Not sure what to say?

I met Dr. Monsour in 1992 after many years of being misdiagnosed. I was treated for asthma unsucessfully until I began coughing up blood. My local pulmonologist referred me to Dr. Monsour and I am very glad he did. He wasted no time evaluating me and diagnosed me as having carcinoid tumors of the right lung. He was very sympathetic and caring. I was blessed to be in his care. I am sure he is receiving his blessings in heaven.

In 1971, Doctor Mansour operated on my niece, who was only 15. She is now 65, very active, an amazing and awesome woman. My family and I know that the Doctor saved her life. We are all grateful beyond words.

I am presently 35 years old. When I was about 14 I discovered I had achalasia and hiatal hernia. I was wasting away because of my inability to digest food. Dr. Mansour performed a myotomy and fundoplication surgery at Emory. Since then I have had no problems and I am forever greatful to him. He was an amazing person and I am sad to learn that he has passed. I'm sure there is a special place in heaven for him.

It was an honor to interact with you at Emory and to cross paths later as well.
Go in peace for a life well lived.

Miss Sylvia & Family:
I had the honor of knowing Dr. Mansour for many years while working at Emory Clinic.

As he rejoices with the Lord, let us all remember a truly great man and an exceptional physician.

Keeping you lifted in prayer.

With love and well wishes....

Our family has lived deeply indebted to Dr. Mansour for nearly 40 years. in 1977, after Houston doctors called my mother's complicated condition hopeless, we brought her to our home in Atlanta, and were blessed to find Dr. Mansour at Emory. He performed the complex, high risk surgery that "can't be done, but I can do it" (his own words), and miraculously gave my dear mother 11 more years of quality life. When she returned to Emory at age 87 with breast cancer, he paid a courtesy...

It was an honor to know and work with Dr. Mansour for many years at Emory University. I have many fond memories of him and will miss his smiling face.
