Dear RPA Families,

I hope this email finds you and your loved ones in good health and spirits. I am writing today with a mixture of emotions as I announce my retirement, this July, from RPA after a rewarding 50-year journey as a pediatrician. It has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve your child/children and witness their growth and thriving over the years.

As much as I have cherished the professional side of my journey, one of the most fulfilling aspects has been the relationships formed with each of you, the parents. Your trust in my care and your willingness to include me in your parenting journey has been invaluable. From bringing in your squiggling, crying infants to guiding you through the challenges of middle school years, and witnessing your children emerge as accomplished young adults, it has been an incredible privilege.

As I embark on this new chapter in my life, I want to express my deepest gratitude for allowing me to be a part of your lives and entrusting me with the care of your child/children. I am truly humbled by the memories we’ve created together and the trust that you have placed in me. The support and appreciation shown by each and every one of you has made my journey as a pediatrician incredibly fulfilling.

Please be assured that RPA has an exceptional team of experienced and compassionate pediatricians who will continue to provide the highest quality healthcare to your children. I have full confidence in their abilities and know that they will serve you well.

Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of my incredible journey. Your support and the smiles of your children will be cherished forever. I wish you and your families continued health, happiness and success.

With warm regards,

Dr. B
