Dear Patients,
After 46 years of practicing optometry here in Sonoma, I have decided that it is time for me to retire. I want to sincerely thank you for trusting me with your vision and eye health throughout all these years. It has been an honor and a privilege to care for you, and I have learned so much from the many people I have had the opportunity to meet.
I am not leaving Sonoma. My children and grandchildren are all here, so you will continue to see me around town. If our paths should cross, please say hello. We live in a small town, and I like that.
I also want to let you know about the excellent eye care provider we have here in Sonoma. You may wish to establish or continue your eye care with one of them, Including:
Sonoma Optometry
Sonoma Valley Community Health Center Vision Clinic
North Bay Eye Associates
Sonoma Eye
They have all helped me over the years, and I am confident you will be well cared for by them.
My last day seeing patients for examinations will be November 13, 2026. My office will officially close on December 31, 2026.
Your medical records will be available to you. If you would like a copy of your records, please contact my office before the office closes. You may also contact me by email at after December 31, 2026, regarding your records.
Again, I want to thank all of you. I have had a wonderful 46 years career, and each of you has helped make that possible. It is now time for a new chapter and more time with my family.
I wish you all a good health and the very best.
Best wishes,
Dean Ezaki, OD
