Dr. Stanley Soren

It is a mark of modern healthcare at its best that every effort be made to establish a trust inspiring rapport between caregiver and care receiver. It is this extra attention to the quality of the relationship that lends a greater likelihood of positive treatment outcomes, from compliance to hopeful cure, and it is this attention that most thoughtful patients seek when choosing their providers. Stanley Soren had mastered this art, addressing his care receivers primarily as people,...

Dr. Soren contacted me a number of times for research assistance at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where I work as a librarian. I was always pleased to hear his voice on the telephone. He was kind, friendly, respectful, sharp, and curious about increasing his clinical expertise. I send all my sympathy to Dr. Soren's family and friends.

I met Stan in Lincoln High through mutual friends who grew up in Coney Island who all agreed that not only was he the smartest person they knew but had a wonderful sense of humor to go with it. I'm sure he leaves behind great memories as legacy to his family and all who all who ever met him.

To the Soren family, You are in my prayers, as you say goodbye to a very fine doctor and man. Doctor Soren set my broken foot, back in 1979.

As he was applying the cast with my mother standing by, he commented to me " I'm kind of happy this happended". When I asked him why, he replied " I'd rather be treating you, than a neurosurgeon be attending to you, right now". ...

As a neighbor of Dr. Soren I knew him to be a fine man and devoted to the noble profession of medicine. It was an honor to have met him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
