Not sure what to say?

Delivered my daughter on September 12, 2000 after I asked to be induced and promised to have him back at work by Noon. I did as I promised! He even let my husband help deliver our daughter. Everyone at work loved him.

Dr. Poindexter, the most wonderful OB/GYN doc ever.

I would like to say that I wish I had the opportunity to meet the Man that delivered me from my mother's womb...back in February 1976 at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento CA, 44 years ago...It's an honor to say I salute you Sir, and I thank God for you being there through it all. Thank very very much. Rest In Heavenly Peace

Im 46 yrs old and as Im talking with mom whos in end stage COPD she mentioned Doc as the one who delivered me....in a sad ironic twist, my mom grew up in Twin Falls before she moved to Sac and we actually live in Boise today.......Thanks Dr ....mom will be seeing you again shortly....!!

He saved my life and I'm forever greatful to him! For the first time in my life I really felt save with no fear before my surgery appointment! He is still missed as I have almost died three times since from infections.He is missed!
May God be with you all.

I only had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Poindexter recently when I went in for my annual check-up.

He was a charming, courtly and wonderfully wise man. Since I was his last patient of the day, we had the opportunity to take a few minutes to just chat and he told me a bit of his life story.

As I was leaving, I said "Well, I'll see you next year, then?" And Dr. Poin replied, "The good Lord willing." Perhaps the Lord had need of a kind and gentle soul for the babies...
