Dr. Pizzarello, the years pass so quickly and it's unbelievable how long it's been since you've been gone. I miss you today just as much as the day you passed and I will always remember how much you helped me emotionally and to feel better physically. You were the BEST and I'll be forever grateful to you for everything you've done to help me. I miss you! So much has changed since you've been gone and there'll never be another doctor so dedicated and compassionate as you. R.I.P. Forever...

Dr. Pizzarello I miss you more than words can ever express. Although this remembrance is a little late in coming, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and what a wonderful doctor and friend you were to me. You were the best and you helped me more than anybody else ever did. Thank you for always believing in me more than I believed in myself. I am where I am today all because of you. I know you'd be proud of the progress I've made. It's been five years since you passed...

It's amazing how quickly one year passed since Dr. Pizzarello left us. He left such beautiful memories behind, his compassion, friendliness, caring, kindness, and especially his dedication to his patients. To know him was to love him. I was a patient of Dr. Pizzarello for 30 years and he helped me in so many ways. He was so proud when I succeeded in losing weight for pain, exercising, and feeling better because of his support and encouragement. Even in the worst pain, his sense of humor...

Dr. P you were the best. My husband was treating with you for years. How we loved your work, and the talks about golf. You will be so missed. Thought and prays go out to Mrs. Pizzarello, and family.

What a great man and surgeon. I worked Fatima O R in the 1980s and 1990s with him - giving anesthesia for many of his cases. We had many laughs and fun times with Dr. Pete: kind man, great surgeon. He will be missed by so so many people. I'll remember him well. Sincere sympathy - a great loss / a great man.
