To my dear clients,
After a long and hard period of soul searching, I have decided to retire from practicing veterinary medicine full time. I will be reducing my presence at the Northford Veterinary Clinic starting this January.
I will be leaving you in the very capable and compassionate hands of Doctor Irving Minott who will lead my stellar team, Kaylie, Cindy, Lindsey, Lauren, and Larysa.
It has been an honor and pleasure to be part of your lives all these years. I wish your families both two and four legged all the best in health and happiness. My relationship with all my clients, patients and coworkers is what has made this profession so special to me.
I appreciate your loyalty and trust through the years. Fond memories of all that I have experienced over these past thirty five years will always be with me.
Respectfully,
Greg Azzolin
