I brought with me a desire to practice the highest standard of medicine, as a loving and caring human being who was also trained in the specialty of Family Practice. My philosophy of medicine holds the doctor to be an educator-the true definition of the word doctor. I have attempted in that role of educator to practice preventive medicine, as well as therapeutic intervention. I have an abiding belief in the biblical phrase that tells us it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. 1 have attempted to demonstrate my belief in good health maintenance by practicing that which I preach. There have been occasions in which my alliances have been in discord with this philosophy; projects started that will not be completed. Yes, there are some regrets. For the most part, it has been extremely gratifying to experience the warm acceptance of what appeared to be in this area at least, a non-traditional medical practice. In the end, it is clear that we all share the same goals of an improved quality of life. It now becomes necessary for me to move the basis of my practice, and my office in Village Pines will be closing effective July 1, 1992. For the honored patients in my practice who wish to continue with me, I welcome the opportunity to discuss these plans further. Please contact my office or my home at your convenience. For those individuals with whom my association in a patient-doctor relationship shall end, I thank you for the pleasure of that acquaintance. With my most sincere regards...
