I will be closing my orthopaedic practice at Northwest Orthopaedic Associates & Sports Medicine effective June 24th, 2008. I will not perform elective or emergent surgical procedures after March 26th, 2008. I will be available for your urgent care until June 24th, 2008.
If you require ongoing orthopaedic care for problems which we have addressed together in the past, then I recommend you establish contact with your primary care physician, another orthopaedic surgeon here at Northwest Orthopaedic Associates or one of several other orthopaedic surgeons here in the Tri-Cities Community.
The names, addresses, and phone numbers of orthopaedic surgeons practicing in the Tri-Cities may be obtained by calling the Benton-Franklin Medical Society at (509) 582-2866.
If you are under a managed-care insurance situation, you may need to contact your health care insurer or primary care physician for a referral.
Contact Northwest Orthopadic & Sports Medicine for an authorization form to release a copy of your medical records. On receipt of this signed form, my office will forward a copy of your medical records to you or to the physician you designate. If you choose to stay with a provider at Northwest Orthopaedic no change of medical records is needed.
After the closure of my practice, signed requests for copies of medical records can still be directed to:
Northwest Orthopaedic Associates & Sports Medicine
875 Swift Blvd.
Richland, WA 99352
Telephone (509) 946-1654
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of working with and caring for you. It has been my pleasure.
Very truly yours,
Johnathan R. Perry, MD
