This past weekend, we were made aware of a social media comment from one of our physicians. The individual is no longer employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics.
As we previously mentioned in our original statement, we strongly condemn the comments that were made in that post.

Sincerely,
Blue Fish Pediatrics Leadership Team
