Letter to Patients

04/21/2016

Dear Patient,

It took me great courage amidst mixed emotions to announce the closing of Vein Clinic PA. I will continue to serve established patients and assist with transition of care until 5/31/2016. Please contact your Primary Care Provider for a referral, or visit the American College of Phlebology website (http://www.phlebology.org) to find a list of Board Certified Specialists in your area for future vein care needs.

We have made provisions for safe custody of your medical records. Please see reverse (below) for important details and find enclosed authorization form for your convenience.

I started my career as a Physician with a firm belief that excellence in healthcare, highest level of responsibility and above all, love for each patient who came seeking care was my calling. I embraced the quote “A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this, get out of the profession.” Many of my patients came with little hope of improvement or with prior unsuccessful treatments. The science of Medicine is not perfect, and the healthcare system is constantly changing. Nevertheless, when I see the countless testimonials, letters from patients, and smiling faces (not just beautiful healthy legs), I know that all the efforts were worthwhile.

Walt Disney once said, “A man should never neglect his family for business.” I feel that over the years I have inadvertently neglected my family and was unavailable for my two kids who are growing up faster than weeds in the yard! It does take a substantial amount of parenting, often “a village to raise a child.” After much pondering, my wife and I have decided to move closer to our extended family.

Thank you for your loyalty, friendship, and trust. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you. Many patients have told me that my work has changed their lives. The truth is that all the extraordinary experiences and memories have changed mine! Best wishes for your future health and happiness. Never forget that life is a beautiful journey.

Sincerely yours,

Sameer Gupta, MD
