Dear Clients,

We would like to let you all know, on Dr. Sofronia’s behalf, that she is on a medical leave from Amherst Veterinary Hospital.

We are all thinking of Dr. Sofronia at this difficult time and we are sending her our positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Re: Best Wishes to Dr. Loretta Yuen

Change is inevitable. After over two decades we are sad to say good bye to Dr. Loretta Yuen who will be leaving our team in mid May. It’s been a wonderful time and we wish her all the best in the future!

To My Dear Clients,

I am writing this letter to let you know that my last day at Amherst will be Thursday, May 18th. I write this with a mixture of sadness and excitement. It is a time in my life that I embark on a new challenge and direction in my career but words do not express how much I will miss everyone at Amherst as this has been my extended family for 23 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you, your families and your pets throughout these years. Thank you for entrusting me with the care of your 4-legged family members.

I will never forget all the meaningful relationships I have made here.

I wish you all the best and hope our paths cross again in the future.

Sincerely,
Dr. Loretta Yuen
