Each year, Doctors' Day offers us a meaningful opportunity to pause and recognize the individuals who have devoted their lives to healing others. This special occasion celebrates the expertise, compassion, and tireless dedication of physicians who deliver exceptional care to patients and communities around the world.
This year, we were deeply moved by the generosity of our donor community, who came together to raise $46,000 in honor of our physicians. Your outpouring of support speaks volumes about the profound impact our doctors have on the lives they touch every single day. We are also grateful to the hundreds of patients who took time to pen heartfelt messages of appreciation to their physicians. From the first breath of a newborn in our pediatric units to the life-saving interventions in our emergency departments, our physicians show up for patients at every stage of life's journey.
The following messages represent just a small sampling of the tributes we received this Doctors' Day. To our donors, our patients, and most of all, to our remarkable physicians: thank you.
Thanks to Dr. Brian Kopell and his amazing, talented and friendly staff, I had a successful DBS operation two years ago, and am now living my best life ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

In 2014 I was rushed to the ER with a serve asthma attack where I lost consciousness. Thank you to all the Doctors and staff who saved my life that day. Everyone was so attentive and caring, because of people like you I got another chance in life."

Dr. Lonner performing my scoliosis correction surgery was a true lifesaver. Such a kind person, Dr. Lonner is accessible and encouraging. I feel strong and stable on my own two feet now as I never have before in my life."

This is my first pregnancy. I couldn't ask for better care. Dr. Adler is wonderful. My husband (big tennis guy) calls him the ‘Roger Federer of OBGYNs.’ Thank you, Dr. Adler and team!”

Dr. Lebwohl, you are our hero. Because of your care, our son went from struggling with severe psoriasis to being clear, comfortable, and confident. The difference in his life is extraordinary.”

I thank the stars above that when I broke my ankle in October Dr. Stephen Johnstone was on call and performed my ankle-fixing surgery. He and his team made what could have been frightening easy to go through. I had 1,000% confidence in all of them!”

Dr. Wolin is an exceptional physician. He is not only an expert in Neuroendocrine Cancer, but he is caring and compassionate. Knowing that I am under his care eases my anxiety and helps me fight this disease. Thank you, Dr. Wolin.”
