Dear Valued Patient and Friend,
It has been an honor to serve you and our community for the past 42 years. I have had the privilege of meeting great people and developing lifelong friendships with many. It is with mixed emotions that I have decided to pass the torch and retire. After several years of extensive searching for and meeting many candidates, I am thrilled to announce that Dr. Elizabeth Hanno is taking over the practice. The practice remains privately owned (rather than large chain, commercially owned). I am confident you will agree that the long-standing quality of care you have always received will continue and that the practice is in very good hands.
Elizabeth Hanno, O.D. was raised in Oak Lawn, Illinois. She currently resides in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago. She graduated from Mother McAuley in 2001. She received her bachelors degree from St. Xavier University. She the went on to graduate Cum Laude from the Illinois College of Optometry. She then completed a primary care residency at the Veterans Affairs Illiana Healthcare System in Danville, Illinois. Her article on Anterior Uveitis was published in the Journal of the American Optometric Association. She is a member of the Illinois Optometric Association and the American Optometric Association. Dr. Hanno has been providing optometric care for the last 17 years. When she is not working she loves to spend time with her husband and three children.
I am impressed with the caliber of the talent and quality of care demonstrated by Dr. Hanno. She is committed to your total eye health and will continue providing comprehensive , personalized eye health care with the latest in state of the art technology. I have great faith in her and I know you will enjoy getting to know her as your eye health care provider. In closing , let me express my deep appreciation for your years of loyalty, support and friendship. it has been a pleasure to be your optometrist and I want to take this opportunity to wish you much happiness and good health.
Best regards,
Wendy Schweinfurth, O.D.
