Dear doctor Maller,
I am so sad about you leaving your practice yet Im so happy for you because I knew you were unhappy about the new arragenment. I didnt even have kids (or wanted any at the time) but when I first met you, I knew if and when I had a child YOU would be their doctor. A couple years later you have become part of our family. You are a big part of the team that made it possible for our little Jay to be alive today. We are forever grateful for your kind, helpful advice and guidence. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Earlier this year when we decided to move to Jersey we didnt even consider replacing you because we figured we’d fly back to L.A every couple months and see you. I know you will be fine wherever your new venture takes you because you are and AMAZING doctor and we all know you have our kids best interest at heart. Like I always say, do what makes YOU happy because in the end thats all that matters. Please continue your blog and keep in touch. We love you and wish you and your family the best of luck.
If you ever find yourselves in Jersey; you Cynthia and Gucci are always welcome.

Hi Dr. Maller!

I was so worried when your office told me today that you won’t be in the office for several weeks. I had to ask your secretary if everything was alright. Eventually, she said that you will be retiring already. That is such sad news.

You have been a wonderful pediatrician to both of my kids. You have been their one and only since we migrated here from the Philippines. We’ve had 7 wonderful years with you. Paul and Matthew enjoy seeing you each time we come to your office. As soon as Paul feels sick or has a cut, he always tells me, “We need to go to Dr. Maller! He will fix me!” You are such a good doctor. You have left Paul with such a wonderful impression that he trusts you wholeheartedly. We wish you all the happiness in your retirement years. Take care and may God bless you, your family and all your plans.

Hi Dr. Maller,

I had been expecting this since last year when you merged the practice with Dr. Desilva. I just wanted to thank you for all the care and support you have provided my five children over the past 10 years. I was saddened when I seen you yesterday and you informed me that it was your last day. We are so sad to see you go. I would like to wish you, Cynthia and Gucci the very best in you new adventures. You will be greatly missed by the Calderon family.

Love,
Xochitl, Miguel, Christopher, Serina, Alexander, Cassandra and Angelica Calderon

Hello Dr. Maller… I knew, when I saw the envelope in the mail, I knew the day had come. I had been suspecting it since you merged the practice, but was not wanting it to happen. Although I trust you’ve left us in good hands, we will miss you. You’ve steered us through vaccination questions, fevers, chest colds, multiple broken bones and… who’d have guessed… delayed-reaction bee sting allergies! Thank you for your kind care over the past 15 years. We wish you, Cynthia and your family, all the best. Love, Mike, Cindy, Joelle & Mikey Cabral

Your letter came today and I can only say that I am truely heartbroken. I cannot imagine taking my children to anyone else besides you. Many friends have asked me why I drive to Van Nuys from Stevenson Ranch to take my kids to their pediatrician and all I say is “I love Dr. Maller. I will never change pediatricians unless I have no choice.” Your name was always the first one that Colin would look for whenever there was a change in our insurance coverage. Nicholas, Stephanie & Trevor seeing you mattered more than anything for Colin & I.

Well, I guess that the day that I never imagined has come. I want to thank you for always being there with your advice and support and thank you for becoming my friend. I will send Christmas cards & if you want I am on Facebook & I am usually pretty good about keeping pictures of the kids current. Good luck to you and Cynthia, please tell her hello for me, and I hope to hear from you both about your new adventures and about your beautiful grandchildren. WE LOVE YOU! The Probert Family

Receiving your letter stating that “you’re moving on” brought sadness to my life and realized that one of my greatest fear happened. You will not be my boys pediatrician. You’re the only pediatrician that I and my boys ever known. It seems like yesterday when I first brought my son and you gave his first shot and then another. Then, my second precious boy came along and as you did with the first one you gave him his first shot and then the rest follows. I have seen you worked and gone through assistants and all were exceptionally wonderful and hard working. You had referred my kids to wonderful doctors in which up ’till now I still go to them because in my opinion if you referred they must be LA best. You have always given your personal touch at every visit we made and always assure me that everything will be ok with my kids.
Unfortunately, the health care system we have is not the greatest but we have to live with it. I never imagine that during our open enrollment at work that I will be researching and contemplating which insurance will be best suited for my kids needs. Even though, it cost me $$$ to get it I listened to your advise because with my boys needs I think that’s the only way I can go. It may not be the greatest but it’s better than the rest.
As you said, you are leaving us with doctors you have faith in but it will take a while and many visit (I hope not) to prove to me that they are good of a doctor as you. Good Luck with your next chapter. Again, million thanks it’s been a great 10 years.

I just received your letter saying that you are moving on. I cannot imagine not seeing you concerning my children. I am so sad and although the lady that I saw in your office seemed ridiculously nice and looked very intelligent I want your worldly advice. Funny enough I almost called you today in a panic because my 85 yr old grandpa fell over and had the biggest goose egg hematoma on his forehead. After sitting at northridge ER for 6.5 hours and a cat scan later found everything was fine but during my panicked search for advice you were my #1 thought. i was worried to disturb you and I called his sassy rude doctor but whatever. I regret when you asked me about what I thought of the heath care reform I basically scoffed cause I have no idea about it as we discussed but you were asking my opinion as you always have about whatever topic. I wish I had just asked you what you thought and not gone on about what I don’t know. You are so wise ad intelligent and such an amazing doctor. You have gone above and beyond for my family during the most terrible times. I truly see you as “our doctor” who could never be replaced. I think you should be the mobile house call doctor. They still do that in Italy. Doctor comes to your house with a cute little black doctor bag. I bet that would take off!! Who wants to even take sick kids out of the house anyway? I promise to send pictures and info to you. I am on facebook but please beware you will meet the insane side of me through my page but also see lots of kids pics. WE LOVE YOU DR. MALLER!!!!!
