To my patients,

Effective November 29, 2024, I will be closing my medical practice in Huntington Beach.  I will no longer be available to take care of your medical needs after that date.

It has been a privilege to care for patients in a private endocrinology practice for over forty years, but the time has come to move on to the next stage of my life.

Please arrange to have another physician assume your medical care going forward.  If you are not already acquainted with another physician you may use your insurance company’s provider directory, obtain a referral from your primary care provider, or call the Orange County Medical Association physician referral service.  Additionally, two Huntington Beach endocrinologists have agreed to accept new patients, namely Paul Rosenblit, M.D. (714-375-5572) and Chris Tsimerekis, M.D. (714-549-9927).  Please contact my office by December 1, 2024, so that we can send copies of your medical records to your new physician or practice.  This requires a signed, dated authorization.   Please download and print the form below and fax or mail form to PO Box 2928, Seal Beach, CA  90740

It has been a pleasure and an honor to help care for your medical needs.  I wish you all the best for your future health and happiness.

Yours truly,

Jeffrey A. Punim, M.D., F.A.C.E.
