Lavenburg Medical Group has two offices, one in Elkton, Maryland and one in Newark, Delaware. Each office also serves patients from the other side of the state line. The Elkton and Newark offices are open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and Friday from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, with Saturday hours arranged by phone and Sunday closed. The Newark office is sometimes open until 5:30 pm on select Mondays, so patients are asked to call first to confirm.
