Not sure what to say?

Very dedicated to helping people. He really cared about his patients.

Dear Dr. Meyer oh how I miss you! Just isnt the same! Thank you for the excellent care from you and your dad. I had been a patient since 1970.

I just received a letter about Dr. Myers passing this week. It broke my heart. He was my doctor for nearly 20 years. He was always very kind to me, and I will really miss him. Love and prayers to his family.

He delivered my daughter and offered encouraging words about my health and our retiring around the same time. I will sorely miss him. My deepest sympathy for his family.

I was saddened by the news I received, when making an appointment. Dr. Meyer was my doctor for 11 years. He was professional and had a great bedside manner. He will be truly missed.

My sympathies to all his family and friends.

I'm saddened to hear about the passing of a wonderful human being, Dr. Juliane Meyer. I started with Dr. Meyer about 12 years ago. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage ( I was living in PA at the time), but Dr. Meyer encouraged me to stay strong and keep the faith. I remember the day he called me after I had blood tests completed to inform me that I was pregnant; he seemed just as excited. He recommended a wonderful doctor within the practice to care for me through my pregnancy, Dr. Lynne...

We will all miss Dr. Meyer. He was my doctor, my sister's doctor and my sister-in-law's doctor. He and Sandy always made my appointments easy even when the news was not so good. I will forever miss his kind bedside manner and his jokes. Not only was he my doctor for many years, I felt like he was my friend and advisor. There will never be another doctor like Dr. Meyer! My heartfelt sympathy to all his family and Sandy.

Dr. Meyer was my doctor for 30+ years. My heart truly aches at hearing of his passing. He was not only a very special doctor, he was a very special person, a very special man, a gentleman in every sense of the word. The earthly world has truly lost one of the greatest, most compassionate human beings ever, while Heaven has gained an Angel. Words can't express my sorrow. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers, to the family and the medical community. What a great man, what a great legacy.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
