A Message from Dr. T***s:
Today marks an exciting yet sad day. Today is Tori’s last day in the office. We have both known since roughly March that this day was coming, as her and her husband Nic got the exciting news earlier this year that he was accepted to Physician’s Assistant school in New Hampshire, and he starts in early 2024. So, as you can easily imagine, that’s not the easiest commute back to Lone Tree.
As everyone who has ever come in here knows, Tori has been nothing short of amazing. In my position, one of the most important things in this office, besides the actual patient care that I give, is that you are welcomed and treated as family when you come in. In her time here, I have been blessed with hearing her conversations with patients due to the relationships she has built with you and you have built back with her. With that, I know she has cherished those times of talking with each and everyone one of you who did over the years.
It is truly hard to believe that Tori’s first day was 5 years, 3 months, and 1 day ago back on Monday, August 20, 2018. To put that into perspective, she has been a part of this office for 45% of it's entire existence. But more personally, that’s how long she has become family to me, and for 100% of the rest of my life she will remain that way. She has seen my kids grow these last few years, got to help them learn a few things at the desk with her during all of the "Take Your Kid to Work Days", and, in a way, I got to watch her grow from the 23 year old that first walked through the door to interview. Those are memories I will cherish forever.
Tori, enjoy this journey that you and Nic are about to embark on. Know that myself and everyone who has come along, especially these last few weeks that have stopped to say goodbye, wishes you nothing but the best, and we love you!
