David L. Bogdonoff M.D.

Saddened to hear so long after. My apologies. David and I were anesthesia residents together. I learned much from him and loved his superior intellect and wry sense of humor. When I think of U Va he is always in my vision of the place. I will try to honor him with a donation to his favorite charities. The Birch family offer sincere albeit belated condolences.

I remember Dr. Bogdanoff from the early 90's, I was in nursing school and was doing a practicum in the PACU. A patient went into respiratory arrest × 3. Dr. Bogdonoff ordered me not to release that patient to a floor bed, he wanted that patient to be taken to the ICU. The surgeon wanted the patient released to a floor bed and insisted he was the one who picked where the patient should go after surgery. Well, Dr. Bogdonoff came to me and told me that the surgeon was correct and could choose...

I loved working with David. He had a great sense of humor and was an outstanding anesthesiologist. I am so sad that he is no longer in this world. My thoughts are with his family.

My prayers are with David and his family. We were residents together. He was a wonderful person. He is in a better place.

I join many other anesthesiologists and physicians in expressing my gratitude to David as a friend, mentor, and colleague. He was one of the finest clinicians I know, and his contribution to resident teaching for 30 years at UVA was incalculable. David was a wonderful friend to many of us, a very hard worker, and a physicians´ physician. His passing into the Greater Life will leave a void that many will feel for a long time. May the common Creator of us all bless you in your rest, David. ...

I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts are with you. Brenda Geistwhite Estep
