Dr Sasaki was my Dr. along with Dr Kirshner who he called his teacher. Between the two of them I was well taken care of. I think he was paying his respects to treat me over 64 years to Dr Kirshner taken me on as my throat was not a simple throat operation. In recent months I have I have been thinking to thank him for all his expertise dealing with a 15 year injury. Thank you Dr Sazaki. Mm

-Thank you Dr. Sasaki for your life, dedication, and service to the
medical community. We have lost a giant and a true compassionate
researcher. I know that he has comforted and helped so many, but
I must join in and applaud his attention to my own personal needs. After
surgery at Sloan Memorial I was "handed off" to Yale and Dr. Sasaki.
After two surgeries at Yale under the care of Dr, S., I continued to
have me check ups until 2018 when DOC said you no...

I will always remember Dr. Sasaki. very nice, soft spoken always deep in thought especially during surgical procedures where I worked as an OR nurse at Yale from 1986-2000. I will never forget his presence, a man of short stature but far larger in life. The intensity of his work with his patients was nothing but the best. What a wonderful man and life he led. My sincere condolences to your entire family. Sincerely Leslie Klarman

Dear Carolyn,
Clarence’s life was a testimonial to everything
that is wonderful about about being a physician. His contributions were monumental
and his footprints will be indelible in the sands of time. We will so miss our friend.
May his memory always be an abiding blessing.

Dr. Sasaki was a great and talented quiet man. He saved my life due to his surgical skills. I am still alive three years later thanks to him. I hope his family can find some condolence in the knowledge of this great man. May his spirit rest in peace. The world was a better place due to his presence.

Condolences to Carolyn and family. I enjoyed talking with you both at Davenport events.
