Important announcement for Chris Patton patients

by | posted in: Announcements | 0

June 1, 2019

Dear Dr. Patton Families,

After 21 years with Old Harding Pediatrics, Dr. Chris Patton will be leaving our practice to follow new opportunities.

His last day with OHPA is August 31, 2019. Dr. Patton would love to see as many of his patients as possible before he leaves. Feel free to contact our office to make a summer physical.

To keep continuity of care for your family we would like to offer our new physician, Dr. Vicky Phillips. She has practiced pediatrics the last two years after completing her Residency at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital and is ready to start her new practice with our OHPA family in September.

Your family will automatically be assigned to Dr. Phillips and any future appointments that are currently scheduled after Dr. Patton’s departure will be moved to her schedule. If you would prefer to transfer to one of our other physicians listed below, feel free to do so. We hope to make your transition as easy as possible.

Old Harding Pike Location:
Dr. Laurie Alsentzer
Dr. Linda Brady
Dr. James Keffer

Hwy 70 South Location:
Dr. Jon Betts
Dr. Kylie Cormier
Dr. Paul Heil
Dr. Chris Smeltzer

We look forward to taking care of your children and family for many years to come and we wish Dr. Patton good luck in his new endeavors!

Sincerely,
Old Harding Pediatric Associates
