Marvin CRESSMAN

My sincere condolences. Dr. Cressman did my back surgery in 1999. He was a professional and compassionate doctor but, also a very nice person. He left quite a legacy.

Dr. Crossman was my favorite doctor, even though he scared me at first!! We became great buddies and had a lot of laughs together. I cried when we moved to Dallas and I had to find another neurosurgeon. I'll never forget him and so sorry I only found this obituary today.

My sincere sympathies to Dr. Marvin Cressman´s family. I had the fortune to be operated by him in 1991 of a herniated disc. He had the patience to explain to me the procedure he was about to performed looking at my anatomy book. He was amused after the operation when he gave me a bottle of pain medication, and I told him I will bring it back unused. I told him that his sound advise will be followed along with a `juicing protocol´ and no pain killers. I fulfilled my promise! I am well...

I will always remember Dr. Cressman as being a caring doctor. He performed a herniated disc operation on me and had all the patience to explain to me the procedure looking at my anatomy book. He was very pleased of my keen interest on what was going to be done. He was amused also when I returned his pain killer medication completely untouched. I promised him I will recover with a good juicing protocol and his sound advise. It has been thirty years and I am fine! Thank you Dr. Cressman

Dr Cressman removed a brain tumour from me in 1992 and from my husband in 1994. We were living in the States from Britain and knew no-one . Dr Cressman was a wonderfully reassuring man and a great surgeon. We developed a great rapport and we found him very inspiring. I think of him often and am so grateful he was there for us when we were so far from home.

We are saddened by the loss of Dr. Cressman. He performed brain surgery on our daughter Wendy in 1995 giving her more years of life. She passed in 2011 and we are thankful to Dr. Cressman for that time.

I had worked with Dr. Cressman, (as a Surgical Technologist) for many years at Brackenridge Hospital, Austin,TX, I have never forgotten his humor, and his compassion for every patient he had. After 30 years as a Surgical PA, I can say that he was by far the most talented Neurosurgeon I have ever had the privilege to work for. I have often thought of the DR, who I referred to as "Uncle Marvie" during those surgeries when he was assisted by his friend and fellow surgeon, who I called "Uncle...

I think of him and his colleague Dr. LaLonde quite often. Over 30 years ago they did an operation on my spine that gave me back my life. I've been forever grateful. And I also appreciated his rather droll sense of humor. So many other people he helped over his long career must have similar feelings.
