I was very saddened when I heard of Dr. Paly's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. I needed back surgery four years ago, and Dr. Paly was my surgeon. He was a wonderful doctor and one of the kindest men I have ever met. I thank God every day for Dr. Paly. He will always hold a special place in my heart and I will be forever grateful. God Bless You, Dr. Paly!
