Can't believe Sina has now been gone for 3 years. Such an intelligent, kind and caring friend. He was a very special member of our Junior Year in France group, and many years later our paths crossed from time to time in NYC or New Jersey. He continues to live in our hearts! Also have fond memories of meeting his parents and Beyhan. I think of him every time I pass his house in Mountain Lakes on my way to the YMCA for cardiac rehab. Left us all way too soon.

Sina was my Senior Year roommate after we returned from studying in France. He was incredibly devoted to his studies and he did a lot of "all-nighters" gettng ready for examinations. We stayed friends. I remember attending a John Lennon and a blues concert with him. He visited my family home and my parents and siblings enjoyed his company. We stayed friends over the years, seeing one another about every 5 years, often at Rutgers University reunions. Sina was a wonderful person. He lives forever in our hearts. He is in Paradise.

Dr. Zaim was one of my favorite doctors, and I will always miss him. I’ve had many many doctors in my life, but really only a few stand out as caring, kind and compassionate - certainly Dr. Zaim is a member of that rare group. I always enjoyed our conversations when I visited his office, and he always inquired about some of my interests and activities during my visit. My condolences to his friends and loved ones.

We are so broken hearted to hear of Dr. Zaim's passing. He was the beloved doctor of my husband. He gave us hope when we were given a meek diagnosis when my husband was 36 years old but unlike other doctors, Dr. Zaim was positive and I believe my husband is still alive because of his wonderful care. My husband will now turn 50 years old this month and is doing pretty well considering. We will miss you Dr.Zaim. Our deepest condolences to his family.

e are so shocked to hear of Dr. Zaim's passing. He was my husband's doctor. He was so positive and wonderful with my husband and I believe that he is one of the reasons my husband is still alive and pretty well. We are heartbroken. Rest in peace Dr. Zaim we will miss you so much!

Im so heartbroken to have learned that Dr. Zaim has passed away. Every so often, we meet those very special doctors that brighten our lives. Dr. Zaim was one of those doctors. Ill always remember and cherish the conversations Dr. Zaim and I had during my visit. He was compassionate, and truly enjoyed the work he did. He took his time to listen. His tone of voice was always calm and reassuring. Dr. Zaim, the lights in your office may be out, but your legacy will always be bright! You are missed tremendously! Rest In Peace .....

Sina, my old friend, I remembrer our time at Lausanne Medical School. We met in Les Falaises studying hard and we remained closely linked through the love of our vocation. We also loves Music, especially electric music. Blues and rock could alternatively arouse interest, but we enjoyed Classic, too, or even medieval music in the old church of Valère in Sion or ottoman music in Istanbul. Many things found interest in your widely opened mind and sensitive soul. Now let me be inspired by all you gave us generously : your friendship, your kindness every time we met and your deep sense of Humanity.

Dr. Zaim was one of the most compassionate physicians I have had the pleasure of working with. I worked with him at UMDNJ for many years he was always willing to teach and made the EP lab a learning environment as well as a fun place to work. He will be missed by so many ❤

Il y a tout juste une année, nous passions ensemble quelques jours durant lesquels il nous faisait découvrir New York et le New Jersey. Nous revivions en cette occasion les heureux souvenirs de nos études de médecine à lUniversité de Lausanne, à la fin des années 70.
La nouvelle de sa disparition nous a cruellement touchés alors que quelques jours auparavant, nous échangions encore des messages dans lesquels il nous relatait lintensité du travail quil accomplissait aux soins intensifs dans le cadre de la lutte contre cette terrible pandémie.
Le virus nous a arraché trop tôt un ami cher qui, dans lexercice de la médecine, se dévouait sans compter à ses patients. Nous garderons toujours dans nos curs le souvenir de sa gentillesse et de son amitié fidèle.
Nos sincères condoléances à tous ses proches.

I am extremely saddened to learn of Sina's passing. He was such a wonderful, caring and kind person. I had the honor and pleasure of maintaining his cherished guitar collection. We would talk at great length about all things guitar and music. He truly loved it and It made him feel like a kid again. Last we spoke he was so much looking forward to playing the guitars we were currently preparing for him. He sounded positive and strong and told me he was doing what he had to do and I'm sure he gave those patients 110%. Rest in Peace Dear Friend

Dr Zaim was dedicated teacher, kind human and compassionate physician. I have such fond memories of him. He always took out time out of his busy schedule to teach the fellows. He will surely be missed by his students, colleagues and patients alike. Rest In Peace.

Dr Ziam saved my mothers life. She will be 90 years old in July. He was gentle, caring and compassionate. EVERYTHING a doctor should be. And he spoke to us like people. Like he truly cared - because he DID. We just found out today about his passing . We cried like he was a true friend or family member. May he rest in the sweetest peace. My condolences to his family.

I met Sina's younger sister, Beyhan, in college, and we have been friends ever since. I had been a life-long runner, but suddenly, in my forties, I started to experience palpitations and breathlessness from what would have ordinarily been a mild running pace. I had no health insurance at the time, but Dr. Zaim was nice enough to take some of his valuable time to meet with me in his office, and diagnose my early symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation. At the time, he told me that my symptoms were mild, that no medications were required, and that my symptoms would only get worse over time, and eventually, I would either require surgery or drug therapies. He also recommended that I delay surgery for several years as the medical community perfected the surgical techniques (ablation). I followed his sage advice, eventually did get the ablation (I hated the thought of being on drugs for the rest of my life), and I have been fine ever since. God bless you, Dr. Zaim!

I was extremely sad to learn of Sina's passing. Sina trained in cardiac electrophysiology under my supervision at Massachusetts General Hospital during which time I had the opportunity to get to know him well. He was a caring and compassionate physician who worked hard to insure that his patients received the best possible care. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

My parents and I were deeply saddened by the news of Sinas passing. He was such a great person and he will live on in our memories forever. I will especially never forget our family dinners out and the Paul McCartney concert he took me. May he rest in peace. Isiklar icinde uyu Sina Amca, hep dualarimda olacaksin.

I have fond memories of Sina who was a classmate of mine during a wonderful Junior Year Abroad in France (academic year 1971-1972). He was very special and an integral part of a great group of people who have stayed in touch for decades. I am very saddened by his loss. In Judaism, we believe that those who pass continue to live on in the hearts of those to whom they were dear. Clearly Sina will live on in the hearts and minds of his family, friends and colleagues.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Sina Zaim. I still can't believe that I won't see him again. Dr. Zaim was my EP doctor, he literally saved my life after I was told by so many doctors that there was nothing wrong with my heart. I loved how Dr. Zaim took his time to research my health concerns. He was always so caring and thoughtful, a remarkable doctor. He was a wonderful person, my HERO! The world lost a great human being. Rest in Peace

Sina was a gentleman with a kind-hearted soul. He was one of the greatest influences on me to also pursue a career in medicine. He was my friend and mentor while I was a medical student in Philadelphia. Although our paths had subsequently separated, we were able to keep in touch over the years. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to his family. The world is a truly a sadder place without him.

Dr Zaim was on my attendings @ UMDNJ-UH when I was a fellow from 2004-2007. I am heartbroken that he passed away of COVID related complications. He was an excellent teacher and I still remember lessons he taught me to this day.

I worked with Dr Zaim very closely, doing Tilt Table tests on the regular. He was always pleasant, always very sincere and always willing to pass on his intelligence to others. I always looked forward to spending the hour chatting with him. I am so saddened to hear that he is gone. Forever in my heart ❤

At first he was one of my teachers but later became a colleague and a friend. When he first came to UH, I was having a hard time on the wards (not unusual for an intern/resident). He sat down with me multiple times and we talked about life, medicine, cases. He gave me advice and kept me grounded at a time I really needed it. Later Sina and I became colleagues and friends and would call or consult each other for problems our patients were having. I will not soon forget him. This is a major loss loss that is hitting me personally and it hurts. Sina Zaim will be missed.

We learned of our dear classmates recent passing this afternoon with great shock and grief. I am writing as a classmate of Sinas from our Rutgers Junior Year in France. About a dozen of us gathered last fall to enjoy a reunion luncheon and we were all so happy that Sina joined us after so many years apart. We were all classmates nearly 50 years ago and all have a strong bond from our year together. We have all shared wonderful memories of Sina and I would like his family to know that we all have the best memories of a wonderful human being who was a true and caring friend to each of us. It is with our sincerest condolences to his family that we hope that you will know that Sina was both loved and respected by all of us. Our hearts go out to all of you as you mourn the loss of a special son, brother, uncle and a true friend.

I had the privilege to meet Sina back in 1971 during our study abroad year in Tours, France. We had a group reunion lunch last fall in New Jersey and I had the chance to catch up on his interesting life. So sad to think that will be the last time we can chat. He was a kind, smart man who will be missed by all his Rutgers Junior Year Abroad friends among countless others.

Dr. Zaim had a heart of gold. He always had great stories to tell during our EP cases and often reminded the staff at HUMC how much he enjoyed working with us. He was a kind, down to earth physician who truly enjoyed taking care of his patients. Our EP Family will miss working with him and our hearts are broken. Sending deepest condolences to his loved ones. We were all lucky to have known Sina Zaim, MD.

Ive worked with Dr Zaim for over 20 years. Ive had to pleasure to have him as a customer and friend for all those years. He is truly a genuine human being who was passionate about caring for his patients and his parents. He always wanted to know about my life and shared personal stories about his. I will always miss him and our friendship and I will always remember him fondly for the man that he was.

Had it not been for Rutgers Junior Year in Tours (France), I would probably have never met Sina, and my life would have been less rich. His smile, his kindness, his patience, his open-mindedness are gifts that he shared unstintingly. There was no one in the group who didn't love Sina, and that says a lot. Fortunately, we remained in touch at regular intervals over the years, allowing us to keep our connections fresh. We had such a happy time together last October, little imagining what lay ahead. I give thanks for having known Sina. May the memory of his goodness bring light to our lives even as we mourn.

What an amazing and unique human being. He helped others until the very end. He was like a father to me and we all deeply loved him. He adored his travels to Switzerland and we loved it too when he was here. It was always the best time of the year. I am so grateful for having had him in my life since I was born. He will never be forgotten and I will keep carrying him in my heart until we meet again.

Dr. Zaim will be missed. Ive spent many of hours working along side this wonderful man. He was truly a humanitarian. Dr. Zaim cared deeply for his patients and always had their best interest in mind. He loved good food, good wine and travel. Neither of us are very handy but we managed to hang not 1 but 2 televisions on his walls. It was comical. You will be missed my friend.

I spoke to him in early April and told him how heroic I felt he was in practicing Critical Care Medicine during the early days of the Covid pandemic. Mere words cannot assuage the loss of Sina..my only hope is the cherished memories and the shared and treasured time and moments sustain his family during this difficult time. My deepest sympathies.
