HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Erica Miller, DVM with Apple Lane Animal Hospital had news about her colleague to share this week.
"Dr. Smith has announced his retirement," Miller said. "His last day is Sept. 2. It's definitely bittersweet. I love working with him, but, you know, he's ready to be able to spend time with his family. Three grown girls, he's off moving one from college to the first job. He wants to be able to spend more time with family. I know myself and staff and definitely our clients are going to miss him, but we wish him the best. He definitely deserves this."
There will be an event to commemorate Randy's service.
"We are going to have a come and go retirement event on Saturday, Sept. 2. Normal hours 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. that morning. We won't be seeing appointments. You can just come congratulate Dr. Smith and see him and kind of wish him well on his retirement."
Current patients can continue to receive care at Apple Lane.
"You won't see Dr. Smith any more in office," Miller said. "You will see me. Hopefully, we'll get another doctor in too, and so you may see them, as well."
Miller is actively looking for another veterinarian to join the practice.
