Dr Edelstein was one my favorite attendings from my residency. He is remembered by all his trainees for being a wonderful teacher as well as a voracious stair climber! Condolences to your family

Dr. Edelstein was the best at taking care of the Veterans and teaching new doctors the rules, regulations, policies and how to get through their rotation. He would sit them all down in the auditorium and teach them. Once he left it was never done again. We will all miss you!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will miss you always.
