November 2020 Machias – DECH bids a fond farewell to Urologist, Dr. Dhanvant Rathod, for 16 years of dedicated service. And, gives a warm welcome to Dr. Mark Hirschhorn who will begin practicing at DECH in January.
Dr. Dhanvant Rathod has traveled the roads between Machias and New York for 16 years for the Urology practice at Down East Community Hospital (DECH). We appreciate his resolute determination to maintain urologic services in Washington County and his commitment to the community and DECH.
