Thank You To My Patients

For my patients and families:

Thank you so much for the honor and privilege of being your pediatrician.

It is with a heavy heart that I need to tell you that I’m leaving Surf City Pediatrics. Truly it has overall been a wonderful experience—joining a work family and creating a community of patient families.

“We didn’t always live on Mango Street. Before that we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before Keelier it was Paulina, and before that I can’t remember. But what I remember most is moving a lot. Each time it seemed there’d be more of us. By the time we got to Mango Street we were six—Mama, Papa, Carolos, Kiki, my sister Nenny and me.”

“Even as a little girl, I had thought that the swamp was a magical place where new lives began and old ones ended, where enemies and heroes weren’t always waht one expected, and where anything could happen, even to a clumsy princess.”
