Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Here?

It's okay if you have to read it again.

It's true. Our surgeons can remove the appendix through tiny incisions rather than a large one, for shorter recoveries. Learn more at LeesburgRegional.org .

Spending quality time with patients is a point of pride for Dr. Adina Ion, who practices internal medicine at Florida Primary Care Group, an affiliation of Cardiovascular Associates of Lake County.

“I consider it a privilege when patients trust me to make important decisions regarding their health care,” she says. “Therefore, I always make sure to spend quality time with them and never overbook.”

Dr. Ion treats many conditions, including diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease, and cardiac problems. She has practiced in Lake County since 2002. “I have worked directly with many of the doctors in the area, and as a result, it is easier for me to help navigate patients through the medical community when they have complex medical cases.”
