Dr. Schiffer taught me a life long lesson. As I was packing up his office he said I don't need my wall certificates and degrees a man is defined as who is is not who he was. Jesse Martinez

Sid always acted like the distinguished physician he was, a real gentleman.

Our condolences to my colleague Sid's wife, Fern, and their family.
Drs. Bill & Pat Donovan.

Dr Schiffer was my first "boss" and taught me so very much...in fact, it was through his teaching that I embarked on a 35--year career as a Medical Assistant. Long before it became a degree course. He was patient, kind and sensitive. . . a true role model. Barbara Fagan Williams

My condolences to the Schiffer family on the loss of Sydney.
