Letter from Dr. Besette
Dear Patient:
I am writing to inform you of my retirement effective June 1, 2022. I sincerely appreciate the trust you have had in me to provide for your orthopaedic care over the years. I have been fortunate to have practiced with my 3 wonderful and caring partners at this office – Dr. David Carrier, Rola Rashid, and Matthew Bessette, all of whom will be available for your future needs.
You need not take any action at this time as your records will remain in the office. In the event that you wish to have your records transferred to an orthopaedic provider outside this office please call to arrange for that transfer. The Monroe Medical Society (585) 473-7573, also maintains a list of other orthopaedic physicians.
Through the years, copies of your past office visits were always sent to your primary care physician after your visits so they are also familiar with your orthopaedic care.
I wish you all the best of health and happiness.
Sincerely,
Gary C. Bessette, MD
Fall Sports are in full swing and we need to keep our young athletes safe!
Home Coming is often the most exciting time of the year! High school sports are happening all around us and so are athletic injuries!
Overuse, overuse, overuse! We need to always be preventative when it comes to injuries, even in volleyball!
