It is with mixed emotions that I find myself writing this letter to some of the most wonderful people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I am deeply honored to have been your dentist over the years. and I have appreciated each of you. Although dentistry is a demanding profession. l have enjoyed coming into the office to see my patients for over 45 years. After much thought however. I realize the time has come to tum over my practice to a great young dentist named Dr. John Lee. I have searched for a dentist who would care for you as I have, and I feel that I have found that person in Dr. Lee. The office staff has met Dr. Lee and they also give their endorsement. Your patient records will remain with the practice as will my current staff. I will be staying with the practice for a while on a limited basis to assist with the transition.
