As difficult as my decision was to begin retirement, it has been made easier knowing I am leaving you in the very capable and experienced hands. Dr. Lauren Ballard, who bought the practice in 2019, will continue to provide the top quality care you deserve.
Thank you again for all the years of loyalty and friendship you have given me. I am extremely grateful.
