Many Westerly Hospital Doctors Moving Offices Beginning June 1

By Ellyn Santiago

Beginning Saturday, June 1, more than a dozen Westerly Hospital-affiliated doctors will have moved, figuratively and literally, to L+M Medical Group, the new hospital parent company. Many will have their offices re-located from Westerly to Stonington and some will also have office hours at alternate locations.  

If you are a patient of one of the following physicians, and have an appointment scheduled after June 1, expect to be going to a different office from now on.     

Those doctors are: 
Paul Benoit, Jr., MD 
Edsell Bernardo, MD 
Paul Bourguignon, MD 
Jeffrey Christian, MD 
Walter Scott Curtice, MD 
Robert Greenlee, MD 
Adrian Hamburger, MD 
Michael Harwood, MD 
Rajesh Gupta, MD 
Brandi Iovino, DO 
Louis Iovino, DO 
Barbara Muir, PA-C 
Stephen Phelan, MD 
James Stuart, DO 
Susan Stuart, DO 
Timothy Olson, MD, PhD 
Tara Whelan, DO   

Another part of the transition includes “new scheduling and electronic health record systems,” which may cause initial appointment delays, according to the hospital. The hospital is asking that patients print and complete forms from this site in advance of any visits going forward. www.lmphysicians.org   

Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, which is based in New London, is in the process of purchasing the Westerly Hospital. In April, L+M's $69 million bid was approved by the Rhode Island attorney general and the Rhode Island Department of Health.
