I try to keep my personal life out of the professional side of me. It isn't always an easy thing to do, because many patients I keep seeing and they have noticed changes.

On Friday, Feb 19th, I was married and from all accounts this is a good thing for the practice!  The reason it is good is that she will soon be moving here.  Some of you may have noticed that on certain Mondays the office would not open until 11 am -- that is because I was flying back and forth from Tampa - where she lives. That is all coming to an end.

So - thank you for your well wishes-- and you will all notice two changes in the office.  Some have noticed that I smile a lot more- and we are getting a new doggie.
