Visiting Sarasota
Coming to Sarasota
A course is three infusions over three consecutive days. What you do with the hours in between matters too, and this is a good place to have them.
Why here
Somewhere worth resting in
The setting is part of the thinking. The center sits in a quiet coastal town rather than a city block, because the hours after an infusion are part of the treatment rather than an interruption to it.
The schedule is short. You are asked to rest between sessions rather than work through them, and being away from your usual routine makes that easier to do.
Getting here
Two airports, both easy
Tampa International (TPA)
Patients travelling from overseas or from the west coast usually fly into Tampa. It is a short drive south to the center, the airport is straightforward to move through, and there is plenty to eat while you wait.
Sarasota–Bradenton International (SRQ)
Patients from the east coast and the midwest more often fly straight into Sarasota. SRQ is small and close by, with short walks to gates, baggage and ground transport. Several national carriers serve it, and many patients prefer it for that reason.
Where to stay
Hotels a few minutes away
Several hotels sit within minutes of the center, and we have arranged room rates for patients at two of them.
The Hampton Inn is directly across the street from us, on the campus of Doctors Hospital — about as convenient as it gets.
The Hilton Art of Ovation is a short drive away, downtown. There are others nearby as well, and if you would rather be on the water there are hotels on Siesta Key with views of the Gulf, roughly twenty-five minutes south.
Call us before you book if you would like the patient rate, or if you would like a hand working out what suits you.
While you are here
There is more to do than wait
Downtown and the bay
Sarasota tends to make an impression on the first visit. Seen from the air, the colors of the Gulf and Sarasota Bay against the white sand of Longboat, Lido and Siesta are the reason a lot of people come back.
There are museums, opera, ballet and theater downtown, and if you would rather be outside, tennis, boating, golf, birdwatching and shelling are all close.
Siesta Key
Siesta Key was named the top beach in the United States in Dr Beach’s 2017 ranking, for sand that stays cool underfoot and water that shelves gently enough to swim in comfortably. It is wide, it is open all year, and it is twenty-five minutes south of us.
