Patients are not people with whom to argue or match wits. They deserve courteous, attentive treatment at all times. Patients bring us their needs. It is our duty, both to them and to ourselves, to handle them properly. Patients make it possible to pay salaries and expenses so we may serve other patients.
Patients are the most important people in our profession and practice.
Many important issues brought forward this decision and commitment to return to my native East Tennessee. My greatest regret is leaving the patients of Cardiology Consultants behind. You have been among my finest teachers, best friends, and closest confidants. You will be truly missed. However, the 16 remaining cardiologists of Cardiology Consultants will continue to provide you care.
