We regret to inform you of the sudden passing of Dr Johan Samanta of a heart attack on September 17, 2023. Dr. Samanta cared deeply for his patients, and he will be greatly missed.

To help with a seamless transition, your medical records will be transferred to Foothills Neurology, and can be obtained from their office after mid-January. If you are requesting medical records prior to mid-January, please contact the Dreamy Draw office. You can also request that your records be sent by filling out a medical release form (available on www.mdsdocs.us) and sending it to the Dreamy Draw office if prior to mid-January, and to the Foothills Neurology after that. If you wish to seek care elsewhere, you can contact the Parkinsons Movement Disorders Alliance (pmdalliance.org), the Dystonia Foundation (dystonia-­foundation.org). Please note that the website www.mdsdocs.us will also be kept up as a source for general information.
