When Cindy Hawthorne and Arlene Morence approached Karla Lowery in the lobby of the new Clarkston Medical Building , they seemed lost.
It was their first visit to the Sashabaw Road center in Independence Township. Fortunately, Lowery is employed by Clarkston Medical Group as a greeter.
“It’s right through there,” she told pair, pointing to the center’s freshly stocked pharmacy.
The group’s medical office building, which opened April 20, is the first of many in the McLaren Health Care Village, a $600 million project approved in 2006.
CMG’s 14 physicians join more than 20 physician practices in the new building, bringing several medical specialties together in one location and offering hospital service in an outpatient setting, said Dr. James O’Neill, pediatrician and founder.
“By moving into the Clarkston Medical Building, we’re continuing to grow by leading an innovative concept in outpatient care that benefits area patients,? O’Neill said.
The Clarkston Medical Building, 5701 Bow Pointe Drive in Independence Township offers family medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine by CMG. Specialties include cardiology, urology, gastroenterology, vascular surgery, dermatology, infectious disease and kidney care, ear, nose, and throat, women’s health, breast care, physical therapy, pulmonary care, neurology and pain care, sleep medicine, and ophthalmology.
‘What makes this building more than just a place where doctors have their offices is the 64-slice CT scanner, X-ray, complete outpatient surgery center, laboratory services, a retail pharmacy, and a home medical equipment store,? says Dr. Timothy O’Neill, CEO of Clarkston Medical Group. ‘A patient who comes to see their family physician can have lab and diagnostic tests on site, fill their prescription, buy medical supplies, and see a specialist without travelling to another location. The state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center offers unparalleled technology and comfort for minor surgeries.?
