Griffin Concierge Medical is opening in the Sarasota–Bradenton corridor in Fall 2026, led by Dr. Cheryl Johnstone. For residents of Waterside Place, 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
Waterside Place is the newest and most walkable Lakewood Ranch village — organized around Kingfisher Lake, with a lakeside dining-and-retail row that has become a regional destination since its opening. The village is the master plan's southernmost community, and its pedestrian-oriented design sets it apart from most of Lakewood Ranch's gated, car-dependent villages. Residents here chose Waterside for the walk-to-everything lifestyle that the lakeside promenade makes possible — a genuine departure from the automotive architecture that defines most of the corridor.
Griffin Concierge Medical is opening in the Sarasota–Bradenton corridor in Fall 2026, led by Dr. Cheryl Johnstone. For Waterside Place residents, the opening brings a concierge physician relationship to the Lakewood Ranch community — the same board-certified, relationship-first model Griffin has practiced in Tampa Bay since 2008, available within the master plan.
Waterside Place residents are typically younger professionals and families who chose the walkable, lake-oriented lifestyle of the village over the more traditional gated-community model. The Griffin model adapts naturally to this profile: proactive health management for active, career-oriented adults, 24/7 access for the unexpected, and a physician relationship that grows with you across the years you build here.
Pre-opening inquiries for the Fall 2026 launch are being accepted now. If you live at Waterside Place and want to be among the founding members of Dr. Johnstone's Lakewood Ranch practice, inquire online or call our existing offices at (727) 516-7272.
