Not sure what to say?

So sorry to be reading about Dr. Saia's passing 2 years ago. He took such good care of our family back in Rockville. We stared with him in 1980 and left the area in 2003. I can honestly say he was the best family doctor we ever had and set a standard none have met since we moved away. We still complain about current health care by saying this is not how Dr. Saia would have treated us. I never heard the Dr. Welbey reference while living in Rockville, but it's a good one and reflects highly...

I and my husband were high school classemates of John's at Evander Childs. He was lovely. Sorry I missed him as we are Florida residents now .....

I am sad to hear of Dr Saia´s passing. He was my doctor for so many years once I left my pediatricians care. He also was our entire family´s doctor and always felt like he was our personal Dr. Welby. I think of him often when passing the spot where the offices were on Veirs Mill Rd.

My name is Brenda Jones Holmes. Dr. Saia and his wife Barbara/children were family friends treasured for years , with many happy holidays and vacations together. He was loyal, generous, caring , and so much fun! I am grieving.

Dr. Saia was the coolest dude this side of Dean Martin. I had the pleasure of being around the Dr. and (Barbara) and their family for over 30 years. What a fun loving man. An absolute treasure. They don make them like that anymore. He was very kind and always happy go lucky. He will be missed..

The McDonald and Saia families had a lot of fun together - Lakewood Country Club, swim meets, poker games in the basement (adults only) trips in the RV (parents only), the boat and seeing Clint Holmes (oh yea that's right Coleen and Chris were left at home with a babysitter). Good times, great fun and fabulous memories. Dr. Saia was in the middle of it all. Dr. Saia, your antics were always so entertaining. You are already missed. You touched so many lives and did so many great things -...

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a great doctor and a mentor for me. I'll never forget his solid advice and confidence he gave me.

Worked many years in radiology at Suburban Hospital. He would always pass through radiology between 5:30 and 6:30 am on his way to ICU to round on his patients. He always had time to chat a few minutes with our early am staff. The man is a legend and will surely be missed by all that knew him. RIP brother.

Dr. Saia was one of a kind from a group of doctors that took care of Rockville. As a nurse, I saw Dr. Saia frequently, especially with critical patients. He took care of my dad. He has been missed but left his mark. God Bless.
