Elmer R. Kadison

dr. Kadison was my pediatrician when we first moved to Lake Forest and I was in third grade. He also delivered my son 28 years later today. If I had seen this ability to post before I would´ve, I will never forget how comfortable I felt that as a third grader, looking at that man that lovely man, smiling face, and knowing that I would just be OK all the time because Dr. Kadison was my doctor and that my children would be OK because Dr Kadison was their doctor too

Mrs. Kadison, I just read in the AAP news of Dr Kadison's death. I was a resident of his at Children's and we met at a "mini fellowhip" in devel peds which I have subsequently spent my career in. He was a wonderful example of competence, caring, and curiosity in a physician, a great teacher for me, and it is heartwarming to read the tributes to him. What an inspiration! I wish you comfort in your loss

While I was visiting relatives in Sarasota, I noticed the announcement of the death of Dr. Kadison. When our family lived in Lake Forest in the early 60s, he was our sons' pediatrician both of whom have fond memories of him.
We all send our condolences to his loved ones.

Dear Kadison Family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Dr. Kadison was an amazing doctor to my son; we had the honor of meeting him just 6 months ago. He was a doctor unlike any other, he even called our home to check in on our son periodically. It was very obvious that he loved his work. We adored him and he will truly be missed.

To The Kadison Family:

My condolences on the passing of Dr. Kadison. My son was a patient of Dr. Kadison and I found him to be the most caring physician I had ever met during our search for answers on Asberger's. He will truly be missed. He was a wonderful person.

Greatest Doctor in the world. He was my 4 childrens doctor at Lake Forest for many years. He will be missed very much. I will keep him my prayers.

To Dr. Kadison's family~
My sincerest sympathy to your entire family. Though it has been so many years since Dr. Kadison was my doctor (I am now 37 with a newborn of my own), my brothers and I have the most amazing memories of "our" doctor. Our favorite was the hearing test in which we had to stand in the corner as he "whispered" numbers for us to repeat. I remember how scared and disappointed I was as a 17 year-old college student when Dr. Kadison told me it was time to move on to a...
