Announcements
In December 2006, we moved offices to join the Scottsdale Healthcare Diabetes Program and an adult endocrinology practice under Dr. Atul Lalani. The program name for the whole office is "Scottsdale Healthcare Endocrinology Institute" and is at 9700 N. 91st St., Suite B220, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. The new phone number is 480-323-4800. We are option "3" on the initial voice mail tree.
Dr. Joel Hahnke, trained at PCH, joined us in July. He just recently achieved board certification in pediatric endocrinology! SWPE is very proud of this achievement! Please let us know if you'd like to see his CV.

Our second office, in the East Valley on the campus of Banner Desert Medical Center and the new Banner Children's Hospital, is now open. All appointments will be made through the current phone number.
Dr. Hahnke is in the Mesa office Monday through Wednesday, and in the Scottsdale office Thursday and Friday.

Dr. Perelman is in the Mesa office on Thursday and the rest of the week in Scottsdale.
We are sad to announce that Dr. Sobczak will be leaving the practice at the end of February, 2008. We wish her well in her new endeavour. We will be happy to arrange follow up appointments with either Dr. Perelman or Dr. Hahnke.
Lately, we have had a lot of no show patients or last minute cancellations. We cannot fill these slots. Other patients may be waiting for months to see us. We will charge $50 for a new patient that no shows or cancels with less than 24 hour notice or $30 for a follow up patient with the same criteria.
Please take a moment to sign onto iHealthRecord and record yours or your child's information. Thanks!
