Robert Biener, MD

 Dear Children and parents,

As many of you may already know that about 18 months ago I sustained a head injury that caused an intra-cranial bleed and a severe concussion. Cognitive and problem-solving abilities where affected. I received rehabilitation therapy and in the past few months I attempted to return to work a few times. After these experiences I concur with my doctor and therapist that I am not up to par with my pre-accident abilities.

The first tenet off medicine is “do no harm”. Therefore I decided that it’s time to retire from the practice of medicine. It is not with a light heart that I make this decision.

I thank you for the many years that you have entrusted the health of your children in my hands. It was an honor and a privilege to take care of your children. I hope I did my best. It was always a pleasure to interact with the children. I will miss them greatly.

I am leaving knowing that I entrust the care of your children in very competent hands. No two physicians are the same. It may take some time to get used to the style and personality of a different doctor. But I know that the doctors in the practice are knowledgeable and caring. I am convinced that the care from now on will be not less professional and attentive. My grandchildren and grand nieces continue to be patients of Drs. Praburam and Quraishi.

I thank you for the many years of trust that you bestowed on me. I wish you further good health and enjoyment from your children as you see them growing up.

Sincerely
Robert Biener

Message from our Doctors:

       For the past 20 years, our physicians have time and time again proven themselves to be steady and dependable healthcare providers. We pride ourselves in retaining patients quite literally from the day they are born to adulthood. So much so that many of our earliest patients return to us with children of their own! Over the years, we have witnessed the joys and pains of watching our patients grow with our care and your tutelage. Becoming a part of that process has been a joy and an integral part in providing comprehensive and efficient care. 
       We make an effort to provide the most appropriate and effective care at all times. Occasionally you might not like what we have to say because our doctors are direct and honest, however we guarantee that our intentions are entirely focused upon your child's well-being and quality of life. In the same sense, we believe in trust as well as faith. Many of our efforts encircle building trust between ourselves and our patients families so they understand where we are coming from. At the same time, faith is just as important to the way we work. Faith in our services and well as the belief that your child will overcome any illness when we work together. Through coming together and seeing eye to eye, our doctor-patient relationships have become second to none.

           Sincerely,
                Our Dedicated Staff
