I would have to say without a doubt Dr. Wandry saved my life. I was in the VA system, dosed up with a bunch of meds (that turned out to be incorrect) and ended up wanted to end it all. I went to Phx VA ER to perhaps avert this, and low and behold, Dr. Wandry was the Doc on call. Long story short, he figured out my meds were killing me, worked with me, and was a great doctor for several years. He is sorely missed. Thank God for Geoff Wandry.

I just received a letter from the VA notifying me of Dr. Wandry's passing. I feel for his family and his co-workers, he meant a great deal to me as I deal with my personal demons. I can only say God bless and God speed good Dr., you will be missed.

I worked with Dr. Wandry at the SWBH Urgent care on Thomas Rd in Phoenix. He was one of the easiest doctors to work with, and always doing a great job with our psych patients. I have nothing but fond memories of him. I was sorry to hear of his passing.

I worked with Dr. Wandry at ComCare as he was the doctor for the team I supervised. He was great to work with and really did a wonderful job with his patients. I was so sorry to learn about his passing. He will be missed by the behavioral health community.

I worked with Dr. Wandry as a case manager about 10 years ago and was impressed by his down-to-earth style and his great sense of humor. He was part of my decision to go to medical school and become a psychiatrist myself. His passing is a great loss to his patients and coworkers as well as his family.

Energetic. A good speaker. He use to make his point with humorous remarks. Very effective (even if sometimes not repeatable). Goodbye old fellow.

Doc coached our adult softball team back in the late 70's. We had a lot of fun back then. I was really sorry to hear that he passed away. I have special memories of him. He will be missed.

Geoff Wandry was a truly unique and wonderful human being. Everyone who knew him admired him professionally and loved him as a person. We were a pretty close group when he worked at Milwaukee County - some great memories of those times - especially his smile and his laugh.

I am very sorry to learn of Doc Wandry's passing. I knew him when I worked at VA Hospital.

Geoff Wandry was one of the finest psychiatrists I have met. I worked with him while he was in Milwaukee and had tremendous respect for his ability. He was a free spirit, and full of fun. I have told many people about him because of all his good qualities. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a son, brother, friend is so very difficult. And someone as special as Geoff makes it even harder to bear. I will keep Geoff and all of you, his family and friends in my prayers. God is surely with all of you in your grief.

Hey Doc,

I was shocked to hear of your passing. I fell into your care after a suicide attempt in April '07. The way you constantly shook your legs put me at ease in a funny way. I knew I was in culpable and caring hands. Thank you for your care and compassion. You have been in my thoughts lately. RIP

Dr Wandry was by far the best DOC my brother ever had at the VA. His passing, will certainly leave a void. Our prayers are with the family.
