Medical Office Thanks Those Who Helped Them Rebound from Fire

Editor’s note: the following is a letter to the editor submitted by Roswell Pediatric Center

It’s hard to believe that it’s been one year since our pediatric medical office on Crabapple Road was destroyed by fire.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank so many people affected by this tragedy.

Our deepest thanks are extended to the Milton and Alpharetta fire departments who responded quickly and worked together to douse the flames. It was a bitter cold night and they worked relentlessly to control the fire. Accordingly, our ground floor suite sustained significant smoke and water damage but we were able to salvage many items such as artwork, medical equipment, file cabinets containing years of information, etc. The firemen remained on the scene the following day and assisted us with removing computers containing patient health records and other sensitive documents.

Due to our sophisticated electronic health record system and our backup system, we were able to see patients the day of the fire with absolutely no loss of patient’s medical records and no disruption to delivering medical care. There are no words to adequately thank these men for their service to us on that day.

We would also like to thank the many pediatric offices, dental offices, pharmaceutical and medical supply representatives, our IT vendor and local merchants and organizations who sent cards, food, flowers, a helping hand and words of encouragement and support. We are extremely grateful to our many loyal patients who were inconvenienced by having to travel to our temporary location for the past year. We sincerely appreciate your support, patience and trust. We are so excited to share our new office space with you!

To show our appreciation to all of you, we are officially celebrating the reopening of our new office at 12385 Crabapple Road in Alpharetta on Saturday, March 21 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. We will have games for children, refreshments, entertainment and of course a tour of our beautiful new office.

Please plan on joining us for this celebration and again, heartfelt thanks to all who supported us during this past year.


With sincere thanks,

The physicians, nurse practitioners and staff at Roswell Pediatric Center
