Happy New Year From the Boss

I want to take a moment to wish my wonderful office staff at Dartmouth Medical a Happy New Year. Dallas Leonard, NP has been practicing at Dartmouth for over a year and I am so gratified to rely on her judgement and clinical acumen in the care of our patients. It is one of the joys of my life to be able to work with each of the staff members every day. I appreciate all of the staff for your insight, observations and opinions regarding the running of the practice and each of you brings a different perspective to your jobs. It is often revealing for me to sit at the nurses desk or to look out the reception window and imagine what it must be like to come to work each day. In this way, I am able to help solve the problems you may encounter, reaffirm and protect our valuable office culture and move the practice forward.

As always, our office will face new challenges and growth in this new year. I hope to be the best manager that I can be and to steward the practice wisely in the coming year.

Very Special Thanks:
