Dear Patients,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement after nearly sixty years as a practicing physician, with forty-five of those having been spent serving the Antelope Valley community.

I have dedicated my life to the treatment of my patients and I consider myself fortunate to have had such a long and rewarding career.

I thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in me.

Additionally, I would like to thank the hospital administrations, nurses, staff, and other personnel at Palmdale Regional Medical Center and Antelope Valley Medical Center for your friendship and service all these years.

For medical records requests, there is a $25 cost for records which helps to cover the cost of obtaining your medical records from storage, shipping and handling. Please download the Medical Records Request form, complete it, and email it to Lisa@lancasterheart.com. Please make sure your email is clearly legible on the request form. You will be emailed a Square invoice for the $25 records fee. Please use the link in that email to pay the fee.

For any other questions, please call 661.945.4433 or email me at LHIsurgery@gmail.com.

I wish you good health and happiness.

Sincerely,

Tom Mahendra, M.D.
