Dear Dan, Last year I sold my office building and closed my private practice of 30 years after a total of 40 years of practice. I took six weeks off then started working two days at a clinic doing OMT with infants and children and regenerative medicine with chronic pain patients. I took the parts of my practice that I enjoyed the most and continue doing them, but the best part is I no longer take insurance. It was so freeing. I do not manage personnel or the office building. I have 14 grandkids and two more on the way which I get to throughly enjoy. Getting out of AOA leadership was a hard choice but it also freed up family time. So I think ‘retirement’ for me will mean medicine as a 16 hour per week hobby. Works for me! Jun. 7, 2024, at 7:49 am Reply
Glad to hear all is well with you and your Family. I have been retired from practice here in Phoenix and travel frequently to the East Coast to visit 4 grandkids. Life is Good. Arlene England, DO Jun. 17, 2024, at 9:30 am Reply
