Not sure what to say?

My family

I do not know where to begin as tears roll down my face. I am just now learning of the passing of Dr. Gretter.

I will not forget the first time I was anxiously waiting to meet Dr. Gretter. But once we met he promised to get to the bottom of everything. HE BELIEVED IN ME when no one else would (other than my mom).
At 24 years young - most said nothing was wrong.
Because of that - I was in a dark place.

I loved Dr. Gretter as he stood at battle with me. Once...

Thank you Dr. Gretter for your compassion, knowledge, and true dedication to those you swore to help. My daughter was in such pain and she had your undivided attention while staying at the Ronald McDonald House. I'm sure that Heaven has rejoiced in your transition to our Father's Kingdom. I would also like to thank his family for the countless hours he spent away from them, missing family get togethers, holidays, birthdays, and anniversary's, so he could help those in such desprite need. ...

DR, GRETTER WAS NOT ONLY MY DOCTOR FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, BUT HE WAS MY FRIEND. I HAD TO CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT ABOUT A YR. AND A HALF AGO AND HE CALLED ME AT HOME TO MAKE SURE I WAS O.K. HE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL SOUL AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST A VERY GOOD FRIEND AND I WILL MISS HIM BEYOND WORDS. WE ALWAYS SAT AND TALKED ABOUT OUR FAMILIES AND WHAT EVERYONE WAS DOING. I WAS ALWAYS COMFORTABLE WITH HIM. I ALWAYS FELT HE WAS TREATING ME AS A PERSON NOT JUST A NUMBER.
A FEW YRS. BACK MY...

A truly kind man that always went the extra mile. I had the pleasure of seeing him 10+ times in my health journey and he was that diamond in the ruff doctor that never cut an appointment short, went above and beyond to help me and put his patients first. Rest in piece

Dr. Gretter was one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever met. He treated me for severe migraine in 1993. I am forever grateful to him. He gave me back my life. Please accept my condolences.

From a grateful patient.

I always referred to Dr. Gretter as my most effective doctor. He treated me for headaches following a traumatic brain injury sustained from a motor vehicle accident. He helped me tremendously! In addition to his professional competence, Dr. Gretter was a very personable & an obviously intelligent gentleman. My father & I always enjoyed chatting to Dr. Gretter about numerous topics during our visits. From our visits twice a year we'd swap small stories of our lives, usually about my toddler or...

Joan, we were so sorry to hear about Tom. You
and your family will be kept in our prayers.
Sincerely, Virginia and David Walter

Dr. Gretter was a very kind man, he was courteous to his scheduling staff and always appeared to be in a good mood. May you all find comfort in your memories!

I had the pleasure of cutting Tom's hair over the past few years. We had great conversations; with the current political climate we were never at a loss for words. The last time I saw him, I taught him to use Twitter at his request. He was very curious and excited to start tweeting, I loved his curiosity. I feel blessed to have known him, a dear sweet man. My deepest sympathy
