Allen Arieff

I miss him a lot. He helped me grow up into a good person, and I think he'd agree I helped him do the same. But now I have no one to talk to about opera and especially his beloved Wagner.

I was a patient of Dr. Arieff for about 15 years. We became very good friends. He and his wife attended my wedding in 2004. That same year I received a kidney with his help. We both had a love for Opera. He would go on on and on about the Ring cycle . In fact we met at the opera in SF and in LA a few times. We laughed often. I will really miss him. We may have lost contact as he stepped away from medicine but I am a better person for knowing him in so many ways. He was one of the smartest...

I worked for Allen in his nephrology research lab at the SFVA in the late 70's. I had been working for him for less than a month when he told me I should go to medical school. I owe my career to his faith in me and his mentorship. I also owe him my addiction to really good strong coffee. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. To his family, please accept my sincerest condolences.

Allan was my friend and mentor during the most crucial years of my career. I owe him much. Great clinician and mentor. Rest in peace my friend

Allen was an incredible man who changed the world. He inspired me so much. I hope your resting in peace and I´m missing you so much.

One rare man. Great clinician and scientist. My mentor and friend for 4 decades. He will remain the gentle, sophisticated and highly respected and admired man by all who knew him and worked with him. Rest in peace dear Allen. You will remain in my heart and mind. Your student and friend Haseeb

Incredible human.
