Not sure what to say?

Though I never met Lester, I do know Katherine. My memory of Lester is through the stories Katherine shared with me about their life together . Love, family, and fortune blessed their lives. Katherine, thank you so much for blessing my life. I'll remember you always. Grace

I discovered, today, that Dr. Isenstadt died six months ago. I knew him as his patient for three years, and before that, as a teacher at a school where Dr. Isenstadt volunteered an hour once a month to talk with us about our student´s problematic behaviors. I hadn´t seen Dr. Isenstadt for over 15 years, but he lived in my mind, and occasionally I would call his number after hours to make sure that he was in the world , and practicing psychiatry. I feel a sense of loss knowing that he is gone,...

I just found out about Dr. Isenstadt passing and I am saddened to hear this. He was a great psychiatrist and I can hear his voice now asking me how my mood has been. May he rest in peace

I've just learned of Dr. Isenstadt's death. My condolences to his family. His kindness and caring along with his professional expertise were so important to me and my son in a very difficult time decades ago. He was a gift to us all.

A wonderful man who guided me through many difficult times during the 52 years I was his patient. I miss him but his wisdom and guidance live on in my heart.

Dr. Isenstadt assisted our family for over two decades. He taught me a good deal about how humans work, informed both by his focus on neuroscience and by an evolutionary perspective, and he offered practical counsel about how to manage in the world. Beyond his insights, "Dr. I" was an extraordinarily patient and gentle soul. Though I hadn't seen him in a good while, I miss his presence among the living. Still, his lessons and warmth abide in those he helped.

I just today learned of Dr Isenstadt´s passing and would like to pass on condolences to his family. I was fortunate to have known him and to have him as my physician.

Dr. Isenstadt helped me so much. He listened to me and I felt understood. I will miss him. Wishing great condolences to his family and friends.

Dr Isenstadt was a brilliant man and irreplaceable as a psychiatrist. I'm incredibly grateful to have known him as a patient for over 20 years. His passing is a tragic loss indeed.
