Southwestern Illinois Plastic & Hand Surgery
To Our Patients...
Caring for you has been the most rewarding part of my career and I appreciate the trust you have shown in me by allowing me to do so. With a lot of joy, and a bit of sadness, I would like to let you know of my intention to retire and close my Plastic and Hand surgery practice after 41 amazing years.
​
The practice will officially close effective October 15, 2o21.
​
As you know, choosing a new physician/surgeon should be a personal choice and I highly recommend you consult your primary care physician, the county medical society, a local hospital, or your health care plan for a trusted referral.
​
If you would like to request a copy of your medical records to be forwarded to another physician please visit the "patient info" page on our website.
​
It is my wish and intention to make this as smooth a transition as possible and will make every effort to assist you in this process.
​
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 618. 656. 9355.
​
Thank you again for the opportunity to have served as your physician/surgeon for the last 41 years...and best wishes for health and happiness in the future!
​
Sincerely,
Michael E. Beatty, M.D. F.A.C.S.
