About this area

Brandon & Riverview

Brandon and Riverview are large suburban communities east and south of Tampa, with young families, commuters and a fast-growing older population along US-301. Weekend-adjacent and early appointments work best for households commuting to Tampa.

Getting to our office

From Brandon Boulevard (SR-60) or US-301 in Riverview, take I-75 south and continue past Punta Gorda. Exit to Burnt Store Road (CR-765) south into Cape Coral, then Pine Island Road east and Chiquita Boulevard S south.

Local information

• Local markers: Brandon Town Center, the Bloomingdale Avenue corridor, Riverview's US-301 businesses and the Gibsonton I-75 interchange.
• Local demand centers on hypertension, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in adults 40 to 65, plus childhood and adult asthma in newer subdivisions.
• Plan on about one hour and 55 minutes; I-75 south of Gibsonton moves well once past the morning commute.
• We offer first-appointment slots at 8 a.m. for commuters, keep follow-up contact by phone, and confirm study travel reimbursement at enrollment.
