Dear Patients,
I am writing to inform you that I will no longer be seeing patients after June 1, 2019. My many years at Texas Eye Institute have been extremely rewarding, and it is with a heavy heart that I am finally retiring. I am blessed to have gotten to know you and your families over these past 43 years and have forged many meaningful and enjoyable relationships as a result. I want to wholeheartedly thank you for entrusting me with your eye care all these years. I cannot imagine a profession that would have given me more pride and joy.
At Texas Eye Institute, we feel very fortunate to have searched and found a Harvard educated, Wills Eye Hospital fellowship trained Corneal Specialist, Dr. Yasir Ahmed, to continue on with your eyecare needs. Dr. Ahmed will begin seeing patients at both Texas Eye Institute locations, Southwest and Southeast, beginning June 17, 2019. After interviewing many candidates, we are very excited and confident in our choice. Should you prefer another physician on our staff, please do not hesitate to ask. Your medical records will remain safe and confidential at Texas Eye Institute.
If I can be of any assistance to you before my departure, please do not hesitate to ask. Otherwise, please contact Vanessa Henriquez at our Southwest location for any other needs you may have. I have greatly valued you as a patient and thank you for your loyalty and allowing me the privilege of caring for you over these years. I wish you all the best of health and happiness.
Warmest regards,
Richard Edwin Pitts, M.D.
