Retiring effective September 1, 2021

 To My Valued Patients: 

I am retiring effective September 1, 2021. My practice will be in full operation until then and I look forward to the opportunity to assist you with your dermatology issues.

First and foremost, it has been an absolute pleasure serving as your trusted family dermatologist.  I began Family Dermatology 30 years ago in 1991. I feel immensely honored to have been given the chance to be part of your medical care and watch many of you and your families grow and flourish over these years. 

During my retirement I look forward to spending more time with my family, delving deeper into the craft of photography, and traveling to many of the places I learned about from you. 

I have given a lot of thought to ensuring an excellent continuation of dermatologic care for you. I will be turning over my practice to the Gould-Jacobson Dermatology Group, also here in Menlo Park. Their office is located just around the corner at 695 Oak Grove Avenue, Suite 220. Their telephone number is (650) 327-5783.

William Gould MD, Elizabeth Gould MD, and Sarah Jacobson MD are fine, talented, and experienced dermatologists. To learn more about their excellent training and background, and more about their practice, please visit their website at gjdermatology.com. For many years, their team has been taking care of my patients as the on-call practice when I am out of the office. We share fundamental ideas about medical practice and patient care. Those of you who have consulted these three physicians have been very pleased with the superb and compassionate care you’ve received. I highly recommend you visit them for your dermatologic needs. They offer both medical and cosmetic services. They will have all your Family Dermatology medical records available to continue your care.

You may choose to transfer your care to other dermatologists. We can provide your medical records to you to facilitate transition.

Again, thank you for many great years!
