Not sure what to say?

I was just searching for Dr. Bohnert as my mom used to see him prior to 2019 and she continues to struggle. I am so sad to see that he passed away last year. He really was a great doctor, very caring, took things seriously, and was available for his patients any time. It was always a pleasure seeing him. I send my belated condolences to all his family and friends. We lost a good one. Its not easy finding a good mental health doctor!

I just recently found out about Michael's passing. It's has been many years since I've seen Michael and Dawn, but I have never forgotten them. I loved the way he and Dawn loved and cared for each other. Michael was one of the loveliest people I'd ever met - he really was so special. He was kind, intelligent, and so so funny. He was one of those people that made the world a better place just by being here. I'm so sorry that he's gone.

I was Dr. Bohnert's patient for over 15 years. I would not be exaggerating when I say he saved my life. His sage advice and compassionate care were the corner stones of my recovery.

I wish to send my condolences to his family. I hope they find some peace in knowing that we all had richer lives because of him.

I worked with Michael Bohnert at the (then) Counseling Center for a few years. During that time, I really enjoyed interacting with Dr. Bohnert as he was one of the most easy going people I have met. His calm demeanor made him approachable. Any time Dr. Bohnert would ask something of me, and I would complete the task, he would always say "Thanks Michele, you're a peach!" For all his surviving family members and closest friends, please know, you were truly blessed to have this man in your...

Sending love and prayers for peace as your family deals with the loss of your brother, Michael. As I read about him, I am amazed at the wonderful and contributing person he was. Condolences especially to Barb, my U of E hostess whenever I would visit my future husband, Doug.

I am sad to learn of Dr Bonhert's passing. He was my doctor for 13 years, and helped me to live a better life. He was kind, compassionate, welcoming and brilliant. My condolences to his wife, family, friends, colleagues and patients - the world was a better place because of Dr. Bonhert.

Coworker does not quite reflect the relationship that I had with Dr. Bohnert. He was my doctor and a trusted confidant for over 10 years. I only saw him every 3 months but it was always a pleasure to sit and talk with him after we got the "business" part out of the way. He and I bonded over our shared love of the city of Philadelphia as I was born and raised there and when he found out, he told me wonderful stories about some of the places he went as a much younger man and student at the...

We send our deepest condolences to you. The thought of Michael will always bring a smile to our faces. We will always remember the fun we had with you both, dining and concert going, but especially the good times when you rented the house down the street from us. May your memories of him bring you comfort and happiness. We hope the days ahead will not be too difficult for you.

Much love, Mel and Bill Berg

Only 3 times in the last many years have I been in Michael's company, I know him best through his sister Peg's unforgettable stories. His death leaves
A certain yearning and I am so sorry for your loss.
