Dear Patient,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It is with mixed emotions that I am writing to inform you of my decision to retire from the practice of medicine after over 40 fulfilling years. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve as your trusted physician throughout this journey.
The last day the office will be open for patient care is March 31, 2024. We are committed to working with you to minimize any disruption and create a seamless transition of care. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in this process, whether you choose to continue your care within the Northside network or with a provider of your preference.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this transition, please contact our office at 770-664-4449. Our staff will be more than happy to help guide you through this process. To continue your care with another cardiologist in the Northside Hospital Heart Institute, please call 404-845-8200.
To obtain a copy of your medical records or transfer your records to another physician, please reach out to our office at 770-664-4449 or email the attached Authorization for Release of Medical Records and Information form to ROIRequest@northside.com.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for allowing me the privilege of being your physician. It has been an incredible journey, and I am thankful for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the years.
Wishing you continued good health and all the best.
Sincerely,
John Attokaren, M.D.
