Not sure what to say?

I knew Daniel from our family medicine residency at MUSC from 1986-1989. We were in the same year and he was one of my favorite colleagues. I always appreciated his warmth, humility and sense of humor. He was a very beautiful human being with such a kind heart.

Dr. Wachspress took care of my daughter and me, and he was a thoughtful, careful, diligent and caring person. When I think of him, I think of him smiling and asking me questions that made me know he had listened the last time I was there. He is missed as a doctor and friend.

Doctor Wachspress was known as Dr. Dan in my house, too. He took care of three generations of my family and was greatly missed when he retired. He was a compassionate listener and a careful diagnostician. He took our concerns seriously and worked with us to resolve medical issues. I am so sorry to hear of his illness and passing. My deep condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Wachpress at Carillion of Fort Defiance. While being seen he always made an effort ask about my life and my children. He would also share about his wife and children. I knew him as a very educated, caring , down to earth individual. I am sorry for you loss.

Dan was a bright, intelligent, and engaged thinker who always stimulated me to delve deeper than the surface of a problem. I regret the untimely loss of a gifted physician and colleague.

He was the best doctor I ever had. He cared deeply about his patients, he got to know each and every one of us.We were more than just a number to him. My prayers are with his entire family!

What sad news... Dr Dan, as he was fondly referred to in our house, was our family doctor for several years until his retirement. He was always personable and had a great sense of humor, esp. when dealing with our sons as teenagers. He always asked me where every one was in the world and how were the sports going. We all thought the world of him. He was so incredibly intelligent, but kept things simple for the rest of us. He was definitely missed when he left Fort. Soar with the angels...

m so very sorry to hear of Dr. Wachpress passing. He was an awesome doctor and helped me through many difficult times. He truly did make a difference in my life!! Many prayers for his family!!
