Beach Medical Closes Forever December 19th 2025
It is with respect and appreciation that we share important news: Beach Medical has closed.
We are proud of the years we’ve spent caring for our patients and neighbors, and we are immensely thankful for the trust placed in us. While this chapter is coming to an end, several of our providers will continue to serve the Outer Banks community.
Leah Woolridge, NP, Carol Pilote, NP, and Eric Robisch, PA intend to remain in primary care here on the beach, with plans to open a new practice, Hightide Healthcare in early 2026. Be sure to look for them at this same location, 5200 North Croatan Highway Kitty Hawk, as they continue their excellent work caring for our community. We will post updates on our website, beachmedicalobx.com, with information on how to reach them once their new practice has contact information.
Dr. Teresa Wargovich has retired. We are especially grateful for Dr. Wargovich’s many years of devoted and compassionate service.
Zoe Sherman, PA-C remains dedicated to serving the Outer Banks community and will continue caring for urgent care patients at another practice locally.
