Behavioral Clinic for children and young adults
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PATIENTS
Closure of Georgetown Kids Behavioral Clinic
Dear Patient,
I am writing to inform you that Georgetown Kids Behavioral Clinic will permanently close for patient visits at the end of February 2026, and I, Doris E. Hossalla, M.D., will no longer be providing clinical care after March 31, 2026.
It has been an honor to serve the children and families of this community. The decision to close my practice has not been made lightly, and I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me.
Key Dates
• Final day of patient appointments: Friday, February 27, 2026
• Last day for prescriptions to be written: Tuesday, March 31, 2026
After March 31, 2026, I will no longer be available to issue prescriptions or refill medications.Finding a New Physician
I encourage you to begin the process of transferring care as soon as possible to ensure continuity of treatment. Start by contacting your primary care provider or your child’s pediatrician. If you don’t have a primary care provider or your child does not currently have a pediatrician, you may want to contact your insurance provider for a list of in-network physicians. Psychiatrists (medical doctors who specialize in mental health) also can prescribe controlled medications, though the wait times for appointments can be lengthy.
