  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 and Dr. Kyle Parrilla 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
