Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened by the new of Dr, Shafai. He was my pediatrician when I was a child. When my mother adopted me. I was grown when I left his office. I was scared to go anyway were else. I mean I was so tall hanging off the bed in the exam room. May he rest in peace.

An old friend I´ll never forget.....

I just learned today that this amazing man has moved on to a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I could not have asked for a better, more caring man as the physician for my daughter. The patience, love, and concern he had for his patients was clear. He is sorely missed!!

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Dr. Shafai's Family. He was My doctor as a child and was my kids doctor until they were adults. He was the best. He was so important to me and I am saddened by this loss. I had so much love for him over 35 years of care from the same doctor. I couldn't have asked for better care for myself and my children. And wouldn't have chosen any other doctor. I am so thankful for him.

Ahhh, I just learned of this wonderful man's passing. I was with him when he and Dr. Richard Tompkins opened their first private practice in Riverside. The 3 of us came from working together at the clinic at Riverside General Hospital. When I left in 1977, we had 6 doctors & 10 employees plus a clinic in Corona. It was so hard to leave this wonderful job & the wonderful people that I worked with. My sincere condolences to his loving family, some that I knew & those that I didn't. RIP my...
