Read MoreWe are so very sorry to hear of Dr. Essel's passing. He was so important in our lives. He hired me as a nurse, instilled the love of OB/GYN into me, delivered my last daughter, lived next door and was the wisest mentor ever. Sending love and strength to his family and friends. Heaven is much richer now.

Dr. Essel , words can’t express what you mean to me. You’ve been a great mentor and physician who never had a bad day. You always had a smile on your face, a story to tell and a book to share. I enjoyed working for and with you. I have memories that will last forever. Thank you for everything. Take your rest now with our lord and savior.
Love always ,
