October 2023
DEAR PATIENTS:
I will be retiring as of 12/31/2023.
I came to Mt. Clemens General Hospital in 1979 as a medical student, and never left. It’s been pretty amazing to witness the growth of the hospital and the osteopathic medicine profession over these past 45 years.
It has been my pleasure to provide surgical care to our community.
I am confident that the physicians and office personnel of NESG will continue to provide outstanding service.
Sincerely,
Douglas G. Paulk, D.O., FACOS
President, Northeast Surgical Group, PC.
