To our Valued Patient,

We are writing to inform you of upcoming changes within our Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Dr. Mary Stoffel, Dr. Karla Dickmeyer, Dr. Kate Sample and Dr. Beth Wiedel have decided to leave Associated Physicians, LLP to form a new women's health practice in the Madison area called Madison Women’s Health, LLP. The doctors plan to continue working at Associated Physicians, LLP until April 30th after which they will be seeing patients at their new clinic.

Dr. Jenny Hackforth-Jones will be joined in our Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Associated Physicians, LLP by Dr. Laura Berghahn, Dr. JoDee Brandon and Dr. Barbara Burns Weise. Dr. Berghahn and Dr. Brandon have practiced for years in the Madison area and are already on staff at Meriter Hospital. Dr. Burns Weise obtained her medical degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is returning to Wisconsin after training at the University of Iowa and practicing for several years in Indiana.

Our mutual goal is to continue to provide the highest level of care for you. All plans of care, especially for our obstetric patients, will continue without disruption, either with Associated Physicians, LLP or with Madison Women's Health, LLP. We are developing plans to address outstanding appointments, possible insurance and billing issues, and will provide more information as it becomes available.

If you have questions regarding your care at Associated Physicians, LLP, please feel free to call our office at (608) 233-9746 or review our website for updates at www.apmadison.com. For questions regarding Madison Women's Health, LLP, you may contact them at (608) 729-6300 or visit their website at www.madisonwomenshealth.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Partners of Associated Physicians, LLP
