Dear Patients,
It has been an incredible privilege to care for you over the past 40 years. As I reflect on my time at Bellevue Hand Surgery, I am filled with gratitude for the trust you have placed in me and my team. Today, I want to share an important update with you.
After much consideration, I have decided to retire and close Bellevue Hand Surgery. This was not an easy decision, but it comes with deep appreciation for the opportunity to serve this community and help so many wonderful patients over the years.
I understand this may come as unexpected news, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition may cause. My team and I are committed to making this process as smooth as possible for you.
Important Dates & Next Steps
- Last Day for New Patients – As of February 1st, 2025, I will no longer be accepting new patients.
- Ongoing Care for Current Patients – I will continue to provide post-operative care until your recovery is complete. Any pre-existing appointments will seen through the end of March 2025, at the current office. Beginning on April 1st, appointments will be in the same building but in a different office suite. More details will be provided soon.
- Medical Records – If you need a copy of your medical records or wish to have them transferred to another provider, please complete the Medical Records Request Form on our website. Our team is happy to assist you with this process.
- Referrals – If you are looking for an orthopedic hand surgeon, I recommend the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, which offers a directory of specialists in your area.
- Contact Us for Assistance – If you have any questions or need support during this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office. We are here to help.
Caring for you has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I will always cherish the relationships and memories made over the years. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healthcare journey. Wishing you all the best in health and happiness.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Thomas Trumble, M.D.
