A Letter From Dr. Lehman To His Patients
To my patients,
It is with mixed emotions that I am writing you today. After twenty-two years of practicing dentistry I have decided that it is time for me to retire from the profession and pursue other interests. This decision did not come easy as I know it affects so many people. When I started in 1989, I made the commitment to create a relationship based dental practice. One where patients felt comfortable in our presence and coming to the dentist was like visiting friends. It is …my sincerest hope that I have been able to provide you with such an experience as we have worked together over the years as a partnership in your dental health. That is what makes this decision difficult. I value each and every one of you and it has been my sincere honor to be your dentist. However, it is time for me to explore new horizons. The team you have come to know will remain. They are committed to continuing the relationships created over the years while providing you and your families with exceptional dental care.
I would like to introduce Dr. Christopher Hatae as the doctor who will be providing your future care. I can't wait for you to meet him! There were over twenty five interested candidates in my practice. After I had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Hatae, it was an easy decision. I chose him because he is committed to continue the type of treatment and relationship based dental care you have come to expect. He and I both graduated from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at The University of the Pacific. We have similar personalities and temperaments. I think you will find him a personable and gifted professional who will have your best interests at heart. A Southern California native and current Fullerton resident, Dr. Hatae has completed extensive continuing education with some of the most respected clinicians in dentistry.
The ladies in the office have met Dr. Hatae and think highly of him. I would encourage you to stop by the office and introduce yourself or greet him at your next visit.
I thank you for your trust whether it has been one year or twenty- two years. I wish all of you good health and much happiness.
Sincerely and respectfully,
J. Stephen Lehman, D.D.S.
