Not sure what to say?

I just became aware of the death of Dr. Buchalter. I was a twenty one year old new graduate of Baptist School of Nursing, in 1975, when I met Dr. Buchalter . I was working on the Psych unit at Baptist Hospital. I learned so much from him. He was so very kind to his patients. I went on to become head nurse, psych instructor at BMHSON and Psych Staff Development Instructor, all at Baptist. He was always so kind and patient with his patients and the staff. I had the highest respect for him. I...

I still think of Dr. Buchalter to this day. He was such a wonderful doctor. I have looked for someone to fill his shoes but still to this day I am still looking. No one compared to him is available nor do I think I will ever find another doctor like him. Literally I am still looking. A prayer for you, his wife and family is said today in memory of Dr. Buchalter. Bless you all.

When I first meet Dr Robert Buchalter 17 years ago. I knew he was the doctor I seriously needed in my life. He always knew what to say to me whenever I wanted to address anything that what was bothering me. His mannerism was excellent and you can definitely see that he was a great person deep inside. I truly value his opinion and he is definitely one of a kind. It is so hard to find another caring person like him. My heart and prayers goes out to The Buchalter's family. May God continue to...

I just recently learned about the passing of Dr.Buchalter from a mutual patient after returning from personal leave from my private practice after losing my own husband to sudden death. Dr. Buchalter and I shared many patients and many referrals over the years, and I held the upmost respect for him as a colleague and the incredible work he did with our patients. My heart goes out to his wife and family whom I never knew but certainly know their pain. May peace be in your hearts.

My name is Gloria Washington. I had the privilege of meeting Mr Buchalter and family at Baptist Hospital while being a caretaker for his mother Mrs. Doris Buchalter. Myself and 2 others took great joy in caring for Mrs Doris before she passed away. Such a nice and highly educated lady and the entire family as well.

Truely a small world, Dr Buchalter became my doctor in 2014 and still the pleasant person I remembered. He didn't remember me, and when I told him he smiled. He...

We knew Dr. Buchalter as "Carol's older brother" - the phrase with which his professor sister invoked him at the start of each new cohort of the Museum Education Program (MEP) at the George Washington University. His loving and abiding influence on Carol lives on through hundreds of MEP alum as they continue to pursue lofty goals for society.

Peace to all the family.

With love from Lotte Lent

20 year's ago I came to you I was severely depressed, full of anxiety and panic attacks among other things. You helped me and changed my life. I will always been in debt to you. You were an incredible doctor. It's going to be difficult to find another doctor like you. Thank you so much for the awesome 20 year's of care you provided me Dr Buchalter I'm going to miss you. R.I.P.

Dr. Buchalter was such a kind practitioner. He was a real Mensch, and He will be sorely missed.

Peace be with the family. J. Valley
