We are pleased to add a Gastroenterology practice in July, directed by Dr. Cassandra A. Gandle, MD. Board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Gandle joins Florida Medical Clinic on July 1, 2023. In addition to her Epperson/Watergrass location, she will also see patients at our North Tampa office

Florida Medical Clinic CEO Joe Delatorre talked about the growth of this community and our service there: When we purchased the property in Watergrass in 2018, we had a vision of joining a growing community and making a difference. We wanted to be a good neighbor and foster a healthy and vibrant lifestyle for our new neighbors. The result has been more than we had hoped. The Watergrass and Epperson communities welcomed us with open arms and we have quickly become a trusted provider of health and wellness services. We look forward to continuing our growth in the community and caring for its families into the future.”

Dr. Gandle will be joining a team of health professionals at Florida Medical Clinic who serve the region. Digestive health requires expert, comprehensive care. In addition to providing general consultations, our gastroenterologists care for patients with diseases or disorders of the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.
