I'm so sorry to discover this news. Dr. Turen was the finest orthopedic surgeon on the planet and I had a 30 year Marine Corps career because of his skill. My deepest belated sympathy to his family.

Thinking of you... It's been a year since you left us. Please know you are dearly missed! I often think of you dancing in the OR in Portsmouth..teaching, training and singing! I often wonder, 'what's become of the broken hearted?' Miss you greatly

I was saddened and shocked to hear of Dr. Turens passing. My family and I were struck by a drunk driver in 2006 causing me to almost lose my lower leg.

Truly a great loss. As a young sailor I was supposed to lose my leg. Twenty-five years ago Dr. Turen rebuilt my lower leg after being shot. I later had the pleasure of watching him work (instead of being a patient) as I supported systems he used in surgery. I am still walking on the leg he rebuilt. Rest in peace.

I am so deeply saddened by the news Of Dr.Cliff Turen's death. He and his family lived next door in West Hempstead,NY .when Cliff was just a child. I was his babysitter on occasion. My brother Don and Cliff were good friends and I have memories of his mom, Georgia, and dad, Sydney, as well as his grandparents who had a butcher's shop in Malverne, NY (Grandpa's Prime Meats) He was quite a bright child and I was not surprised when I learned years ago that he had become an orthopedic surgeon ....

My condolences. My prayers for Dr. Turen's family and friends. I had great respect for Dr. Turen. I appreciated his honesty, straight forwardness and respectfullness. He was incredibly talented. Dr. Turen put my husband's leg back together are a gunshot shattered his leg. My husband can walk because of Dr. Turen. I can never thank him enough.

It is with great sadness that we hear of Dr. Turen's passing. I know his Family and closest friends will miss him greatly and we pray for their comfort in their times of loss.
I can also assure them that like myself many of his past and present patients will never forgot what he has done for them.
Seven years ago I arrived at Baltimore's Shock Trama Unit, I was not even supposed to make the hospital. A few days later my wife remembers "A very Kind and Gentle man with a twinkle...
