Big Announcement: A New Chapter Begins
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some important news with you. This Thursday, May 29th, will mark the end of an incredible era—I'll be leaving my practice in Mira Mesa.
For more than 28 years, I’ve had the honor and privilege of serving the Mira Mesa community. It’s been a truly rewarding experience, filled with unforgettable moments, amazing patients, and the evolving dedicated staff who made every day meaningful. The practice grew beyond anything I could have imagined, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.
Over seven years ago, I sold the practice to Total Vision and I wish them continued success. After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided it's time to move on. Though it wasn’t an easy decision, I believe it’s the right one—for my well-being and my happiness.
It’s a bittersweet moment. I’m excited for what’s ahead, but I can’t help feeling a little nostalgic as I look back on nearly three decades of memories. That said, change is a part of life—and it's time for a new beginning.
I want to thank all of my patients, every staff member I’ve worked with for making this journey so incredible and meaningful. I especially want to thank my wife and best friend Cyndi whom I never could have done it without. I will always carry these memories with me.
If you’d like to stay in touch or see where I’m headed next, visit orlandoguiang.com. Starting June 3rd, I’ll be joining the team at Santee Family Optometry, a fantastic private practice owned by Dr. Irene Gendleman and Dr. Smit Patel. I’m truly looking forward to working with them and beginning this next chapter.
Thank you again—from the bottom of my heart—for all your support through the years.
With gratitude,
Dr. Orlando Guiang
