We hope all who observed Yom Kippur had a meaningful fast. Happy New Year.

Dr. Laiderman is hitting the road for a 50 mile bike ride with his family members, Father, Steve Laiderman, brother-n-law, Alex Blackmon and brother, David Laiderman, to support Pedal The Cause.

He’ll be riding to help kick cancer while raising awareness and supporting the fight against this disease that has touched so many of our lives.

Please support our efforts to honor the memory of my dear friends, Jessica Johnson, Bobby Orf and Tim Dryden, my father-n-law, Don Callahan, my Aunt Bonnie Laiderman, all my Laiderman family members and all the patients of OPC and their family members who battled the fight against cancer. Please also join us to support those who are currently fighting the battle, my sister-n-law Missy Laiderman, father, Steve Laiderman and again any of our patients and friends and family members that are killing this disease on a daily basis. We love you all. Keep Fighting!

- Dr Brian Laiderman
