Hilton Israelson

I met Hilton in his first year (as well as mine) of Baylor(1978) . I remember my first encounter with him . Unbelievable instructor and colleauge! Quality care and I was blessed to know him. I wish I was informed of his illness. We could have shared cancer war stories. I could have thanked you for your instruction and guidence. My patienets loved him ! Huge loss!! Andy Erwin (1981 graduate)

Dr. Israelson will never be forgotten. I miss him. He was my Periodontist for 34 years.

I was second year student in periodontology from Iran.i was not welcomed by by some.he supported me and admired me for my work and give me confidence.He took me one Friday night to his home in Boston and offered me bread and wine which is jewish tradition.god bless his soul

I just learned of Hilton s passing. Hilton performed oral surgery on me when he was a student at Tuffs in Boston. It must have been around 1973 or so. We were both around 25-27 years old. I am 75 now. A few years ago I was working in Texas. I decided to schedule a visit. I had the opportunity to thank him for helping me after all those years. Our visit was emotional. I've been a periodontal patience for almost 50 years. Very sorry to hear of his passing. Sincerely, Ken Colburn

My wife Judy & I were long time patients of Dr. Israelson as was my daughter Kathi. He was not only a wonderful doctor he was a kind and wonderful person. Our prayers go out to his family.

Dr Israelson was my doc since 1986. When we moved to California I would come back to have him treat me. When we lived in Houston I would travel back for him to treat me. He was my go to doc all these years. I will miss him terribly.

I was a regular patient of Dr. Israelson for approximately 38 years. I had the upmost respect for his knowledge of dentistry and the quality of his work. I encountered some difficult dental issues that baffled most dentists, but his expertise guided me through restoring my jawbone, gums and teeth after dealing with a large tumor in my jaw. He was always the first dental professional I consulted when I had subsequent dental issues and he successfully led me to a normal healthy jaw that...

In the late seventies I was an instructor in the dental hygiene program at the Baylor dental school. It was there that I met Dr. Israelson who was an instructor in the periodontics program. Hilton was just starting his private practice and asked me if I would be interested in working for him as well. He was the most amazing dentist I ever worked for. He was kind, caring, had a great sense of humor and was INCREDIBLY smart. I would trust him with my life. I was shocked and saddened to learn of...

Dr Israelson changed my life-an absolute radical transformation that in no way is an exaggeration and I am sure I am not his only patient for whom that is true. Twenty years ago I arrived in his office in complete despair, having suffered for decades with the progressively worsening consequences of a severe mouth injury sustained in a major car accident as a teenager. I had just received the most devastating news from another dentist that there was nothing else left but being fitted for...
