To the Rabinovitch Family,
Dr. Rabinovitch was the most wonderful Dr. our family ever had. It was very sad to hear about your loss and when I told my mother - his patient for over 50 years about his passing she cried and told me a story. Her sister was visiting from Israel and went to see Dr. Rabinovitch who diagnosed her with diabetes. She went home and lived a full life with treatment. Years later, Dr. Rabinovitch told my mother that he was going to Israel and would she like him to check on her sister. He did. Her son picked him up at his hotel and then brought him back. Our Israeli mishpocha couldn't believe it. My mother joins me in sending our sincerest condolences.
