A Letter from Dr. Edwin Murr

Dear Valued Patients,

After many fulfilling years of serving the Arlington community, I am writing to share the bittersweet news that I will be retiring from my practice at Arlington Vision Source. This decision did not come easily, as caring for you and your families has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Throughout my years as your eye care provider, I have been honored to watch families grow, help patients achieve better vision, and build lasting relationships with so many of you. Your trust and support have meant the world to me, and I will always cherish the memories and connections we have shared.

As I step into this new chapter of my life, I am pleased to let you know that you will be in excellent hands. Dr. Isaac Schunk, who has been a valued part of our practice since 2018, and Dr. Shivani Patel will continue to provide the high-quality, compassionate care that you deserve. I have the utmost confidence in their abilities and their commitment to our patients, and I know they will carry on the tradition of excellence at Arlington Vision Source.

While I will certainly miss seeing you in the office, I look forward to spending more time with my family and embracing the opportunities that retirement brings. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives and for the trust you have placed in me over the years.

Wishing you all continued health, happiness, and clear vision. May God bless each and every one of you.

With heartfelt gratitude, Dr. Edwin Murr Arlington Vision Source


Welcoming Dr. Shivani Patel

As we honor Dr. Murr’s remarkable career, we also look ahead with great optimism. We are excited to welcome Dr. Shivani Patel, who will officially begin seeing patients at Arlington Vision Source on May 12th.

Dr. Patel brings not only outstanding clinical skills but also a kind and thoughtful approach to care that reflects the values Dr. Murr upheld. She, alongside Dr. Isaac Schunk, is committed to continuing the same patient-first tradition that makes our practice feel like home.

A Tradition of Trust—Continued

Transitions like these are significant, but they are also an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to you. At Arlington Vision Source, our legacy is built on relationships, and we want you to feel confident knowing that our entire team—including our newest member—is here to support your vision and health with the same level of dedication and compassion.

We thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us—and we hope you’ll join us in both celebrating Dr. Murr’s incredible legacy and warmly welcoming Dr. Patel to our family.

With gratitude, The Arlington Vision Source Team
