Adventist Health Clear Lake is expanding its health care service to the east side of Clear Lake by acquiring the practice founded by Dr. Robert Gardner in Lucerne and by welcoming Dr. Gardner and two advanced practice providers to its healthcare team.

The Adventist Health Clear Lake Medical Office – Lucerne is the latest addition to Adventist Health’s locations in Lake County. Additional medical offices are located in Clearlake, Hidden Valley Lake, Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lower Lake and Middletown.

These three clinicians will be part of a network of over 90 Adventist Health providers in Lake County providing services ranging from primary care to eye care, cardiology, surgery, pain management and more.

“I am excited to become a part of the team at Adventist Health Clear Lake and look forward to continuing to provide quality care to all of my current and future patients,” says Dr. Gardner. “Our patients and staff will now have more seamless access to diagnostic services, test results and referrals to Adventist Health Clear Lake’s network of specialty physicians.”
