In the meantime, I want you to know we will continue to serve you without interruption, and continue to schedule new appointments and provide care for my patients who are currently being treated.  I am partnering with the sports medicine physicians at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center at Emory Johns Creek Hospital to ensure a smooth transition of care during this period.  Their address is:
                                                                                           6335 Hospital Parkway

Your medical records will be available immediately at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center at Johns Creek.
