Notice of RetirementSeptember 2, 2020
Dear Patient,
It is with mixed emotions that I formally announce my retirement from the practice of dermatology at Dermatology Associates of Western Connecticut as of December 31, 2020. My last appointments will be in the first week of October. My emotions are mixed because at the age of 74, I am fortunate to be well. I still enjoy practicing dermatology, but I will now focus my time pursuing my interests in the visual arts and sports. I will be retiring to Naples, Florida but hope to return to the Danbury area for some of the summer months.
I was the founder of this dermatology group in 1979 and for 41 years it has been my privilege and honor to provide dermatologic care to you and your family. I have always tried to deliver astute diagnostic and therapeutic advice for any dermatologic challenge presented to me.
Many of you have witnessed changes in this practice. We now have eight healthcare providers and four offices including a brand new state of the art office in Newtown. These substantial additions in dermatologic services are all supported by a qualified and professional clinical, business and administrative staff. I recommend that you continue your care with any of the highly competent providers here at Dermatology Associates. Your records will be filed with us indefinitely. If you should consider transferring your care elsewhere, then we will efficiently send your records as requested.
It has been an amazing journey to have cared for and gotten to know so many of you for so long. I have such great memories of being your caregiver and I will carry them with me forever. Your loyalty to both the practice and me is truly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the confidence you had in me as your dermatologist.
I remain sincerely yours,
Laurence A. Sibrack, MD PhD
