He also enjoys golfing, camping, and being outdoors.
CONGRATULATIONS DR. DAVID PFALZER!!!!
Dear Patients,
After 41 years of practicing medicine, it is now time for me to step away. Friday, June 27th will be my last day at Kenmore Family Medicine. I have taken my obligation to provide the best service possible very seriously. It is now time for me to relax and do the things that retirees do – travel, spend time with the grandchildren, golf and complain about the Bills and the Sabres. It truly has been an honor to be your physician for all these years. I will miss everyone! You will not have to worry about finding a new physician. Dr. John Leistner is moving back to his native Buffalo from Binghamton to join Kenmore Family Medicine. He is an experienced, board certified family physician educated at Niagara University and St George’s Medical School. I am confident that you be in good hands.
I wish you all the best!
David F. Pfalzer, MD
