Last week, we had the distinct privilege and honor of celebrating twelve years with our Janet AND wishing her well as she begins her next chapter of retirement. And today marks the exact anniversary of those twelve years. TWELVE YEARS! Twelve amazing, crazy, chaotic, fun and wonderful years with our Janet.
Janet is one of our OG crew with Dr Mike and started as Dr Chris’s assistant. She came to our office after spending 30 years assisting Dr Cater and a few years in between caring for her dear, not so little anymore, grandsons.
Janet has been the kind of employee, teammate and friend that comes along once in a lifetime. She brought experience, wisdom and a sense of calm to our office and has not once wavered from this. She was always the first to arrive to the office and always offered to be the last to leave. She ensured the day was set up for success and Dr Mike had everything he could have needed to take care of our patients. She held hands, listened to life stories, calmed anxieties and supported our patients as if they were the only people in the office. She anticipated every need for care, assisted Dr Mike in a way that only a lifetime of experience can provide, listened to and laughed at all of his hilarious stories a million times over, was the first to connect with him on all the latest sports happenings, had a quiet confidence that always grounded everyone around her and she did it all with such grace. She joined in on all of our hare-brained ideas of hilarious office activities, outings and shenanigans and has always had the best eye rolls. She was with our office and families through many transitions and growth and was amazing about keeping up with all of our changes. Janet was a role model for everyone around her and someone who we are incredibly thankful will always be a part of our family. She was the yin to our yang and we aren’t quite sure things will ever feel normal without her.
Thank you doesn’t seem like quite enough, but we aren’t sure the right words really exist. Thank you, Janet, for absolutely everything. We are beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from you all of these years. We love you more than you’ll ever know and are so excited for you to have this next phase of your life to do whatever the heck you want to do!
Congratulations and all of our best in your retirement!! Please come visit often!
