Thanks to Dr. Joanna Wen for Her Help This Busy Season

Good luck to Dr. Wen with all of her future practice developments. I'll let her adjust to her new schedule for a little bit before I start bugging her about working with me on a Virginia Optometric Association Committee ... or two ... with me. : ) - jw

It's been about two weeks since Dr. Wen's last official day at TLC Tysons Corner. I think that I have successfully completed all stages of grief now. What a long process this has been! Starting in January, she transitioned into a full time position at her private practice in Manassas. Since her practice duties would significantly increase, continuing on as a per diem OD for the TLC Tysons team would only detract from her primary responsibilities, and we just could not have that happening.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Dr. Wen for all of her help this busy season. She learned refractive surgery co-management details at a record pace, took on filled-to-the-brim schedules, saw patients with great efficiency, and managed to do that always with a smile on her face. When I think back on these past few months, I feel like our TLC Tysons team would have been lost without her here.
