Hello valued patients and friends,

After 30 fulfilling years in practice, I’ve made the decision to retire from primary care. This has been both a joyful and bittersweet decision, as it marks the end of a chapter that has brought me so much purpose, pride, and personal connection.

It has truly been one of the greatest privileges of my life to care for your eyes and your vision. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me over the years — for allowing me to be a part of your lives, and for letting me serve you and your families. I’ve cherished the relationships we’ve built together, and I will carry those memories with me into retirement.

As I step away from practice, I want to assure you that your continued care is my highest priority. Dr. Drew will be taking over your care, along with VisionWorks newest optometrist, Dr. Bittman, and I have full confidence in their skills and dedication. Of course our great staff will remain as well. Your VWO team will have complete access to your records, including the detailed history of our visits together, so your care will continue smoothly and without interruption. This has been a priorty for me and  Dr’s Drew and Bittman know I am always just a phone call away.

Again, thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for your trust, your kindness, and the opportunity to be your optometrist. I wish each of you continued health and clear vision ahead, knowing you are in great hands.

Dr. David Dowe
