The decision to retire can be very tough for physicians. After so many years practicing medicine, it can feel positively foreign to think of not seeing patients every day. But eventually, the time comes when retirement is the best course of action. When that time comes for you, let My Retired Doctor help.

How can My Retired Doctor help me retire? You may be wondering.

You may be thinking – many physicians who retired in the past didn’t need help retiring. They just finished up their affairs, passed their patient records onto another doctor, and that was the end of it.

But now it’s not that simple. Now there are government regulations that govern the proper storage and disposal of medical records. This is particularly important now that identity theft is rampant in the US and in many other parts of the globe. So simply announcing your retirement and closing your practice within a few days simply isn’t possible anymore. It’s much more complicated – but properly taking care of your patients’ medical records is very important to ensure their sensitive medical information stays safe and secure.
