*PRACTICE CLOSING*
Dear Patients:
After more than 35 years of private practice as Wilmington Neurology Consultants, we have come to the bittersweet decision to close our practice due to physician retirement and relocation out of state. Dr. N. Joseph Schrandt will be retiring on June 30, 2023 and will see patients through June 28th. Dr. William Sommers and Dr. Lee Dresser will see patients through September 15, 2023. The office will officially close on September 30, 2023.
Rest assured we will continue to provide medical care to our patients and assist in any way we can with their transition of care from now until our closing. Once our office has closed, patients medical records will be stored electronically in a secure site. We will post information on how to obtain medical records here on the website in the near future.
Thank you very much for entrusting us with your neurological care over the past years.
Sincerely yours,
William Sommer, D.O.
