Well, well, well.... Seriously?
Thirty two years in (seriously?...), it's time to mention that my time with 'Small Creatures' will soon begin to wind down. The practice has been sold to Dr. Bikramjeet ('Bikram') Sidhu. He will begin his tenure this coming Tues., Sept. 1. I will be staying on for an extended period, working 2 weekdays/ week, and perhaps some WE's & holiday time for Dr. Sidhu. Christine & Christina have also committed to remaining on for an extended period of time! Hopefully, the transition will be as seamless as possible. 'Obi' (TWD) will remain as lead-greeter, also on a part-time basis.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sidhu.
From my perspective, what a run. 32 years at 'Small Creatures', & 45 as a practicing veterinarian. No job is perfect, but I think my main takeaways at this point are very positive. Wonderful patients, clients, staff- I really don't know how things could have worked out any better in my career. I am beyond grateful. Thank you all!
My wife Jan nailed it coupla years ago when she said 'Jim, you deserve to go out on your own terms'.... From my perspective, I believe the arrangement with Dr. Sidhu should be about a 'quadruple win' - still keepin' my finger in the pie, and hopefully supporting pets (always 1st on the list), Dr. Sidhu, the staff & the practice.
It's time.
Thank you so much to all of our four-legged friends & their people.
With very kind regards,
Dr. J
