Sadly we say goodbye to Dr Jeffrey Meynig as he enjoys retirement after many years of dedicated surgical service. We love an excuse to get everyone together, but are sad to see Jeff go.

“This is a bittersweet decision. It’s been a great 30 years and a highly rewarding career. My patients could not have been more awesome, and I will always appreciate the confidence and trust they placed in me! I strongly recommend my partners for any additional follow-up care or future surgical needs. Blessings!"
