More information needed on closure of Dr. Migden’s practice

To the Editor:

Thank you for your article in the July 21 Enterprise.  You provided useful information concerning the closing of Dr. Migden’s office that I was unable to find anywhere else.

Dr. Migden has been my doctor since 1992 when she began to practice in Altamont.  I am appalled at the  tactics St. Peter’s Health Partners chose in closing Dr. Migden’s practice, and at their complete lack of consideration for her many patients.  St. Peter’s and Trinity Health should be ashamed of themselves.

I learned of the office being closed two weeks after the event, when I received a telephone call from a restricted number (why a restricted number?), offering to make an appointment with a doctor that I had never heard of and offering no explanation concerning Dr. Migden’s practice.

I very much hope that your newspaper will continue to search for more information.
