Haag Brown Commercial is proud to announce that Charles Retina Institute (CRI) has officially acquired a 5,100 SF turn-key medical facility at 
637 E. Matthews Avenue—right in the 
of Jonesboro’s Matthews Medical Mile. The acquisition was led by Dr. Stephen Huddleston, CRI’s President and Managing Partner.
For many years, this building was home to The Podiatry Group, a respected and established medical practice in the Jonesboro community. The facility was formerly owned by Dr. Reiner, who has been retired for several years. Until recently, Dr. Coates continued serving patients at this location as a dedicated Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Coates sadly passed away at the end of last year. He was a beloved figure in the local medical community and served Jonesboro with great compassion and care for decades. His impact will not be forgotten.
