We are pleased to announce that we will be joining the John Muir Medical Group. You can read the letter that was sent to families. A few key points to emphasize:

• We are making this transition because we believe that it affords us the best opportunity to provide superior care in the future.
• The same doctors will see your children at the same location.
• We are committed to helping our current families stay with their existing pediatricians and specialists.
• We genuinely want to hear from you with any concerns and questions.
