Not sure what to say?

Dr Siegel was the doctor of all of the children in my family. His help to us is indescribable. I would like to know his Hebrew name and that of his father to have prayers said in his memory

Dr. Siegel was such a wonderful man and doctor. I first met him around 1970 when he was treating my little brother for asthma, and I became his patient as well in the late 70s. He was such a caring man, always taking the time to make sure I understood everything about my brother´s and later my own care. He didn´t limit himself to my asthma, always keeping abreast of my other medical conditions as well. He continued to treat me until I moved out of the L.A. area in 1994. I still remember him...

A real mench’

Loved, loved, loved Dr. Siegal.
I met him as an adult and have only wonderful memories of his compassion, understanding and dedication.
He was a brilliant, and treasured doctor and I will always appreciate his gentle care especially when I was pregnant with my twins. He was one of a kind.

I was treated by Dr. Siegel in the early 1980's and can't thank him and his staff enough for the superb treatment I received.

Dr Siegel was an inspiration to all of us the asthma and allergy community. He gave of his energies, knowledge and personal resources. He was a founder as well as a consummate and enduring leader.

Dr. Siegel was my pediatrician in the 1950's and 1960's and was a treasured friend of my Mom and Dad. He was an Eagle Scout and encouraged my son, Sam, to become an Eagle Scout. He was a friend to all and a mentor to multiple generations. He was all that every man hopes to be, and we will miss him dearly.

I was a long standing colleague of Sheldon's in both the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America and the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology. With our wives we had many good times together at meetings of these organizations. Sheldon was widely recognized for both his clinical research and as a compassionate practitioner of his specialty. Likewise he was a great teacher.
