Please note my new address. My wife and I moved to South Carolina in June of 2021 to be closer to my family. My younger sister is currently living with us as well. My older brother, his wife, and their two adult children and their families live close by.
On a personal note, it was not an easy decision for me to retire. As some of you know, I have considered retiring for the last several years but have felt duty bound to help as many of my patients as possible. I am aware that it is not possible for you to get the same treatment I offered from any other provider, and so I kept at it. It has also been difficult to retire because I feel personally close to so many of you, especially those of you who have been seeing me for many years.
My long medical career has finally come to an end. I graduated medical school in 1977, so I have been practicing medicine for 43 years. The last 12 years of my practice have in many ways been some of the most personally rewarding years of my career. I went into medicine to help people, and I have especially enjoyed my time helping you.
I celebrated my 70th birthday in June of 2021. One thing I have learned from the coronavirus pandemic is that whatever time I have left, I wish to spend with my family.
In closing, it has been a privilege to have been your doctor. In truth, I miss you. I wish and pray for your good health, and for that of your family.
Most sincerely,
Dr. Knox
