Mark Root

We were friends in mid school and flew to the Carolinas together for college. I am sad to hear of his passing.

Thank you so much for Mark's obituary. It brings back many good memories.

He was incredible in helping my family. He was recommended by dr.magoon,when Dr. Magoon had his heart surgery. Our family needed his expertise,because he worked at ypsi,he worked with really bad mental health. So I looked him up and seen he passed. OMG. It reminded me of all the people he helped with his special expertise. I don't have a clue where to turn to now!!!! Wow all the dr.s listed but they don't have Dr. Magoon s or Dr. Roots experience with serious mental health,or able to make the...

Mark was a friend and colleague. We collaborated on many patients and I appreciated his keen insights and compassion. We also enjoyed playing Tai Chi together especially at the Michigan Cloud Hands events. I will miss him.

Dr. Root made a profound impact on me from his care when I was a young teenager to my adult life. He was gentle, kind, compassionate, and always gave his patients as much time as they needed (if you know, you know). I still think about some of his insights today, two decades later. He was such a bright spot in the world, and the good work he has done lives on in so many people.

You were a dr and a friend, helped my husband survive bi-polar disorder.....rest in peace you will be missed

Mark was the most incredible person I have ever met. Truly loved his work and patients. Great friend and mentor. I learned so much from him. A true gentleman and wonderful human.

Mark Root MD was one of the greatest people to walk the earth. I was fortunate to be his friend. Mkarlphd
