What I am Thankful for

November, being the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving, traditionally is a month to reflect on things to be thankful for.  What am I thankful for?

 

  • I’m thankful for my health and the health of my family.  We had more health issues this past year than in previous years, with my broken foot, both of my kids catching COVID at different times, and health scares for each of my elderly parents, but in the end, everyone fully recovered.
     

  • I’m thankful for office staff members that give it their all when it comes to taking care of  30+ patients in the office every day!
     

  • I’m thankful for patients and families that trust me and my staff to take care of them and are understanding of how busy it’s been lately.

What’s stayed the same:

  • With the exception of a couple of years in the middle and rare short vacations (at least before COVID), my patients know they’re always seeing the same doctor!

  • Though Veronica wasn’t here right when this location opened, she’s been a fixture at the front desk for over the last eight years!

  • The four-year-old vaccines come with a small stuffed animal (though the specific toys have changed over the years!)

  • My patients have always had 24/7 after hours direct email or phone access to me.

  • My approach to patient care is still based on applying the foundation of evidence-based medicine in an individualized approach to each patient taking into account his/her unique situation.

  • What I treasure the most is the relationship I build with each family over the years, as well as every present and piece of artwork any patient has ever bestowed upon me.

But most of all, I’m thankful to have had a 4 ½ day weekend over Thanksgiving to be able to get much needed rest and relaxation, connect with family that I had not seen in almost three years, and recharge.  I had been starting to feel like I was running on fumes!  I feel sooo much better and ready to face the onslaught of winter illnesses again!
