Dear Patient,

After 41 years of medical practice in Adult Rheumatology, I will be retiring and closing my office on Friday February 16, 2024. It has been a privilege and pleasure to have provided care to you. I have enjoyed our relationship shared over the years.
For future rheumatologic medical treatment, you can contact:

The Cleveland Clinic at 1-216-444-2606 at its Appointment Center to find a Rheumatologist at one of their Family Health Center(s) located in:
Twinsburg, Willoughby Hills, Independence, Lorain, Avon REJ, Strongsville, Beachwood, and The Main Campus.
Your family physician can also provide you with the names of Rheumatologists in the community. The Northeast Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation is another resource. The foundation phone number is 216-359-7152.

Please contact your health insurance company to determine providers in your network or to answer questions.
You may obtain your medical records by using the enclosed Records Release Form I have included with this letter or by calling our office at 440-449-8277 to get an additional copy of the Records Release Form until February 29, 2024. Thereafter, you may obtain a Records Release Form by calling: 216-444-5580 for questions about your medical records and fax the release to 216-587-8043.

(Records cannot be released without the Records Release form)

My staff and I wish you and your family continued good health.
Sincerely,

David R. Mandel, M.D.
