To this end, we have communicated with each of Dr. Kirkowski’s patients by mail and will follow up personally with each to identify their needs and assist in transitioning their care to another provider. Of course, it would be our pleasure to continue serving them inside the Arnot Health system, but our priority is to establish each patient with a provider who suits them.
We do have the ability to see Dr. Kirkowski’s patients at our recently constructed multi-specialty facility in Troy, PA, just 8 miles from Canton. This site features lab, radiology, Walk-in Care (on weekends), and specialty care, including cardiology and orthopedics. We believe our top-notch team there, which is a combination of Troy and Canton providers including Amanda Albright, PA-C, will be able to provide excellent comprehensive care in one location. As we’ve conveyed to patients by mail, and will reiterate by phone, we are suggesting that anyone with an appointment with Dr. Kirkowski before the end of March keep their appointment. It will be our pleasure to assist any patients with appointments scheduled for April and beyond when we reach out to them by phone.
