Not sure what to say?

Dr. Bogojavlensky, was the best in his field of Medicine. I was a young girl of 16 years when I first met him and he took such good care of me for many years. He was always patient and really listened to what you said and worked with you to help you feel better. He did many surgeries on me and I trusted him so much. When I found out he was retiring and moving to Alaska I was devestated as I wouldn't see him again but elated for him and his family. He was a wonderful person and we always spoke...

I worked with Sergei at the Peter Bent Brigham. He was a surgical resident at that time, I was a nursing assistant. It was in the Emergency Room. He was a total mensch! Such a wonderful and kind and gentle soul. Was grear to work with Sergei.

I have thought of Dr Bogo fondly over the years. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I first met him when I was a scared pregnant 16 year old high risk pregnancy in Fitchburg. He also delivered my second child. He was an amazing doctor and person.

I was so sorry to learn of Dr.Bogojavlensky's passing. Not only was he a wonderful physician but a true humanitarian.

We cannot express our sorrow in finding out that Sergei has past. he was my doctor from 1984 until he moved to Alaska. He saved my life! And, from Alaska he helped me get critical medical attention by connecting me with collegues at the Brigham. If the Brigham couldn't help me, then we were flying to Alaska because I trusted his care so much! Dr. Bogo became a friend to my husband Jim and I. I beleive I am the patient that he performed the first laparoscopic ingunal mesh hernia repair in...

I first met Dr. Bogo in 1981 in his Fitchburg, MA office. I was having trouble getting pregnant and no one cold figure out why. He did. I had surgery and got pregnant right away. I delivered a beautiful baby girl. That beautiful little girl is now 32 and just delivered her own beautiful baby girl... I am forever grateful to this wonderful man. My prayers are with you and your family. ?

A year ago today, I found my beloved husband dead in his office. I am much better now, thank you for all of your warm wishes, memories and most importantly stories about him. He deserves to be remembered for his big heart, his larger than life personally and great intellect.
