Thinking of your David and remembering what a kind gentle man he was. truly, Linda and Mitch

I'm very sorry to learn of Dr. Savitz' passing last year. He was my PCP for 22 years. I very much enjoyed our visits, his personality and care to the point that I continued as a patient for 20 years after leaving the city.

May god bless his soul.
Our condolences to his family.
