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.
