I worked with Dr.Sisskind at St. Vincent´s hospital in the 80s and 90s. He was a smart, patient man who took the time to teach and I learned a lot from him. Rest in peace Dr. Sisskind. My condolences to his family. " to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" 2Corinthians.

Dr. Sisskind was a wonderful doctor I was sad when he said he was retiring.

My sincere condolences, Dr. Sisskind delivered me 59 years ago and also my son, when I was 35. I thank him every day for my life. Because of my family history of breast cancer he started me on mammograms in my 30's. It saved my life I got breast cancer in my early forties and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. I am forever grateful for all of his expertise and advice. Rest in peace

With deepest sympathy to Dr. Susskind´s wife and all his family..he delivered my first child over 50 years ago..a difficult birth..as was stated he was kind, helpful and understanding..rest in eternal peace and thank you Doctor!

Dr Sisskind was a wonderful doctor and human being. As my doctor he was kind understanding and just great. Delivered my grandchild also. May he rest in peace

I will never forget the beautiful experience that I had when my son was born in 1980. He was so wonderful. Truly a gift to many. Prayers for his family and friends, I´m so sorry for your loss.
