Not sure what to say?

I often think of Dr. Joel Prawer and the wonderful physician and teacher he was. His kindness and intelligence made him such a unique physician and I was proud to work with him. His son is indeed a wonderful physician, who has and that blend of caring and kindness only matched by his medical knowledge. Joel Prawer helped many patients to live a better life and allowed them to have a say in their quality of life long before patient-centered outcomes was a concern of most healthcare providers....

Wonderful boss and doctor. Cant believe he is gone. Worked with him for 14 years. Very sad

This past Saturday, the St. Paul Central Class of 1969 gathered together at a small park to celebrate and reminisce.

When you see someone so infrequently, there can be a bit of an awkward feeling, but this never existed with Joel. He remained the same warm, friendly,...

Sorry to hear about Dr. Prawer's passing. I enjoyed our Dr/patient relationship and our long talks. My best to Dr. Adam and the family. He will be missed.

Joel was a very good doctor and friend...
