Humberto Dominguez Obituary
After completing college at the University of Puerto Rico, he traveled to Spain to attend medical school at the University of Zaragosa where he met many of his closest friends. After graduating from medical school, he joined the U.S. Navy, became a Lieutenant Commander, and settled in Orlando, Florida, where he began his own private practice as a family physician.
Over the years, Dr. Dominguez was a beloved doctor to many in the Central Florida area. He took care of his patients with deep love and compassion and was always there to help people who were suffering or in pain. He received many awards for his service and held several leadership roles in the hospitals where he practiced.
Dr. Dominguez is survived by his two daughters, Maylen Dominguez and Cristina Dominguez; sons-in-law Philip Arlen and Michael Grunwald; step-daughter Megan Copeland; and grandchildren Sofia Arlen, Max Dominguez Grunwald and Lina Dominguez Grunwald.
Dr. Dominguez loved boating and deep-sea fishing. He was always excited when he caught the next good-sized mahi mahi. He loved taking his boat to the Bahamas and traveling throughout the Caribbean. He also enjoyed playing dominos and hosting big Christmas Day gatherings. He was a dog lover, especially dachshunds.
He was a wonderful father and grandfather and a deeply spiritual and compassionate man. He was an incredible doctor who was devoted to his profession and whose kindness and caring for his patients were legendary. Dr. Dominguez saw the good in people and was always there to give advice, listen, and help anyone who needed it.

Dr. Dominguez was our family doctor for over 26 years. He was a kind and thoughtful doctor. When I was called to the war in the Gulf as a Florida Army National Guardsman. My family was without medical insurance. Dr. Dominguez told my wife to keep bringing the children for care. I was gone for a year on active duty and he took wonderful care of my family.
He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Dr Dominquez´s passing. He was a great Dr who always had time for his patients, either at the office or hospital. We had a lot of great talks over the thirty plus years that I visited him. Sending lots of prayers and thoughts to his family.

Condolences to Dr. Dominguez´s family. I had worked for Dr. Dominguez many years ago as well as being his patient, along with my husband, daughter and parents. He was a great doctor, always feeling safe in his care. He had a great sense of humor and was so very compassionate. He was a great family man and was always so proud of his daughters. We lost touch over the years but I always had fond memories of him. I´m sure he was a great grandfather too!

He was my doctor. He was funny and kinda blunt too. All Postal employees loved going to him . We called him Dr. D. He came to visit me in the hospital once and sat for about an hour just talking. I liked him alot. We had a running joke about him calling me fat even when I lost weight. When he retired I sent him a card and wrote, "now who's gonna call me fat?" Rest in Peace Dr. D. I still haven't found a decent doctor since you left. I will never forget your taking care of me for 20+ years. My condolences to your family. God bless.

I was a patient of Dr. Dominguez for many years until his untimely retirement. He was the most kind and compassionate doctor I had ever met. He ALWAYS remembered details about his patients, such as: their profession was and how many children they had. He cared deeply about his patients and their health and well-being. His office was always backed up because he treated each and every one of us like we mattered and took the time to listen. His patients did not have a problem with this, because we all knew why. We were his extended family, and he cared. I absolutely adored him. I am saddened to hear of his passing. I am so sorry for your family's loss. I know he will be greatly missed! God bless each of you, and I hope HE gives you strength during this very difficult time in your lives.

Best friends for 15 years. Humberto referred to us as brothers. We did anything and everything to pal around together.
He didn´t care that I was not a doctor-as he loved me for who I was.
He always spoke about his daughters and how proud he was of them.
I will always cherish the special times
I miss you buddy

Amazing man! He kindly let me complete two clinical rotations at his office, towards my APRN degree. I loved his manner, his caring and he was always eager to share! He will be sorely missed by all, especially his patients, who loved him so much.
