Dear Valued Patient, (Date)
After 18 wonderful years of serving as a physician with TPMG Obstetrics & Gynecology, I am writing to let you know that I will be leaving effective August 6, 2026, as I prepare to relocate to another state.
This decision was not made lightly. TPMG, this community, and my patients have been an integral part of my life and career, and while I am excited for this new chapter, leaving behind the patients and colleagues who have meant so much to me is bittersweet. It has been an incredible privilege to care for you and your families over the years, and I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me and the relationships we have built together. Being part of your healthcare journey has been one of the greatest honors of my career.https://www.mytpmg.com/physician/laura-r-cordes-m-d/
The continuity of your healthcare is of the utmost importance to me and my colleagues. Dr. Jeffrey Morrison and Dr. Laura Cordes, as well as our other providers, are happy to take on my patients moving forward. I have full confidence that you will continue to receive the same high-quality, compassionate care you deserve. For those with scheduled appointments, our staff will assist you with rescheduling with another provider and ensuring a smooth transition of care. For more information about our providers, visit our website at https://www.mytpmg.com/location/obstetrics-gynecology/.
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 again for your loyalty, kindness, and trust over these past 18 years. I will always cherish the memories, relationships, and experiences shared with my patients and this community. It has truly been a privilege and an honor to serve as your physician. I wish you and your families continued health, happiness, and success in the years ahead.
With heartfelt gratitude,
