Dear Patients and Colleagues,

I would like to thank you for the trust that you have given me over the years as your physician. Taking care of you has been an honor.

I am writing to inform you that I will be closing my practice due to ongoing health issues with long term implications. My last day of seeing patients in the office will be September 16, 2025. If you are an active patient and are in need of an appointment please contact us in the next 2 weeks as space is limited. If you will need a refill of medications, please have your pharmacy send a refill request and I will make sure a 12 month refill is available, if medically appropriate, as I understand that establishing with a new OBGYN will require time. 

You may contact your insurance provider for a list of physicians within your network that are accepting new patients or you may contact the physician referral service at Winchester Medical Center at 540-536-8000.

The  authorization form to release a copy of your medical records can be emailed to womenfirstva@gmail.com or mailed to above address. Upon receipt of this signed form, I will forward a copy of your medical records to the physician that you designate or we can send an encrypted email to your personal email containing your medical records at no charge to you. Paper record requests are subject to Virginia code governing charges for such records. 

If you have not elected a new physician by the time my practice closes, you can obtain acute, critical or emergency care at urgent care or the emergency room. 

Sincerely,

Dr Heather Reese MD FACOG
