To our valued patients and friends,

It has always been my dream, passion, and honor to practice medicine and serve my patients like family. Unfortunately, we are now faced with an increasing number of provided services and resources that are not covered by private insurances of Medicare. In addition, the recent pandemic has necessitated further adaptions in how we deliver patient care including the implementation of telemedicine. In order to continue providing you the level of care we expect and that you deserve, the following three-tier office model was introduced to our patients and will continue in 2025.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing our deep commitment to your overall health and well-being.

Sincerely,

Samy Sharobeem, MD
