Dr. Glassberg was my doctor for over 25 years. In 2011, I was moving out of state and I remember giving him a big hug to say goodbye. I will never forget him. He was the smartest, kindest doctor I ever met. Dr. Glassberg was so dedicated to his patients. We need more of him in healthcare today. He will never be forgotten.

Words can’t describe how I feel right now. I’ve known Dr. Glassberg since I was a little girl from my mom then he became my doctor at age 18.... He was the sweetest man I ever known. Always listened to me without judging me. He was kind, thorough and will be deeply missed.

It is with profound sadness that I learned last evening, of Larry's passing. In my early 20's, he became my physician. But, over the years in which he treated me, he became a story that I still tell people, now that I am 70. He took an afternoon off from his practice, to visit me at Greenwich Hospital where I practiced as an SLP. My son had been born and he wanted to visit and see him. After multiple miscarriages and the resulting emotional difficulties that plagued me prior to this 'success,' Larry listened attentively and with great compassion over several visits, and with his characteristic empathy and gentleness, directed me to counseling. That was in 1984 and it is illustrative of his caring coupled with his extensive knowledge that kept us all in good health.
I moved away and left his practice after some years but always remember him for his humor and grace. I will say your name daily as I walk through my gardens as a reminder of your gentle spirit.

I only learned today of Dr. Glassbergs passing and was shocked and saddened to hear the profoundly sad news. Dr. Glassberg was my primary care physician since I moved from Manhattan over 25 years ago, on the recommendation of another outstanding, compassionate physician, a friend that went to school with him, Dr. Robert Ascheim. Both these men were of the same caring, kind and professional nature that they must have shared during their medical school education. Dr. Glassberg could not have been more concerned about my health and overall well-being, notwithstanding the fact that I did not always follow his very sound advice (!) I will greatly miss his calm demeanor and fatherly presence. Dr. Glassberg was the definition of a wonderful bedside manner. My deepest sympathies to Dr. Glassbergs wife and family. I wish you all much strength during these very difficult days.

Its so difficult to find the words that could accurately describe how our family felt about Dr. Glassberg. He not only guided us through some difficult health issues for the past 30 years, but exhibited a sense of empathy and genuine concern that transcended his medical expertise. He was the epitome of a mensch in every sense of the word and we will truly miss him. Our deepest condolences to his family and the wonderful people who worked with him in Hartsdale.

I believe that my husband stuart Kessler. and I have been seeing Dr Glassberg as our internist for more than 50 years.
Dr Glassberg always exuded a deep
sense of calmness, kindness and gentleness. His words were always soft & unrushed. Its difficult for me to believe after all these years, hes really gone.
I am so sorry for your loss. I especially feel it because I went through a similar ordeal several. months ago when I lost my husband Of 63 years & now I am home in isolation with a touch of the dreaded virus.
May they both rest in peace,
Isabel Kessler

Dr Glassberg took care of my father from the early 70's to 1995. I am sure, that my father lived an additional 25 years and got to see his first grandchild because of Dr Glassberg's kind, compassionate and expert care. I really don't think I can improve upon the words that were in one of his obituaries, "He was a gentle giant whose love and service were pure." My sincere condolences to his family and all his patients.

My father and I were patients of Dr. Glassberg for many years. He will always be remembered by me, as a doctor with a true heart made of gold. We were so fortunate to have him as our primary doctor. He took great care of both of us. My dad lived long because of his care. He cared about each patient's health to the fullest and offered emotional support too. He will always be remembered and treasured in my heart. I am really very, very saddened by his sudden loss while caring for his patients.
A true doctor that gave his all and best to his patients. A doctor, I find that is irreplaceable. A doctor who was there for my dad and I ,and will never, ever be forgotten. For all who had him as their doctor he was a very special and dedicated doctor to his patients. May he rest in peace, knowing all he did for his patients will always be remembered by all who knew him. I am forever sadden by his sudden loss.
My Deepest Sympathy to his family.

What a loss of a wonderful man who was an expert doctor. I've been going to Hartsdale Medical, now Columbia Doctors, since the mid-1990s. I got to know Dr Glassberg over the years and feel a great loss at his passing, as though I lost a friend. He was thorough, compassionate and took an honest interest on explaining what you should and should not be doing regarding health matters and treatment. He will be greatly missed and condolences to his family.

I was devastated to hear of Dr. Glassberg's passing. He was an incredible doctor, caring, compassionate and always available when I needed him. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, such a painful loss.
April 15, 2020
My husband, son and I are so terribly saddened to hear of Dr. Glassberg's passing. Our son, Josh, who is now 36 years old, first saw Dr. Glassberg when he was a senior in high school. Dr. Glassberg treated him like all his adult patients with thorough testing. He had us take him for a echocardiogram at Westchester Medical Center. Dr. Glassberg had discovered a heart birth defect the pediatricians hadn't found. Within weeks, Josh had open heart surgery in NYC. At my last physical in 2019, I told Dr. Glassberg that Josh and his wife have a baby girl born last year. I once again, reminded him that we would all be eternally grateful that he saved Josh's life. As the beautiful comments of others have expressed, we feel a great loss for a kind, intelligent, wise mensch who was our physician. We send condolences to his family. His life truly was a life of service to so many. Suzanne, Richard and Josh Cohen

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Glassberg's passing. He was my father's cardiologist and internist for the last four years of his life and was my primary care physician since Dr. Cardillo retired in 2016. He was a dedicated, gentle and caring physician and we were fortunate to have him practiced in the Hartsdale and Westchester community in which he served. I will always be grateful for his steadfastness and devotion to his patients. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family and the entire staff at Columbia Doctors Group during this difficult time. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in eternal peace. - With deepest sympathy, Mark Ricci and Karen Ricci Berg

I'm at a loss for words. I found out recently about the passing of Dr. Glassberg. I was one of his first patients over 50 years ago. He was a gentle giant in my estimation, always available on short notice. I trusted his judgement. I'm deeply saddened. Approximately 2 months ago I asked him when was he planning to retire jokingly. He made it clear he wasn't ready. My condolences to Dr. Glassberg's family. He will be missed.

I am shocked and so deeply saddened by the loss of such a sweet, compassionate warm hearted man and extraordinary physician. Dr Glassberg has been our family physician for over 25 years. As a chiropractor I had my differences re our philosophical approaches to health, but I had always trusted his experienced, professional diagnostic ability, which was second to none. His warm hearted gentle approach was so real and was truly at the core of who he was... a great man whom lived to help and heal others. We all miss him and his memory will remain in our head and hearts forever, with much Love and condolences to the family, Alllan, Barbara, Alana and Lauren Weisberg.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr Glassberg. He has been my doctor for over 42 years. He was kind, soft spoken and always there for me. It was Dr Glassberg who sent me for an MRI when I described a minor symptom I had and called me immediately when he discovered I had brain cancer. He sent me to a wonderful surgeon, and I truly feel his guidance helped put me on the road to recovery. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his entire family.

I babysat for Dr. Glassbergs children and both he and his wife Irene were wonderful to me. Every time I ski Sugarbush, I remember a fun Christmas break skiing with the Glassbergs. Later, when I was an adult and my dad needed a cardiologist, it wasnt even a question that Dr. Glassberg was the right Doctor for him. He was the kindest of men. He loved his family and helping others. He will be missed. My condolences to Irene, Linda, Pam, Michael and the family.
