Lake Forest
Acute Care Center was opened in November 2013 by Mark Mass, M.D., a board-certified
emergency medicine physician with over 20 years of experience in outpatient care. Dr. Mass saw a need for a comfortable
and secure place in Lake Forest for patients to see a doctor on short notice
without the cost or inconvenience of an Emergency Room visit.
“We are here to treat the young and old, we will take care of illness and injuries,” said Dr. Mass. “Our goal is to assist people with all of their healthcare
needs in the most professional and efficient manner possible. We are thrilled
to be opening the first of its kind facility to serve patients in and along the
communities of the North Shore.”
Lab work and
X-Ray evaluations can be done on-site, prescriptions written, and care started
with a minimum wait. Most insurance plans are accepted with only an outpatient
or office visit co-pay. Some preventive
care services are completely covered under the Affordable Care Act.
