Not sure what to say?

Dr. Sampson has given me every year of my life past my 35th year. I am now 80 years old but only because he successfully got me in remission from the deadly AML blood cancer. That's more than 45 years his gift of life allowing me time to find my life partner of 44 years and 3 grandchildren. Dr. Sampson was not only a wonderful doctor but a fine man. I knew I was in the best of hands through a very difficult treatment plan. I was in the hospital with one complication from chemo after another....

I am so sorry to see this. You were truly a kind, caring human being and doctor. We need more like you in this world. You cared about the humanity and safety of health care for all patients in our country, and you were very astute and generous with your time and knowledge. Please know you are missed by many!! My condolences to your family.

I am so grateful, Wally, that you live on in my memories. Rarely a day goes by without thoughts of you that bring a smile of gladness that such a person as you has graced my life.

Rita, my heart is with you always in compassion for your loss and enduring gratitude for your mentorship at One South. You and Wally had a deep influence on the development of my character and my ever growing...

A Grateful Patient

My sincere and deepest condolences to Dr. Sampson's wife and family. I only just saw his obituary in 2018.

I have gone on to have 3 grandchildren and adopted my then partner's adult child after her Mother passed away in 2009. I have had a good life thanks to Dr. Sampson. I was also honored to speak at his...

I just learned of the passing of this extraordinary person and physician/scientist. He had a powerful influence on my thinking in graduate school and my ability to be carefully discriminating in my professional life as a psychotherapist. He made the scientific method a living force in the intellectual and spiritual aspects of my life. His kindness and wisdom were so helpful to me when he guided me thru understanding, accepting and managing some medical problems I encountered in my 20's. ...

Wally was a wonderful physician and friend we shared many patients at the Sunnyvale clinic. He taught me many things, he will be greatly missed.

I learned so much from Dr. Sampson and his undying devotion to science-based medicine. Wishing peace to his family during this difficult time.

A great teacher and leader in the fight against misguided and dangerous medical practices.

A wonderful man and great doctor. May you rest in peace. My condolences to the Sampson family.
