Not sure what to say?

Dr. Margolis was one of my most favorite people...he became my Dr. When my family moved to PA, following significant brain surgery. Throughout my adolescence, he worked with my oncologist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and saw me through another surgery. We crossed paths often since leaving his practice and he always remembered my name and was ready with a big hug. I just loved him and appreciate what a wonderful Dr. And person he was!

Dr. Margolis was not only a very special pediatrician who exuded love and care for the babies and children he took care of, but he was a most compassionate man for the parents of the children who went through health crises or other traumas. Dr. Margolis will always be remembered by the children he treated and mended, both physically and emotionally! My condolences to his family.

Dr. Margolis was truly a great man. He was my and my brothers' doctor and our family thought the world of him. I think he was the only one who could calm my Dad when one of us was sick. When my father passed away 10 years ago, Dr. Margolis remembered my Dad and attended visitation even though we kids are grown and it had been about 20 years since we had seen him. I was surprised and honored that he took the time for us after all those years. I will never forget his gentleness and compassion,...

My sympathies to the family. I will never forget when my son was near death, he came to the hospital and sat with my family until his crisis passed. I will never forget that night 27 years ago.

Dr. Margolis, the epitome of gentleness, caring and loving when caring for his little patients or hysterical parents! Oh, how blessed we were to have him in our lives! His love for his bride Rae and his children, his grandchildren, his in-law children, the foreign exchange students was wonderful to witness. It is no surprise that even in retirement, he was helping others...reading to the blind, delivering meals on wheels! Sending sincerest sympathies to the entire Margolis family. May...

Dr. Margolis was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful man. He took care of my sons at his practice 39 years ago. Talk about kindness and patience! My sincere condolences to the Margolis family.

Dr. Margolis was my doctor and I wouldn't have thought of taking my son to anyone else. I am 55 and my son just turned 28 on February 7th. I ran into him at CVS a few years ago and without even a second thought he knew exactly who I was and immediately asked how my son was by name. He asked about my parents, my siblings and my nephews. It was amazing to me that all the baby's and children that he took care of he remembered all of our names. Im glad I got to see him one last time. Rest In...

I remember Dr Margolis from my days as a medical resident. He was always kind and helpful, and an excellent physician too. He will be missed.
