Griffin Concierge Medical is opening in the Sarasota–Bradenton corridor in Fall 2026, led by Dr. Cheryl Johnstone. For residents of University Park, Griffin will bring the same concierge model that has defined Tampa Bay medicine since 2008: deep relationships, full infrastructure, and 24/7 access to a real physician — without the drive across the bridge.
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
University Park is the established country-club community that predates most of Lakewood Ranch's development — a private, gated community just west of the master plan's western boundary, with 27 holes of championship golf, mature tree canopy, and the longest-tenured membership roster in the Sarasota-Bradenton club landscape. Residents here have typically been in the community for decades, and the membership is among the most selective in the corridor. University Park is what Lakewood Ranch's country-club communities are aspiring toward.
Griffin Concierge Medical is opening in the Sarasota–Bradenton corridor in Fall 2026, led by Dr. Cheryl Johnstone. For University Park residents, the Griffin office will be an 8-minute drive — east on University Parkway to the Lakewood Ranch corridor. The opening brings a concierge physician relationship to the western Sarasota corridor for the first time.
University Park members chose their community because it represents a genuine standard — not a marketed lifestyle, but an earned one. The same standard applies to their professional relationships, and healthcare has historically been the gap. Griffin concierge medicine fills it: one physician, one Patient Care Coordinator, 24/7 direct physician access, and a relationship that matures over years. Opening Fall 2026.
If you live at University Park and want to be among the founding members of Dr. Johnstone's Lakewood Ranch practice, pre-opening inquiries are being accepted now. Inquire online or call our existing St. Petersburg office at (727) 516-7272.
