I an a Realtor in Roanoke, VA, and was just running the hotsheet for the day. I saw Dr. Wisman's residence listed on there as "The estate of..." It really made me super sad. As many others here have said, he assisted Dr. Ridgeway delivering me 61 years ago, and then delivered my daughter 33 years ago. He was loved by my family. When you went to see him, it was so old school...he would do his exam, and then sit in his office and discuss whatever you wanted to, and then write out your...

I just found out today that the best man and Dr., in the world is no longer with us. HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! And so pleased that I told him that while he was still with us. I heard another Dr call him a real gentlemans -gentleman meaning he was true blue and an example for all Dr's and men. He delivered me in 1969 and I refused to have a child unless he was the Dr., for me in the delivery. His knowledge was outstanding, his care for his patients OUTSTANDING. My mom, aunts and myself...

Doctor Wisman, ( 12-11-23 ) I was thinking of you just now, and with this smart phone that I have, I decided to look you up. My heart is literally broken . I started seeing you in 1967, and I knew that you would be the only doctor that would take care of that area.I stuck to my word. I also found out that my aunt had been going to you also. ( she loved you just as much ) I'm 72 years of age, and the babies are all grown, with babies of their own. I still have the picture that I took in...

Dr. Wiseman delivered both my sons back in the 70´s. He was the most patient and caring person l could have had. After my children were born I continued to see him for Many years after he was the "Best" and l will always remember him.

It is with a sad Heart to be sending this message. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Wisman. In 1989 he saved my life and prior to that day and many years ahead he was the kindest,compassionate Physician that I have ever know. He worked with my Mother at Carilion for years and deprived my niece 49 years ago. He was Physian to my two oldest Daughters and delieved my Grandson 25 years ago , who was born weighing 2lbs and 3oz. My granddaughter who is now 25 . I visited him at the office the day...

Bobby and I were good friends even though he was 3 years older than me. We played baseball together, had long talks about everything we could think of, we ran around together a few times. He was full of life & fun. Many girls commented about how handsome he was. I am thinking about him today, plus the impact he had on my life.
