its hours of operation are Monday-Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“I’m proud to be a part of expanding care to the Sanibel region,” said Dr. Bussing. “Along with providing primary care in a convenient, centrally-located office, being able to also offer walk-in services to our residents and vacationers will be a major benefit to those who come to the islands.”
In addition to Dr. Bussing, Lee Health Sanibel Primary/Walk-In Care will further grow with another physician, Dr. John Schmidt, who will join the practice on July 18, 2022.
Dr. Schmidt has been with Lee Health since 2018 and is currently practicing at the College Pointe location in Fort Myers. In addition to his primary practice, Dr. Schmidt has served at the Lee Convenient Care locations practicing urgent care medicine during the pandemic.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve my home community of Sanibel for many years to come. I am truly excited our new practice will include my two passions: primary care and the ability to deliver immediate care when needed,” said Dr. Schmidt.
Drs. Bussing and Schmidt are accepting new patients. Please visit www.leehealth.org to make an appointment in MyChart or call 239-343-6990.
