PC MLA Jamie Fox told the PEI legislature Tuesday a south shore family doctor is discontinuing his practice, leaving about 2000 patients in the lurch.
Fox says Dr. Joey Giordani is telling patients he’s leaving PEI the end of July for personal reasons and his practice will close.
Dr. Giordani initially set up his practice in the Crapaud area approximately one year ago but later moved it to Cornwall, where a notice has been posted of his pending departure.
Health Minister Robert Mitchell told the house neither he nor Health PEI have been officially notified of Giordani’s plans.
