Thank You
Dear Dr. Bat, I think I came to you first some 25 years ago. Finding a doctor was a frustration after moving to Atlanta. Y'all took good care of me from the beginning. And I suspect your care has extended my life. You put me on a Lipitor because of my dad's coronary history (my brothers didn't and he had a heart attack) and you sent me to a urologist once my PSA hit 4 (I had a prostatectomy Tuesday). So I simply want to express my gratitude. I have present and future grandbabies to love on and I can't yet be taken off the playing field. We recently moved to LaGrange, GA where both our daughters live. I suspect we will inevitably need to move to a practice down here, but whenever we disengage we will leave with some regret. Please know that you, Dr. Shack, and your entire staff have been a blessing in my life. Best regards.
