A heartfelt goodbye.

Patients who have been with us for many years will have almost certainly either seen or heard of David Styles. He has had a continued presence in many aspects of the clinic for over two decades, and has a been our most senior practitioner since March 1999, primarily working from our Truro location.
He has recently announced that he will be retiring on the 9th of December (some of you may recall that David did attempt to retire once, but his enjoyment of his work proved to be too much of a pull, and so the attempt didn't last long!). This news will surely come as bittersweet to those of us who have known David for as long as we have. Though it will be sad to see him go, he has fully deserved his retirement, and we hope that he attains some well-earned rest and relaxation.
Thank you for everything, David.

David has been a part of my life for many years. When my dad, Tim Pitman, unfortunately passed away suddenly when I was very young, David not only supported the clinic and our patients during what was a very difficult time, but he supported the practice manager and myself as well. And, when I finished university and came back to work in the clinic, David kindly spent many hours of his own time with me, observing my work with patients, ensuring that not only was I up to standard, but also to ensure the patients’ comfort. He has always been a supportive figure to me and he has taught me many things.
​
I’m sure this has been something that his many patients have felt themselves. His genuine, kind, knowledged approach to his work has been fed back to me many a time on the occasions where I’ve needed to provide treatment for one of his regulars. His personality and attention to his work will surely be missed by those he has been helping for so long.
​
Thank you David and I hope you enjoy your well-earned (second attempt) retirement.

Mathi Pitman

It has been an honour and a privilege working with David these past two years.  I certainly haven’t known you as long as the rest of the team, but in the time I have spent with David, he has been a guiding force during my first year of practice, with many of his tips and tricks giving me the confidence, the last push needed in my own ability as a chiropractor and I’m certain will help me the rest of my career. 

Although they will be happy and well cared for with Mat, I’m sure you’ll be missed by many of your patients, their families and friends that you’ve helped, talked too and advised over your past years as a chiropractor. To them and you I’d just say how great it is that you’ve had the chance too so positively help so many people and retiring with so many that will miss you, a feeling that many people don’t get to know.

David, thank you and enjoy your well deserved retirement, let’s see how long this second one lasts.
