Dear Loyal Patients, Families, and Friends,

As I write this it is with mixed emotions that after 49 years in our profession it is time to announce my retirement. For the last 18 months, I have been dealing with increased pain and reduced mobility in my left arm and shoulder. On July 21st, 2022, I had a complete shoulder replacement and I am recovering with Kody at our family cottage, which you all know I love.

It is not easy to leave, but it is time. There were quite a number of interested purchasers, but we needed to find the right "Fit"! Someone who shares our strong core values and someone you can trust- that is Dr. Bhoomika Piplani.

I want to thank the many loyal patients for trusting us with what is so important, your families and partners and friends. Many of you have three generations with us and our team. I want to thank the team for their support of the practice, especially Enza, Jacquie, Ashley, Heather, and Tracy- especially this last while. I am proud of what "WE" have accomplished, and know that the practice remains in good hands. I am proud of Melissa, now an orthodontist, and Brittany, now an orthodontic hygienist, for carrying on in an amazing profession.

I want to introduce Bhoomika not only as a wonderful dentist, but as a friend that I have known through our West Toronto Dental Society. You will still see me in the office as we transition over and I will let her introduce herself.

Again, my sincere thanks for your trust in our team.

All the best,
Tim
