Mark Oberdoerster

To the family of Dr. O, wishing you memories that ease your loss and love that heals your sadness. He was a wonderful doctor and person.

Marc and I are so saddened to hear of Marks passing. We thought the world of him when we saw him on occasion as patients. We pray for comfort and peace for his family. Marc and Pam Cripe

My condolences to the family. I actually heard of his recent death from one of his patients at the veteran administration today and i was in shock. I first met Mark when he was working in IHA before he started his practice in partners in internal medicine. I was a resident at the time and had to do a rotation as part of the internal medicine training. I enjoyed his rapport with the patients and his empathy and compassion. He will be missed as he made the world better.

I just heard of Mark´s passing from a mutual friend. I am so sorry for his family´s loss. Mark and Debbie were my medical residents when I was an intern at Mt Sinai in the early 1980s. Mark made the practice of medicine fun, despite all the inherent stress. I will celebrate a life well lived. Claudia Cisar Chapek , MD

I´m so sorry for your loss! I knew Mark for decades as I often swam in the lake next to him both at NCRB and in the summer at Racquet Club. His son Zach and my son Doug were on RX swim team together ages ago. I´ll miss seeing you at the pool Mark! What an adoring grandpa he was! And a wonderful human being.

It has only been a short time but Mark is greatly missed by all. He has left such great memories to live on in his friends and family. A true mark of a life well lived caring for others.

The best doctor ever thank you so much Dr O

This is a huge and tragic loss to us, personally, as well as to the community. Mark had been our PCP for over 31 years, ever since we moved to Ann Arbor, and shepherded us thru sickness and health with compassion, care, humor, and friendship. We traded stories about our (initially) young families, and shared excitement as children grew and pursued careers in healthcare. We were always amazed at his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge and his enthusiasm over his profession. He will be sorely...

Dr Oberdoerster, I sadly just received a letter notifying me of your passing. I am beyond devastated, and in disbelief. I very much benefited from your being my physician for many years. We were the same age. And I knew you cared for me. And I'll never forget you. Cynthia Morgan.
