Not sure what to say?

I worked with Dr. Wisner 1984 and did massage in his office. He flew the whole office to Galveston for lunch one time

I was one of Dr. Wisners first patients, in 1967, when he started his practice in Garland. He performed knee surgery on me at that time and 3 other times due to my not following his directions. I was, and am, an avid motorcyclist as was he and he treated me as a friend, which is the way he always greeted me. I will forever treasure that friendship.

There are no words to express the specialness of Howard. He will be missed by so many. My love and prayers go to his family, especially his beloved daughters Carolyn and Marilyn.

God bless you,

Vera

I met Howard when he shared a home with John Harvey Johnson MD in Dallas in the early 70s. Howard insisted that I attend college and gave me the self confidence to try. I will always be indebted to him for his friendship and concern. He was truly one who "made a difference". Goodbye Happy Howard.

In March of '73, I was seriously injured in a traffic accident in Garland, TX. On arrival at the hospital, I met an orthopedic surgeon who told me that of all the bones I had, this was the worst one to break, and in the worst place to break it.
Luckily for me, the surgeon was Dr. Wisner, and I can walk today thanks to his talent. I keep the scars because I have to, I keep his memory because I want to.

Godspeed Dr. W.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Wisner. He was my doctor for many years and I as well as the community will greatly miss him.
