Plant City’s Specialist Doctors’ Group celebrated last month an expansion into a second office.
The group held a ribbon cutting March 14, for its new office, 1910 W. Reynolds St. The practice, which also operates a location off North Alexander Street, hopes the new location will help its health care professionals deliver the best care possible.
“This will give the doctors here more time to spend with their patients and to build relationships,” says Preston Sparkman, the assistant director of marketing/PR for the Specialist Doctors’ Group.
The idea to open a new branch began about a year ago, when owner Yahya Chaudhry noticed an increase in patients. Many of the schedule books were full.
The Alexander location has three doctors, three nurse practitioners and a podiatrist. With the new location, the group has added two new physicians and a nurse practitioner — Dr. James Hardiman, Dr. Russell Stewart and Georgette Farmer.
“I’m very excited,” Farmer says. “I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of people and helping a lot of people. We’re just trying to make it to where it’s more convenient: You don’t have to wait, walk-ins are accepted, self-pay.”
The new office accepts most insurances, and the staff is fluent in English and Spanish.
