Our medical practice continues to bare the name of Dr Walter A Rentrop (1925-2008) in honor of his life time of dedication to and caring for his patients. Dr Rentrop retired Jan 1, 2007 after more than 50 years of providing medical care to the families of South Memphis as well as being a part of this community. It is our goal as individuals, and as a medical practice, to bring honor to his memory by living his example daily, with each and every life we touch.
