After 37 wonderful years I am planning to retire from the clinical practice of medicine In December 2025. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me and am truly joyful remembering the many precious moments I have been privileged to share in your lives. I hope I have succeeded in helping you toward a healthier and happier life along the way. You have certainly enriched mine.
Joined the practice in 1988 shortly after its inception by Paul Peebles. We embarked on a unique journey, practicing a style of medicine that provided specialty care within the framework of a general pediatric practice. Our approach gives us the freedom to spend more time with patients and to focus fully on both their physical and emotional health. We attracted the best doctors and a compassionate staff and grew along with our families and their needs Into the Teen and Young Adult Care Center. I have now had the delight of taking care of the children of former pediatric patients my “grandpatients.”
As I look back, I am filled with deep appreciation for the relationships we have built-sharing In milestones, offering comfort during challenges, and witnessing the remarkable growth of so many children into extraordinary young adults. Each story, each smile, and every moment of resilience has left a lasting imprint on my heart.
While it is hard to leave the wonderful people I work with and the many special patients and families who gave me such a personally rewarding career, the good news is that the best
pediatricians and young: adult primary care practitioners in the whole region will still be right here along with our remarkable staff. Our tradition of warmth, expertise, and genuine concern for every family remains the foundation of our practice. They will continue to take care of you and your family. I have already let many of you know of my plans during your appointments, but for those who haven’t been in the office recently, I am be available in the coming months. For those allergy patients who still need to transition to a new Allergist, please arrange a Visit to plan that. Thank you once again for your trust and the privilege of caring for your families. I will cherish the memories, always.
