We are excited to announce that Dr. Marius Heersink joined the Dothan medical staff on August 15th. His first request was to personally meet as many of you as possible. We traveled to Opp, Andalusia, Enterprise, Dothan and Marianna so he could introduce himself, see your practices and meet your staff. We had a lot of fun along the way! If we didn’t drop by your office, we’re happy to schedule a future visit, or introductory phone or video call. Please email smclean@eyecentersouth.net with a request and we’ll coordinate. We also hosted a staff luncheon, and a MD/OD dinner to welcome him back home to Dothan. Thank you to those of you who took time out of your busy week to attend. Dr. Marius was overwhelmed with the warm reception he received. He is committed to building strong relationships with each other of you and providing excellent care to the patients you refer.
