Memories and Condolences
for Allan Oseroff
November 13, 2008
My teenage daughter was a patient of Dr. Oseroff for the past several years. The last treatment she had with him was this past June. I could see how weak he was, yet I know that he went out of his way to work on her case out of love and concern for her. I can recall him personally running to her room several years ago to get a teddy bear to comfort her. He was a caring doctor and truly interested in his patients, the "science" behind the treatment and in improving it for his patients. My condolences to the family. He will be truly missed.

Allan recruited me to Roswell Park when I was fresh out of my Mohs fellowship. He was unfailingly energetic and enthusiastic and I learned enormously from him. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with his family.

Allan was an outstanding mentor, a gentle academic and an inspiring person. While a medical student in Boston, his support and guidance at Harvard's Welllman Labs enabled me to persue a career in photobiology and dermatology. He will be missed.

Allan was a friend and a true pioneer in the clinical development of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of cancer. HIs often offbeat but complete approach to scientific questions, his dry wit, approachability and his kindness always served to inspire others.
He will be missed.
