Dear friends:

It is with profound sorrow I inform you that Dr. Frank Raio has passed away. He succumbed to his battle with cancer on November 16th, 2004.

Frank exemplified the very essence of excellence in family medicine. His kindness and dedication to his patients was as boundless as his compassion for them, coupled with his belief in serving the greater good of the community. As my partner, mentor and friend, I have had the privilege to work along side of and learn from him. I cherish that experience and strive to live up to the examples he set, both professionally and personally.

It is in this spirit that my staff and I rededicate ourselves to provide you with the best possible care. After all, we've had a wonderful teacher.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (516) 565-2060. Please join me in expressing to Dr. Raio's family our sincerest condolences on their loss.

Regards,

Dr. Lisa J. Lehnert, D.O.
