Dr. Belinda Badorek Will Be Retiring Effective December 31, 2023
To All Of My Beloved Patients:
It is with extremely mixed emotions, I announce that I will be closing my clinic, Clearwater Family Eye Care, effective December 31, 2023. I will remain available in the clinic to address your needs through January 31, 2024. After this time, you can reach me by email: DrBelinda2004@gmail.com.
As many of you are aware I was diagnosed with a progressive autoimmune disease. Unfortunately the last 18 months has presented many unforeseen challenges and health issues. These circumstances have taken a severe toll on my health & family. At this time, I am not able to work to the capacity in which we all have been acclimated. Due to these unforeseen health issues, the personal needs of my family, and my Mother entering Hospice, I have made the decision to retire.
I am hopeful this opportunity will allow me to better navigate my health issues and to serve my family with the greatest of love and devotion. What all of this has taught me is that we cannot get back time! First, I would like to share my profound gratitude for permitting me the honor & privilege to be your Eye Care Provider and friend. There simply are not enough words to truly convey my thankfulness for this opportunity. It is something I have always held dear in my heart!
It has been an incredible honor and a blessing to serve you and your families! For many of you I have had the pleasure to watch throughout the years as you, your families, children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren have grown. In turn, many of you have shared the unfolding of my life, career, marriage, birth and growth of my children! Thank you so very much for allowing us to be a part of your lives!
I will be available to provide full time medical care to you until December 31, 2023. During the month of January 2024 our office will remain open for limited hours. This time will permit the completion of patient care, acquisition of your patient records, refilling of prescriptions and/or addressing any personal concerns you may have. As the next two months unfold, you will need to secure a new Eye Care Provider to ensure your ongoing, continuous, and routine eye care. Please do not wait until the last moment to accomplish this endeavor.
Attached is a comprehensive informative letter, listing of Local Eye Care Providers, Records Release Authorization Form, and instructions to assist in the transition of your care. I greatly apologize for any inconvenience this circumstance has created. I hope to make this transition as smooth as possible.
