Update on Dr. Harbison's move

[Guest guest]

Cindy (and I am posting this to everyone):

I finally got ahold of a live person at Dr. Harbison's office.

Here is an update.

1) Yadira and the office staff are no longer at Cornell Weill. (I don't know if

that means that they are already working at Mt. Sinai to get things ready or

what, but the person at Cornell answering the phone certainly wasn't going to

tell me).

2) Dr. Harbison (as well as Dr. Neu and the balance of the staff of their dept.)

are leaving Cornell Weill at the end of this May, and will begin at Mt. Sinai

effective the first week of June.

3) Dr. Harbison continues to see her currently scheduled patients ONLY at

Cornell Weill. No one is scheduling any patients at this time beyond her

current schedule.

4) Cornell Weill is in the process of sending all of the Dr. Harbison patients

in their database a letter with a medical records release form. It is

imperative that you sign this form and return it ASAP. This will allow your

records to transfer with Dr. Harbison to Mt. Sinai. Yadira will then call

everyone who has appts in the system from May onwards (appts at Cornell Weill)

-- she will call us and reschedule for new ones at Mt. Sinai.

5) For those of you who are NEW and would like to make an appointment with Dr.

Harbison, we have to wait a bit until we get a phone number where Yadira will be

at Mt. Sinai when she has a working office and working appointment book.

6) For those of you who are CURRENT patients and haven't made a future

appointment yet, also be patient.

Transitions for doctors moving to new hospitals are always very time consuming

and difficult and require a lot of patience on everyone's part. We thank you in

advance.

Please note, however that Dr. H visit times at the convention are going to be

ESPECIALLY booked. Do your best to arrive on Wednesday or early on Thursday if

you want to be assured of a visit time. And remember, I can not " reserve " you a

visit time until you have already registered for the convention. Once you have

registered, MAGIC will mail you a 2-pg questionnaire -- fill this out and mail

it back to me.

Thank you again for all your patience. Salem, MAGIC's RSS/SGA Division

Hi and All,

My daughter was scheduled to see Dr.H on April 16th and when I was

signing in, the secreatary told me that " by the way you won't be

seeing Dr.h today, isabel will be just measured " and I was really mad

but she said she left us a voice message regarding that and I never

recieved it. We live in NJ so it wasn't bad for us but if any of you

are scheduled to see Dr.H and coming from far places pleaese call

them and ask if you will be able to see Dr.H. Anyway I ran into Dr.H

on the hallway and she said I wil be getting a letter in the mail

with the phone. no to call to make an appt. with her at Mt.Sinai.

Regards,

Mini - isabel's mom

Yadira is not at Mt. Sinai yet. She took the month of April off and

will start at Mt. Sinai in May. I must have had a chatty person on

the phone. He gave me lots of info about the move. Nothing that

has not already posted - except for the part about Yadira.

We have an appointment with Dr H tomorrow. After about 15 phone

calls, I finally got through and had someone check on my appointment

for me.

I was told that our appointment is going ahead, and that Dr H will be

there tomorrow.

I will let everyone know tomorrow what happens.
