I just found out that Dr. Eggnatz passed away. He was such a great dentist! So kind & caring, that I was sad when I turned 18 & could no longer go to him. To the entire Eggnatz family, I am so sorry for your loss.

what a kind, wonderful man... I never minded riding my bike to his office to see him! He and my dad (retired oral surgeon Fred Novak) cross - referred for many years and dad always spoke admiringly of Dr. Eggnatz. What an amazing legacy he leaves, both professionally and personally... he will never be forgotten...

As a classmate who admired Lee in dental school, I was saddened to learn today of his passing. And it was always a pleasure as a fellow Florida dentist to see him from time to time at state dental meetings. My sincere condolences are extended to his family, and he will be remembered in my prayers.

Uncle Lee was one of the kindest men that I ever met. Because of him, I never had a phobia about going to the dentist! I will always remember the excitement of visiting the toy chest in his office after an exam. Uncle Lee was always very gentle and very kind with a smile as big as his heart. My condolences to your family, I know that you will miss him dearly.
