Update From Dr. Norcini | InSight EyeCare Houston TX

October 2024

To all of my former patients,

First of all, words cannot express my deep gratitude and how heartwarming it has been for me to see how many of you have reached out to the office to check on my well-being. It means the world to me. My 42 years of being able to care for your eyesight, one of our most precious commodities, has made my life richer and given it more meaning. The fact that so many of you have entrusted me to care for you, in many cases over decades, has been so, so gratifying.

Secondly, from my conversations with Dr. Glickman, I’ve heard some of you are asking if I’m ever returning to see patients again. While I am in remission, I’m still dealing with a few issues in my recovery from this brutal disease. I made the decision in 2023 to retire and entrust your care to Dr. Glickman. Patients of mine who have seen her since my retirement have been very pleased with her level of care, from the professionalism she shows to the empathy she has. I could not have left InSight EyeCare in better hands. I am definitely staying retired. My plan is to focus on my health and pursue my other interests in life including golf, nature photography, landscaping and gardening.

Again,thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with your eyesight for all of these years. I will miss our conversations, jokes, and bantering back and forth. I have so many fond memories I will carry for the rest of my life.

Sincerely and with the warmest regards, Don Norcini, O. D.

To my current and former InSight EyeCare Patients,

Many of you have been asking me over the last few years “When are you going to retire? All my other doctors have already retired, and you are not allowed to do that yet!” My standard response was to have a good laugh and say, “I’ve got 3-4 more years I want to work, although at an easier and lighter schedule, as long as my health holds up”. Unfortunately, my health hasn’t. I’ve recently been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer called Multiple Myeloma, which although not currently curable, is very treatable. In addition to the physical toll, the treatment will be time-consuming and require frequent interruptions to my schedule. With this in mind, I have made the difficult decision to transition my patients’ care to my partner of seven years, Dr. Victoria Glickman.

Many of you have already met her, have been treated by her, or have seen her with me in our office. She is a fantastic doctor, competent, easy-going with a great bedside manner, and treats patients the way I’ve always tried to treat each one of you. We have made an excellent team and Dr. Glickman has brought InSight into the 21st century by keeping everything up to date and utilizing technology in a way that benefits each patient we see. I have been privileged to call her my partner over the years and can honestly say that they have been the most enjoyable of my 42-year career!

I can still see some of you this year before I retire, but we will attempt to transfer many of you to Dr. Glickman as my schedule will be limited and require long wait times. Once you meet Dr. Glickman, I am confident you will come away impressed and quite satisfied with the care and compassion she delivers.

Words fail me when I attempt to express my disappointment in not being able to continue my relationship with so many of you after all these years together. The bonds we have developed over time continue to touch my heart, and I will carry those with me for the rest of my life. I want to truly thank you for the trust, confidence and loyalty you have shown me over the years. Like I said, it means more to me than I can ever express.

With my deepest regards, I will miss all of you immensely.

Sincerely,

Donald J. Norcini, O. D.
