A Letter to Our Families

Nov 21, 2022 – Dr. Paul

Dear Parents,

I want to thank you for allowing me the privilege of caring for your children (and grandchildren)! I also am grateful for your loyalty and patience over the years. As we continue into our 34th year of practice and 14th year of our unique practice model (small solo medical office, modest family retainer fee) I feel blessed to have a diverse blend of families. You seem to appreciate the kind of care we are trying to provide. The annual fee has allowed us to continue practicing pediatric medicine as I imagined I would early on in my training. It also allows me to maintain independence, free from ownership by a hospital chain or a large group who could potentially exert influence that might run contrary to the care that you have come to expect.

Our practice model has allowed us to maintain our modus operandi, particularly the judicious scheduling of well visits. Although we are not a concierge practice, we are told that there is a “concierge feel” to how we operate. We appreciate being able to offer our community a unique pediatric office. We understand that you place value on a smaller, more personal medical practice for your children’s health care, one that offers services like home and virtual visits, email access, and books. If our fee represents an undue hardship for you, please speak to me privately about it.

Again, I very much appreciate your continued loyalty and trust.

Sincerely,

Doctor Paul
