Chin, OD To all my loyal patients, I have reach the threshold of retirement after 47yrs of private practice. It was certainly enjoyable to have such loving patients, and catch up to your life events of the past year. The term “family practice” really felt like you were family to me! It certainly feels great to know that perhaps, our office had made a difference in our community. The next steps will be scary, but probably fun. Will be doing a lot of traveling and living outside the bay area 50% of the time. Initially, it will be weird not to show up at the office, but I’m sure I can adjust.
