It has been an honor and joy to have served as your Ophthalmologist for the last 35 years in Saranac Lake and throughout the North Country. As time marches on, at this time we have made a decision to retire and close the office. It has been both difficult and a joy in remembering all of you and what we have created together.
We have been working diligently to follow up with our patient care and see if there was an opportunity to have our patients followed by the hospital or someone in the area. This has not been easy or successful. We have looked and are still activity pursuing different options to provide continual quality care to our patients. Currently we are exploring the possibly of telemedicine and digital ophthalmology/optometric.
It is important that you continue with appropriate eye care; therefore you should contact another physician as soon as possible.
We will need a letter with your signature, DOB, address on it or a HIAA-compliant authorization form to release a copy of your medical records to you or your new physician. Please complete the form and return to our office or call head and make arrangements to pick up records in office. On receipt of the signed form, my office will forward a copy of your medical records to you (your last visit as a courtesy), or the physician you designate digitally (please provide their name, address and fax number).
Please rest assured our ophthalmic technician/office manager Jodi will be available until January 1, 2024 to consult with your new provider to promote a smooth transition of care, as well as myself if needed.
After the close of my office June 30, 2023, signed requests for medical records can be directed to:
