| ASSOCIATED
PEDIATRICS WELCOMES DR. BRAD FULLER |
 Associated
Pediatrics is pleased to announce that Dr. Brad
Fuller is joining our practice starting July
1, 2012. Many of you may have already met him as
he has been a resident doctor here for the last
two years. Dr. Fuller will complete his pediatric
residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital this
June 2012.
We are fortunate to add Dr. Fuller as he always
excelled throughout his training with his knowledge
in pediatrics and clinical acumen. Dr. Fuller's
wife, Jennifer, is a NICU nurse at Nationwide
Children's Hospital and they have a beautiful
two-year old daughter Olivia. We are confident
that the addition of Dr. Fuller at Associated
Pediatrics will be invaluable. Please help us
welcome Dr. Brad Fuller to our group on your next
visit with us.
 While
we are pleased to welcome Dr. Fuller, we are also
coming to an end of an era with the retirement
of Dr. W. David Dawdy.
Dr. Dawdy's commitment to his patients and families
has been outstanding. He has been a highly skilled
physician and warm & caring person that all
of us at Associated Pediatrics have grown to love.
Dr. Dawdy is retiring to enjoy well-deserved time
with his beloved grandchildren and family. August
31, 2012 will be his last day of practice in our
office. His nurse, Dodi, and our staff members
are committed to assisting you and your families
with this transition. Dr. Dawdy will be greatly
missed, but the devotion and patient-centered
care he has been known for will forever be continued
at Associated Pediatrics.
