Farewell to my Patients
After nearly 47 years in private OB-GYN practice in Belleville, the time has come for me to retire. I have postponed this date as long as possible by retiring in phases. I started private practice in Belleville in July 1979. I practiced Obstetrics for 35 years until 2014, delivering nearly 10,000 babies. I continued office practice and outpatient surgery until 2020 when, during COVID, I stopped doing surgery. My wife, Linda, retired from the practice in January 2021. Linda's health and my own health are fine. I will still be in the office seeing patients until 7-1-2026. We will be unable to do prescription refills after 6-30-2026. We will keep the office open until about
9-1-2026. If you need any office records, please contact us. After
9-1-2026, your records will be put in storage and not readily accessible. There are two OB-GYN groups in Belleville that accept new patients: Advantia (formerly Heartland), 618-997-5266. and BJC Medical group, 618-234-2390.
It has truly been a privilege and a pleasure to provide your OB-GYN care through all these years. I will definitely miss seeing paitents in the office. Linda and I will still be living in Belleville and we always love to run into patients around town. We thank you for your loyalty and confidence in our care.
Sincerely,
Michael E. Herrmann, M.D.
