Dear Patients:

I want to let each of you know that I am retiring from Dermatology and closing my practice effective December 20,2024. I have enjoyed caring for each of you and your families. It has been an honor and a privilege.

As of December 21, 2024, Dr. Natalie Wright, MD and Dr. Tim Allen, MD will be taking over my practice. They will have access to your records, and you can make an appointment by calling them directly at 214-615-1888 or Plano Dermatology’s main number 972-608-0330. Dr. Stalkup’s group is also accepting new patients at Plano Dermatology.

If you choose to seek medical care elsewhere you can have your confidential records sent to another doctor, to yourself, or to another person you designate by filling out the necessary medical release form. Please call the office and they will provide the necessary form. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD.org) can provide you with names of board-certified dermatologists closer to your home if you desire.

Many of you have been my patients for over 30 years. We have shared many life events together. I have valued our relationships and always looked forward to visiting with each of you. Thank you for your loyalty and friendship over the years. I wish you all long healthy and happy lives.

Sincerely,

Karen A. Lund, MD
