Letter to Patients from Dr. Ron Nagel

Dear Families,

As I reflect on nearly 40 years of practicing pediatrics, I write to you today with a mix of emotions. After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire. It has truly been an honor to care for your children, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me over the years. Watching your children grow has been one of the greatest joys of my career.

I will officially retire on October 1, 2025. Until then, I remain fully available to you and your families and will do everything I can to ensure a smooth transition of care to the other physicians at La Peer Pediatrics. Many of you are already familiar with Drs. Diamond, Crosby, and Shurin, as well as the wonderful Dr. Judy Oranika, who has been part of our team for the past three years and will continue to provide excellent care.

We are also excited to welcome two outstanding new pediatricians to our team: Dr. Daniel Maghen will be joining us on July 28th, and Dr. Niki Elyasi on September 1st. Dr. Elyasi, a Los Angeles native, is completing her residency at CHLA. Dr. Maghen, a former patient of mine, brings several years of experience from Cedars-Sinai Medical Group. It’s been a pleasure to watch him grow into the exceptional physician he is today.

For more information about Drs. Maghen and Elyasi, please visit our website.

Our electronic health record system ensures all of your child’s medical history and care details are readily available to the entire team, so you can feel confident that your child’s care will continue seamlessly. My colleagues and I are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.

In retirement, I look forward to spending more time with my family, especially my wife Cheryl, our grandchildren, and my 90-year-old mother. I also plan to continue supporting the next generation of pediatricians by mentoring residents at The Guerin Children’s Hospital at Cedars-Sinai.

Warmly,

Ron Nagel, MD

 

 

 

A Letter to Patients from Dr. Judith Weiner

To Our Patients:

I am writing this letter with mixed emotions.  As I mark my 39th year practicing Pediatrics, I have made the difficult decision that it is time for me to retire.  I deeply appreciate the trust that you have placed in me, and it has been an honor to be part of your families, taking care of the children I have grown so fond of.

I am retiring as of March 1, 2025. Between now and March 1st, I will be fully available to my families and will work to help you make a smooth transition to the care of my partners at La Peer Pediatrics.  Our electronic health record system will ensure that the physicians in our office will have comprehensive information about your child’s health history and the care they received from me.  Our staff and I are committed to making this transition as easy as possible for you.

As a Pediatrician, I have always tried to help children lead their lives in the healthiest way possible, guiding parents to care for them in ways that felt right for their families.  Mainly, it has been about relationships for me.  I hope that I have provided that for you.  I know you have given that to me.  Thank you for your trust in me all these years.  It means everything.  Wishing all of us the best of health and happiness in our respective journeys.

Warmly,
Judith Weiner MD
