Dear Valued Patient,
As you may already know, I will be retiring this summer. My last day of patient care will be August 31, 2026. Serving as your physician has been an honor and a privilege.
The continuity of your healthcare is of the utmost importance to me and my colleagues. I am pleased to announce that Dr. Luciana Bester will be joining TPMG Atlantic Coast Family Medicine beginning September 8, 2026. I have known Dr. Bester for many years and am confident that she will provide you with exceptional care. It brings me great peace of mind knowing you be in the hands of such a skilled and compassionate physician.
To ensure a smooth transition, all appointments scheduled for September 1, 2026, and beyond will be transferred to Dr. Bester’s schedule unless our office is notified otherwise. For urgent needs between September 1 – 7, 2026, my partners – Dr. Caroline Han, Dr. Stephanie Espino, and Dr. Ronnie Fayad – will available to assist you. For more information about any of my colleagues, please visit our website at mytpmg.com.
Your electronic medical records will remain within the TPMG system. If you choose to transition your care to a provider outside of TPMG, please contact our office or the TPMG Medical Records Department at (757) 232-8840 to request the necessary release paperwork. A downloadable form is also available on our website at https://mytpmg.com/patient-info/release-of-information/.
Thank you for trusting me as your physician and for sharing your lives with me. It has been my greatest privilege. I wish you all the very best.
Sincerely,
