To the Patients of Dr. Mary Callahan

Dear patients,

I am writing to notify you that I have turned in my resignation at Preferred Pediatrics.

It has been such a delight to care for your families over the last few years, and some for much longer than that.  It has been my privilege to work with each of you as a parent-doctor team. I truly appreciate the relationships we have built and know the lessons in healthy living we developed together will persist as your children grow and develop. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Callahan

** With the upcoming departure of Dr. Callahan, please let our staff know which provider you would like to transition your care to as of January 2020 **
