Dr. Bruce Steven Samuels

I still talk about Dr. Samuels. I talk about how frightened I was when I first went to see him because my hands were locked and painful. I had a thirty-minute appointment, but he spent well over an hour with me. He promised he could take care of it and would make me feel better in three days or less. Dr. Samuels was gentle, caring and kept his promise. He was brilliant, incredibly kind, and simply a gift to all of us.
Bless his family. Bless those who worked with him and helped him...

All of time may pass, and Dr. Samuels will forever be missed. He was an incredible physician that never overlooked the fact that you were not just a patient, but a person. I still think of him often. He is SO missed, by SO many. And he ALWAYS will be.

I was saddened to hear about Bruce's recent death. We were classmates (59) at Wilmington Friends in HS. We were teammates on football and basketball teams, where on the latter, Sammy' excelled at guard. We lost track for moreover than a decade.
Imagine my shock one morning when I was taking my nephrolgy boards when I heard behind me: Billy, how the heck are you?' Bruce was taking his rheumatology boards and to prevent cheating on the multiple choices, they put all of us in a hodgepodge. I ...

I knew Bruce many many years ago when we were growing up together in Wilmington. Sadly, we didn't stay in touch after high school; I remember Bruce as a thoughtful, serious boy who was destined it seemed to live a productive life. I'm sorry to hear of his passing at what seems now a relatively young age. My condolences to anyone from his family who happens to read this .

Dr. Sam you saved my life many years ago. I was in one of your drug studies for 5 years. You showed me compasion, hope (when I thought there was none), knowledge , as you did to all your patients you helped. You will forever be part of my soul for all you did for me. Linda and family may you find peace in the memories you shared and knowing what a truly great human being he was. Vicki Foster

Dr Samuels. Thank you for your dedication to the medical community and also for your service in the military.I hope your family finds peace soon. RIP

So sorry to hear this. He took such good care of my mom. They both shared such a quirky sense of humor together. He was a friend. Good thoughts to all. ❤

Although I stopped treating with Dr Samuels several years when he was the go to doc at Strafford Medical Associates, it seems like yesterday when our treatment sessions were also friendly get-together. His medical skills kept my arthritis in check with the usual remedies and meds; but what I'll never forget is the six-week acupuncture treatment program which he kind of performed under the table. He had learned this ancient art of treatment while stationed in China during his military days...
