We are very excited to let you know that Dr Burdick is accepting all of our patients who want to transfer to her care. All you need to do is send us a record release. She is accepting most of our current insurances.

Once we get your release, we will send your records to Dr Burdick. She will then be in touch with you by email or text. (If you cannot email or text, then she will call.)

Updates from Dr Wood:
7/18 I would like you all to know that my breast cancer has an excellent prognosis and, as requested, I will keep you posted of my progress and plans here. All of your lovely, kind words are very much appreciated.
7/21 update: I have surgery scheduled for 8/23 at Mass General. My
oncologist and surgeon assure me that waiting that long is not a problem. We are working very hard here getting everything ready before then.
Everyone has been so gracious. In the midst of all this, I am feeling very lucky.
8/25/23 update: I had my surgery on the 23rd. It went very well and I am recovering nicely. I am very, very happy to report that my pathology has come back showing nothing worse than the very early stage of cancer that we expected from my biopsy with the margins and the lymph nodes showing no cancer :-) Thank you all again for your well wishes.
11/2/23 update: Although I am not back to 100 percent of my energy, I am steadily improving and getting closer each day. Recovering from surgery has been humbling! I am again very appreciative for all your caring messages. I am also very thankful to Lynn and Dr Hearst for keeping things afloat while I have been out.
Since the beginning of October, I have been working steadily to get the office closed up and now the time has come: Dr Budick and Marlinda have fully moved in. They are doing a fabulous job getting started and I wish them the best of luck. I well remember how this early work of setting up a new office is a lot of work!
Our plans:
In addition to enjoying his retirement, Dr Hearst will be continuing his energy work, For more information, please see is website:

Our most lovely nurse, Lynn Jones, has not yet settled on her next job yet but we know that where ever she ends up, they will be very lucky to have her.
Dr Wood will be continuing her recovery and taking care of her mother who has new difficult medical problems. She expects to return to clinical medicine eventually but does not have a specific plan now.
Thank you all again from all of us and take good care of yourselves!

Below is a list of medical practices that are currently accepting new patients.
- If you have a family member at a practice that is not accepting new patients, it is worth asking whether they would accept a family member of one of their current patients.
- When picking a provider for your child, keep in mind that selecting a family medicine practice will mean they do not need to change providers when they become adults.
