Not sure what to say?

My friendship with Tony goes back to 1984-85, when Tony was at Georgetown Dental School. Tony was a housemate of mine in a big house with a total of 7 grad students living there on the corner of Lorcom Lane & Lee hwy in Arlington, VA. It was a typical Washington DC area group house with all of us from different parts of the U.S., in our early to mid-20s, attending different grad schools, and ambitiously moving along on our career plans. So I was sitting at the table this rainy AM in...

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. E during my middle school years, and he was truly one of the greatest individuals I've ever encountered. He not only helped transform my smile but also assisted me in gaining confidence. His laughter and genuine interest in everyone's well-being, along with his generous gifts to patients during Christmas, will always stay with me. Although he is dearly missed, his legacy lives on through his amazing practice and family, who continue to uphold his values.

Tony, You are loved today and my thoughts and prayers are with your wife and family. God bless you and your family. It still gives me tears to see you're not with us here. You accomplished so much in life, God had other plans for you with him. See you then. Mark

I was just thinking about you yesterday, July 4th, Tony!!! And this reminder was in my mail this morning! I was remembering how much you loved life and how being outside in the Colorado sun yesterday, I recalled how much you loved to visit Greece. Tan and handsome. I also felt so sad, although we were not close friends, we made a connection and I feel the loss...you were blessed with many gifts and it pains me to know such an amazing person is not with us. God Bless Tony. See you someday...

Tony and I sat together in lab throughout dental school and had many poignant conversations on subjects ranging from food to music to religion and politics. His enthusiasm and kind passion evidenced in our many talks still linger in my memory. I remember his vivid descriptions of holiday family feasts and family get-togethers. The stories were colorful enough to make us wish we might be invited! I knew he loved his family, his Greek heritage and his many friends. Our many hours in the...

I found out about Tony this morning in the AAO practice management bulletin. I am so sorry for your loss.... I became a friend immediately with Tony at Roth Williams years ago. His love of life was a beacon to all who new him. God I'm shocked and saddened. My heart goes out to his family. What a loss....God bless Tony and family.

I was only a patient of his but Dr. Ellenikiotis was a great person and orthodontist. He saw me through two sets of braces when I was young and every appointment I had at his practice (which was many) he would personally check up on me and my teeth at the end. He was always so nice and making jokes with me to cheer me up. I always get compliments on my smile now, thanks to him. I have always and will always remember him fondly and he will be missed greatly. My heart goes out to his family.

Miss you dearly Dr E, such a wonderful man,father,friend,teacher,boss,soul may you live for eternity in heaven,

I knew Dr. E professionally, we shared a few patients. He was a fantastic orthodontist with an amazing eye for detail. He'll be missed.
