About this area

Naples

Naples pairs a large year-round retiree population with a seasonal influx that doubles demand on local specialists each winter. Many Naples residents join our respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic studies because appointments in Cape Coral are easier to schedule than a specialist wait list at home.

Getting to our office

From downtown Naples, follow Golden Gate Parkway east to I-75 north and take Exit 136 (Colonial Boulevard) west. Cross the Midpoint Memorial Bridge onto Veterans Parkway, then turn north on Chiquita Boulevard S to 1005 Chiquita Blvd S.

Local information

• Common starting points: Fifth Avenue South, Naples Pier, NCH Baker Hospital and the Naples Botanical Garden area.
• Collier County's median age is well above the state average, so Naples referrals cluster around COPD, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and type 2 diabetes in adults over 60.
• Drive time is roughly 45 minutes outside season and closer to an hour between January and March, when I-75 and US-41 northbound slow after 8 a.m.
• Snowbird schedules are common here: we group screening and follow-up visits into fewer trips and confirm study travel reimbursement before your first visit.
