Letters From Our Practice
Dear Friends, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and honor in serving this wonderful Waterford community. I have genuinely enjoyed working with all my valued patients throughout my twenty plus years as a physical therapist. As these years went by so quickly, I have learned a great deal from you all. I am immensely proud of the unique physical therapy clinic that Eric and I have built from the ground up. We started off as a small clinic and have grown into a clinic in a landmark building that has become a part of the greater Waterford community. Also, I thank my parents for raising me with the tools and support in life to have built a great career. I have made many friendships that I cherish. From Christmas treats, Halloween costumes, patients stopping by to show their classic cars, new grandkids, marriages, and graduations and many more fond memories, I have felt like a true friend and family member. One of my patients even named their cat “Akant” after me! I cannot express the honor I feel to have been a part of your lives. Eric and I have enjoyedmany years not just as colleagues and business partners but as brothers in our common quest to have a professional and successful clinic. Our families have grown together along with yours. Many of you have come to knowmy wife Shelley and our son Raunak, whose support has allowed this clinic to grow. They both have shared many laughs on the floor with you all as patients as well with our amazing staff over the years. My wife is so humbled with the love and gratitude with you all and the incredible relationships we have made over the years. I have come to a point in my personal life whereas I, along with my family, have made the decision to leave the clinic. This decision was not easy and difficult. I have decided to pursue other avenues whereby I am able
to spend more quality time with my family. Functional Physical Therapy will continue to be a leader in physical therapy services as always to our valued community. I am comforted in knowing that Functional Physical Therapy will continue to excel in providing the best patient care with Eric at the helm along with our trusted and dedicated staff. I will continue to assist in providing consultation services as needed. Again, words cannot express how truly thankful I am to have been a part of your lives and healing. It has been a privilege to have been your trusted physical therapist over these years. I will never forget all the memories I have made. You will always be in my heart and prayers. God bless.
Your friend, Akant Doshi
To Akant: Thank you, my friend who became a brother! Thank you for all the years of support, blood, sweat, and tears. Our hard work and devotion culminated in a great result: a unique clinic (incorporating our modern facility, knowledgeable and caring staff, and progressive philosophy) with deep connections to our Waterford community and beyond. Never dismissing the importance of my family’s continual and intense support, without you, FPT could not have been the same. To signify your leaving FPT will no longer use the old logo but will fully adopt our newly designed logo. Changes can be for the better. Needs change. Life changes. Goodbye old friend— it will be different without you; you will be missed. Natasja and I wish you and your family health, wisdom, and fair sailing. Again, Thank you. — Eric
