Dear Valued Patients,
With a full heart, I want to share that I will be stepping away from the office due to personal family matters. This was not an easy decision, as caring for you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
I am truly grateful for the trust, loyalty, and support you have shown me over the years. It has meant more to me than I can express.
I’m also excited to share that I am partnering with Dr. Mehr, who will be continuing your care. Dr. Mehr will be joining us starting Thursday, March 5, 2026, and the transition will officially take place on April 1, 2026. He will be in the office on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I have great confidence in the skill, compassion, and dedication he brings to our practice, and I know you will be in excellent hands. Please know that your patient records will remain securely at the office to ensure continuity of care. Make sure you come by and say hello!
While I am stepping back, I will still pop in from time to time and look forward to seeing you when I do.
Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your health journey. It has been an honor.
With appreciation,
Dr. Elise Rio
