An Open Letter to All Dr. Liu's Patients:

This letter is to inform you that I will retire at the end of year 2021. It has been a great privilege of mine to have your confidence and to be able to take care of you for all these years. For any medical care to be effective, it takes a team effort, and you have been a great teammate. 

You have taught me more than you probably realized: the way you handle adversity, your insights into issues, your resilience and resourcefulness. So, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge to you my debt and thank you. You have made me a better physician than I could ever be by myself.

[omitted section]

Please take care, and carry on. With many fond thoughts and wishing you the best.

Namaste,

Linda Liu, MD
