North Oaks Physician Group Announces Departure of Dr. Anthony D. Haase III

North Oaks Physician Group announces the departure of Dr. Anthony D. Haase III from North Oaks Primary Care Clinic in Independence effective in January 2018. Haase and his family will be relocating to Tennessee.

North Oaks Primary Care – Independence, which is located at 230 Masonic Drive, will remain open following Haase’s departure from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Patients can continue to schedule appointments at this location by calling (985) 230-APPT [2778] or (844) APPT-NOW [277-8669].

“Our immediate plans call for other primary care providers on our team to staff the clinic on a rotating basis,” explains Percival Kane, chief ambulatory officer for North Oaks Health System. “This will afford us time in the interim to reassess our options, given Dr. Haase’s impending departure.”

North Oaks Physician Group also has five primary care clinics within 15 miles of the Independence practice in the cities of Hammond and Ponchatoula to meet the needs of the community.

“While Dr. Haase will be greatly missed, we respect his decision to do what is best for his family,” affirms Michele Sutton, president and chief executive officer of North Oaks Health System. “We will be forever grateful for the exceptional care that Dr. Haase has provided patients at our Independence clinic these past six years, and we wish him continued success in future endeavors.”
