Stanley Edward Gitlow

Dr. Gitlow would not remember me, but he treated me for hypertension while I was a medical student at Mt. Sinai from 1977-1981. I still practice Emergency Medicine at Jefferson in Philadelphia (40 hrs) and will always remember how impressed I was back then with Dr. Gitlow´s professionalism and communication skills. He was a man of utmost integrity and served as a role model for me as a young medical student. Simply stated, I wanted to be just like him! Ted Christopher, MD, MSSM Class of 1981

What a brilliant man he was! He challenged me on every front and taught me more than I can say. With my deepest sympathies to his family. He will be so missed.

Dr. Gitlow's insights truly helped me, perhaps even saved my life. They reckon ill who grasp not his wisdom.

Stan's vision and ability to push back intelligently and hard, and then avidly endorse ideas and people that he believed could be transformative changed my life, and the lives of everyone touched by his huge support of NextGenU.org and our Addiction Medicine work. If it weren't for him and his kindness, dedication, nurturance, and humor, that wouldn't exist...

I am so sorry for your loss. His gentleness and wisdom has touched so many of us who have worked in the field of addiction. He brought dignity to our profession. I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the Gitlow family. The picture of Stu and his dad in the photo gallery is such a testament to the legacy of Dr. Stanley Gitlow and his pride in seeing his son follow in his footsteps.

My condolences to the Gitlow family. Dr. Gitlow left an enduring legacy in the field of addiction medicine.

My deepest sympathy to the Gitlow family. Dr. Gitlow's impact will forever be present, especially from the many that he helped struggling with addiction and finding their way to recovery.
