JOHN POLIO M.D.

Recalling fond memories of a Caring Human Being and wonderful physician.

I was a patient of Dr. Polio's at Hartford Hospital Transplant Center, and was deeply saddened today to learn of his passing in 2015. What I came to appreciate about Dr. Polio was not only his professional excellence, but his simple kindness and genuine empathy for the humanity of his patients. Although he was much in demand and had a very full schedule, he never gave the appearance of being rushed, and always made the time to care for not only his patients, but their families as well. He not...

Dr Polio was a giant amongst physicians. He will always be remembered and missed.

I just learned of the passing of Dr. Polio and am so saddened. I was a patient of his and have the most profound admiration and utmost respect for him. His calm, competent, compassionate, and caring demeanor made him a truly great doctor and a real role model for all doctors. He was an amazing man and I consider myself lucky to have been in his care.
I also lost my dear Dad to pancreatic cancer at the early age of 60, in 1993. So this news hits home in a big way. Dr Polio's family...

I first want to offer my condolences to Dr. Polio"s family. He was a remarkable man who was compassionate, kind and brilliant. I came to be his patient because I desperately needed a second opinion. Dr. Polio was able to figure out what was happening to me medically when numerous other doctors were not.

I will never forget the advice he gave me and the care and compassion he treated me with. He was the kind of doctor all doctors should aspire to be.

I am at a loss for words about Dr. Polio's passing. I relocated to Florida from CT and just gave my daughter his name for a GI consultation. She then told me of his passing which she saw online. He was a gentle soul & was a true professional. Condolences to his family. May he sleep in peace....

Dr. Polio was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful man. He always treated his patients with respect and sensitivity. He was my doctor and the loss of him and to all who knew him is monumental. Rest in peace and I know you are with God.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Polio. He was a wonderful man. He was my Doctor for almost 9 yrs. I had the utmost respect for him and his knowledge. He helped me cope with my illness and I will forever be grateful to him. I loved your dad's spirit and mellow personality. Praying for his family. God took his angel too soon.

I just learned today of Dr. Polio's passing. I am so saddened. He was a marvelous physician and an extraordinarily kind human being. May he rest in peace. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
