I just found out my doctor passed away. I am sorry Dr. Conlin left this life to early. My father was a doctor and Dr. Conlin reminded me so much of my father's demeanor when speaking with his patients. May you rest in peace Dr. Conlin...

Dr. Conlin was my primary care physician for over 20 years. He was the very best. He was compassionate, honest, thorough and dedicated to his profession. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and a great smile. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and medical staff. He certainly left us too soon. Rest in Peace Dr. C.
