To best serve our patients, Arroyo Seco Medical Group is affiliated
with two Independent Practice Associations. An Independent
Practice Association (IPA) is a group that acts as the middleman
between a medical group and an insurance carrier. Arroyo Seco
is proud to work with Eastland Medical Group and Healthcare
Partners Independent Physician Association.
Eastland
Medical Group
Recently acquired by Lakeside
Healthcare Inc., Eastland Medical Group (EMG) was established
in 1993 offering quality services to the San Gabriel Valley
and Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. By merging
with the resources of Lakeside Healthcare, EMG is able to
offer an even broader team of specialty network physicians
as well as ancillary providers from which its members can
choose. Lakeside Healthcare also includes Lakeside Medical
Group, an organization of practicing physicians, which means
they have a strong understanding of the administrative processes
as well as the importance of doctor-patient relationships.
Eastland Medical Group can be reached at (626) 960-8614.
What does Lakeside having purchased Eastland mean to me?
You will still receive the same exceptional care from the
same physician in the same office. Some of our internal
processes will be quicker, which translates to greater efficiency
for you.
Do I have to notify my health plan? No, for now Lakeside
Healthcare will be keeping the name, Eastland Medical. It
should remain transparent for you.

the following health plans:
