SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — A 41-year resident of Barton’s Emergency Room staff, Dr. Steve Leman, is opening an urgent care facility, Quick Care Tahoe, in South Lake Tahoe near the “Y.”
Tahoe Urgent Care and Family Medicine closed in May 2020 leaving the south end of the city with no option for swift care for less severe injuries other than Barton’s Urgent Care facility at Stateline or the Emergency Room in South Lake.
“This is a community need that needs to be filled,” Leman said. “I am very proud of the emergency room [at Barton], but it’s focus is for bigger, more complex problems.”
