Dear Patient:
I am writing to let you know that I have made the decision to close my practice effective July 26, 2019, as I will be leaving the area for a new opportunity. This was truly a very difficult decision. It has been a great pleasure providing for your health care needs over the years, and it is not easy for me to make this change.
My practice will close for patient appointments as of July 26, 2019. No medical services will be provided after that date by myself. NeuroSciences Healthcare Medicine PC, based in Binghamton, NY, is in the process of hiring Roxanne Conway, NP, our nurse practitioner. If the hiring process goes as planned, she will continue to see patients (at the Wellsville location only) in collaboration with her new employer, NeuroSciences HealthCare Medicine PC.
I recommend that you arrange for care with another physician if you do not wish to become a patient of the NeuroSciences Group. You may want to follow up with your primary care provider, or contact the county medical society, your local hospital or your health care insurance plan for a referral.
Your medical records are confidential. If you would like your records released to another provider, please fill out an authorization form and return it to my office no later than July 15, 2019.
After July 26, 2019, all medical records will be transferred to the Neurosciences Group, and you will need to contact them for any historic medical record needs. If you wish to establish as a patient with Neurosciences Group and see Roxanne Conway, NP, after July 26, 2019, you will still need to complete and return an authorization form.
I am sorry that I cannot continue as your provider and I extend my best wishes for your future health.
Sincerely,
Bill R. Carstens, DO
