Dearest Patients,
Forty-years ago I could have never imagined experiencing the happiness and fulfillment that I have in caring for you and your families in the greater Cambridge community. Doing so has brought me a joy I did not know could be found in one simple profession.
At this time with Dr. Andrea Ansenberger, Dr. Kyle Parrilla as well as Dr. Kyle Lin at the helm of the office, I am able to (as of August 8, 2022) dedicate my professional services to caring for the New England Patriots. Contractually, I will be with the team for several years. With full confidence in our Cambridge Office staff, I can step away and pursue this athletic adventure.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me such a fulfilling and meaningful career in serving you the past decades.
With fondness,
Hari Khalsa -
