Kirti Nagpal, MD - Leaving

I am writing to inform you of a significant change in my professional journey. While I have truly loved working at Quality Kids Kare for the last 10 years, I have decided to leave my position as a primary care provider at Quality Kids Kare, and take a position as an urgent care provider in Worcester.

My last day at Quality Kids Kare, PC will be December 25, 2024. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the trust and support you have shown me throughout our time together. It has been a privilege to be a part of your child’s healthcare journey, and I deeply value the relationships we have built.

To ensure a smooth transition and continued care, I recommend that you schedule an appointment with one of my esteemed colleagues, Shay Darcey, NP, Kate Wolf, NP or Sarah Logan, NP who will be starting in September 10th. They are well-informed about your medical history and are committed to providing the high standard of care that you deserve.

If you need assistance with transferring your medical records or have any questions about your ongoing care, please do not hesitate to reach out.

For those who may need urgent care services in the future, I will be joining ReadyMeds Urgent care facility at 366 Shrewsbury St, Worcester starting January 1, 2025.

Thank you once again for allowing me to be a part of your healthcare team. I look forward to staying connected and wish you continued health and well-being.
