Attention:
Chicago, February 18, 2021
Dear Patients:
It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement from active practice, effective April 20, 2021. It has been a great pleasure providing for your health care needs over the years, and it is not easy for me to give it up.
As of April 20, 2021, Dr. Ireneusz Pawlowski will be taking over my practice. I am pleased that you have the opportunity to have him as your physician. Dr. Pawlowski is a well‑trained and certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine specialist. He is a graduate of the University of Medicine in Poznan (Poland) and he completed his residency at Saint Francis Medical Center in Chicago. He speaks Polish and English languages. I am glad to have left my patients in his capable hands. Of course, you may seek medical care from another doctor if you like. If you choose to do so, I recommend looking for a new physician as soon as possible. My office staff can help you with your search for a new doctor.
Your medical records are confidential, and a copy can be transferred to another doctor or released to you or another person you designate only through your permission. If you plan to continue with this office, you can sign an authorization form to release your files to Dr. Pawlowski on your next visit. If you choose to see a different physician, please sign the enclosed authorization form and return it to my office as soon as possible so we may transfer your records to your new doctor. Until then, your records will remain on file at my former office.
I have greatly valued our relationship, and thank you for your loyalty and friendship over the years. Best wishes for your future health.
Sincerely,
Bronislaw J. Orawiec, MD |
