Dr. Daniel J. Cammerman

Dear Cammerman Family, My son was one of Daniel's the complex medical patients. Dr. C (as we affectionately called him) was our pediatrician and the quarterback of a large medical team across the country. More importantly, for the first 5 years of my son's life he was my closest advisor/confidant/friend/therapist (during a particularly difficult and dark period). Simply put, when Dr. C was on this earth, I felt safer. I knew that we were not alone (in what often felt like a daily fight for...

Dear Sheila and dear Philip,
I am heartbroken about the passing of my little boy, Daniel. Your beautiful son.
I was his Nanny and an au-pair to him from September,1969 to September, 1970.
I was seventeen years old at the time. I loved my little friend. He was so sweet.
I miss you Daniel and often still thought of you and always wondered what became of you.
My deepest condolences to you both.

I've only just learned of Daniel's passing from our Oxford College's year book and i would like to offer my sincerest, if belated, condolences.

I was Daniel's room mate in our first year at Exeter College (staircase 6: room 2) and have many happy memories of him from that time - we both loved Gilbert & Sullivan (but i think he was less a fan of some of my other music!). He was funny, warm, intelligent and easy going.

I knew he was considering converting to medicine...

Dr. Cammerman was a wonderful part of our girls' lives for the past 12 years. Funny, relaxed, wise, and caring, he made each visit meaningful and really a pleasure. Even though our girls are headed into puberty, and it's often recommended to switch to a female doctor, we were sticking with Dr. Cammerman because we trusted him so perfectly and the girls loved him. We could not imagine a better doctor. He taught our girls to ask questions about the care of their own bodies, and he really...

My family and I have been heart broken over the loss of Dr. Cammerman. He was a kind and caring soul. My daughter, Anastasia, was one of his first patients when he started at Uptown Pediatrics. And then he had my two boys as well. He was an amazing pediatrician and a truly remarkable human. I really don't know what we are going to do without him. My children adored him. His patience was incredible. I could call him on the phone with whatever concern I had and he would talk me through it. ...

Dr. Cammerman as a young pediatric resident was assigned to my son's care, via Dr. Murphy's group. He was intuitive... so kind, and medically astute. As a single mother of a boy, I relied on his advice and wisdom. Always patient... wonderful. We take these people for granted in our lives... I cannot fathom the grief of his family. My deepest condolences.

I wanted to let you know what Dr. Cammerman meant to us. He was the best doctor to my two boys. He was with my older son Nick from the age of 4, and with Max since his birth. When I told Max what happened he cried and told me he loved Doctor Cammerman, and that Dr. Camerman was the only DR. he tells the truth to. That shows what trust and love his patients had in him. I am so grateful for the care and love he has shown to our family for the past 20 years. What a horrible tragic loss this is....

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your family will find strength during this difficult time.

I did not know Dr. Cammerman but learned of his passing from a friend, Al Copersino. After hearing from Al and reading the obituary, it is clear he was an amazing mind and a terrific heart. Deepest condolences to all his family and friends. The world lost a great man.
