We are excited to welcome patients from Batish Family Medicine to Dawson Med at Leland!
Our mission is to provide high-quality, individualized, and relationship-based care in a community-focused environment. Established in 2021, Dawson Med is a neighboring, locally owned practice, making it easy and convenient for patients to continue their care close to home.
Dr. Batish has been an incredible part of the Leland community for nearly 30 years, and we are honored to continue caring for his patients. Our team is committed to maintaining the same level of compassionate, personalized care you’ve come to expect.
After nearly three decades of caring for the Leland community, Dr. Batish will be retiring from the practice of family medicine.
To ensure continuity and stability for patients, Batish Family Medicine will transition to Dawson Med at Leland, a neighboring, locally based practice.
Dawson Med Primary and Urgent Care is located just four miles away and has served the greater Wilmington area since 2021.
Moving forward, Dawson Med Primary and Urgent Care will assume care for Batish Family Medicine patients under the name Dawson Med at Leland, continuing the tradition of community-centered, relationship-based care close to home.
The effective date of the transition is April 1, 2026.
After this date, Dawson Med at Leland will assume responsibility for managing patient care, scheduling, billing, and medical records.
Family medicine has been a calling for Dr. Batish, and serving the Leland community since 1998 has been one of the most meaningful chapters of his life.
