With our integration into NorthShore Medical Group now complete, we would like to remind you that our staff and office hours will remain unchanged. As part of this new relationship, we have moved our Grayslake location to 15 Tower Court in Gurnee. Our office locations in Bannockburn, Highland Park and Skokie remain the same. North Shore Cardiologists will continue its current admitting privileges on hospital staffs throughout the area, as well as providing care at NorthShore’s four hospitals where we’ve long been associated: Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park and Skokie Hospitals. You will notice the Medical Group name appearing on communications, signage and bills.
“By joining NorthShore Medical Group we are linked to a vast continuum of superior care for our patients who we have served for more than a quarter of a century,” said Jay Alexander, MD, FACC, FAHA, lead physician at North Shore Cardiologists. “We are pleased to provide this access in the midst of the challenges that many cardiology practices now face, such as reduced access, layoffs and limited or no services for new Medicare patients.”
