Retirement Announcement
Dear patients,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from active medical practice, effective October 18th, 2024. It has been my pleasure and privilege to help guide your healthcare needs over the last 40+ years.
I will be seeing patients up to October 18th to ensure proper transfer of records and medications. You may seek medical care from another doctor if you prefer.
Many of you have come to rely on direct access to me through personal outreach. Beginning October 19, 2024, I will no longer be able to provide any medical guidance. I will not have the ability to prescribe any medication, and I will not have access to your medical records, thus, all your medical questions will need to go through your new medical team. We will be in the process of directing a secure team to hold medical records by law compliance after my retirement and an update will follow once that team is secured.
Your medical records are confidential, and a copy can be transferred to another doctor. If you choose to see a different physician, please let the office know as soon as possible so we can transfer your records to your new doctor to prevent any disruption in your medical care.
I have valued our relationship over the years more than you can imagine. We have grown together. Thank you for your loyalty and friendship over the years.
Hopefully, my voice will go with you. Take your medications every day. Exercise. Meditate. And be happy. I will be cheering you on from the sidelines!
Yours, Dr. Ingrid E. Schmidt
