Taking a break.....
As many of you have heard (or seen), I am expecting a little one in January 2011. My other half, Jean-Paul, and I are getting pretty excited for the new arrival and thinking a great deal about how our life will shift. As part of that preparation, I want to make sure that you are all aware of the change, my plans to return to work, and how I am putting things in place to ensure that you are very well taken care of in my absence. I have already felt so incredibly well supported by many of you, and truly appreciate being able to have time to care for my family and myself.
My plan is to begin maternity leave as of January 1, 2011 and to return to my ND practice by March 14, 2011. I will be having Dr. Elias Kass ND, LM cover my practice during the 8-10 weeks that I am home with my family. I am excited to have someone covering my practice that is dedicated to family practice, pediatrics, and is also incredibly experienced in the world of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and breastfeeding. He is passionate about natural family care and very resourceful, and just an incredibly likeable person.
Dr. Elias will be covering office visits during my usual days and hours at the birth center, utilizing my online schedule, maintain the pager and on-call coverage, and will be available to you and your family by phone for questions and concerns. The one change will be email availability during this short time period. Even for brief questions, please do call Dr. Elias. I will be back ‘online’ when I return in March.
