Dear Patient and Family,

With a mixture of sadness and gratitude, I announce the closing of my practice after 45 wonderful years in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Eye Muscle Specialty. As of August 30, 2024, I will be retiring.

Serving as your eye doctor has been an immense privilege and honor. Over the years, I have had the joy of building relationships with so many of you and being a part of your lives. I am incredibly grateful, humbled, and appreciative that you have allowed me to be part of your life’s journey, just as you have been a part of mine. Each day of my career has been a unique opportunity to touch lives in ways that have brought me immense joy. I will treasure these memories forever.

I have thoroughly enjoyed living and working in Cincinnati since founding the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Children’s Hospital in July 1979. However, I am now an empty nester. My wife Barbara (who you may know as my "Do-Everything" office manager) and I have two sons and six grandchildren, all of whom reside in
Florida. We are looking forward to moving there and spending much more time with our family.

As my practice closes, I understand the importance of finding a new pediatric ophthalmologist. While it will be up to you to connect with a provider of your choice, I can recommend the following options:

Dear Dr. Burke,

I wanted to send you a sincere thank you for the care and compassion that you extended to my three children and to me during their stay at the Good Samaritan Hospital NICU.

I always had complete confidence in your diagnostic and management skills concerning their ROP, and I was very appreciative of your candid, yet cautious approach. During our follow up appointments, I found your office staff to be extremely courteous and dutiful in keeping up with insurance companies.

Having a premature baby, and in my case three babies, is a very terrifying time in a mother’s life. But, I can assure you, having the option to choose the best physician to care for your children helps relieve some of the stress.

We will see you December for their follow up appointments.

Sincerely, Sheila M.D.
