Absolutely. The drive from Cape Coral to our Fort Myers office is a short, direct trip across the Cape Coral Bridge or Midpoint Bridge — typically 15-25 minutes depending on the route and time of day. But the real question is what you gain: unhurried 30-60 minute appointments, direct physician access, advanced lipid testing most Cape Coral practices don’t offer, and a medical team that limits its patient panel so you’re never rushed. For routine follow-ups and prescription renewals, our telemedicine platform means you don’t need to cross the bridge at all.

Yes, for many types of visits. Routine follow-ups, prescription renewals, lab result reviews, and non-urgent consultations can all be conducted via secure video telemedicine from your Cape Coral home. In-person visits are reserved for comprehensive annual physicals, advanced lipid panels, CIMT scans, body composition analysis, and complex diagnostic evaluations — visits that genuinely require hands-on examination and on-site testing. This hybrid approach means most Cape Coral patients cross the bridge only a few times per year.

If you are hospitalized at Cape Coral Hospital, your IMLWP physician provides direct physician-to-physician coordination through EPIC integration, ensuring the hospital team has your complete medical history and expert guidance from the doctor who knows you best. For hospitalizations at Gulf Coast Medical Center, HealthPark Medical Center, or Lee Memorial Hospital, Premier members receive full daily bedside rounds — your personal physician visits you every day to coordinate care with specialists, review medications, and advocate for your treatment plan.

Concierge medicine is a membership-based model that fundamentally changes the physician-patient relationship. Unlike typical Cape Coral primary care practices that manage thousands of patients with rushed 10-minute visits, our physicians limit their panel to ensure 30-60 minute appointments, same-day access for acute concerns, and direct communication with your doctor — not a call center. Your membership includes comprehensive annual physicals, advanced metabolic testing, on-site cardiac and pulmonary screening, and wholesale medication pricing through our in-house dispensary.

Yes. Our in-house dispensary stocks a wide range of generic medications at wholesale member pricing. You can pick up prescriptions during an in-person visit, or we will mail them directly to your Cape Coral home — no pharmacy stop, no extra bridge trip required. For brand-name or specialty medications, we send prescriptions electronically to your preferred Cape Coral pharmacy.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology has completed rigorous advanced training and examination in cholesterol metabolism, genetic lipid disorders, and cardiovascular disease prevention. Dr. Kordonowy holds this credential, which goes far beyond the standard cholesterol management most primary care physicians provide. While a cardiologist fixes the “plumbing” (treating blockages after they form), a clinical lipidologist fixes the “chemistry” (optimizing blood composition to prevent plaque from forming in the first place). This level of expertise is not available at standard Cape Coral primary care practices.

We have opted out of Medicare to prioritize the physician-patient relationship without insurance constraints. However, your Medicare coverage remains fully valid for everything we order — including prescriptions, hospital stays, laboratory testing, specialist referrals, and imaging — at any Medicare-accepting facility. You continue to use Medicare Part D for prescription coverage exactly as before.

There are two convenient routes. Via the Cape Coral Bridge (best for South Cape residents near Tarpon Point and Cape Coral Parkway): take Cape Coral Parkway across the bridge, continue to Colonial Boulevard, then south on Winkler Road — typically 15-20 minutes. Via the Midpoint Bridge (best for North Cape and Yacht Club corridor residents): take Veterans Parkway across the bridge to Colonial Boulevard, then south on Winkler Road — typically 20-25 minutes. Drive times vary seasonally.

Yes. Many of our Cape Coral members are seasonal residents who split time between Southwest Florida and northern states. We coordinate directly with your northern physicians to maintain one unified medical narrative, manage medication transitions when you arrive and depart, and provide telemedicine access year-round — even when you are up north. Our concierge model eliminates the “new patient runaround” that seasonal residents typically face every season.
