Grateful former patient
December 18, 2024
He was the only psychiatrist I saw that treated me properly and I feel that he saved my life. I hadn't seen him because he was so brilliant and effective that I was not currently in need of treatment. I had just looked him up to thank him and let him know how good things have been and am very saddened. I hope his family sees this.

Dr. Cole was indeed one of a kind! He was as kind hearted and caring as one could be. Definitely so easy to talk with and enjoyable, becoming a friend to all he knew. Thank you Dr. Cole for your most valuable lessons you left behind...how to be a vessel of love.

I am so sad to learn of Stan's passing. He was the most caring and dedicated psychiatrist for our son, who was in his second month as a freshman at Tufts when he started seeing Stan. I would venture to say that without Stan I'm not sure he would have made it through his degree. I was so amazed to learn that Stan spent hours with him at a time, for the overwhelming fee of $25. Such a generous person he was, and fun, too, and quirky. One of a kind. We feel extremely lucky as parents to have crossed paths with him. And the world is poorer without him.

Dr Cole saw me practically for free when I was having a very hard time. He dug me out of a big hole. I'll never stop being grateful.

Dr. Cole will be so missed. In a time of need, his support was a bright light that eased our worries and challenges. His quick dedication to help, kindness in interaction, and genuine love for others was so clear and made a difference in our lives.

My husband John was a patient of Dr. Cole's for over 30 years. He knew John the best and he was a good friend to both John and myself. He was such a good care giver to John. I cannot begin to say what a wonderful clinician Dr. Cole. John was very lucky to have Dr. Cole as his doctor and a friend. I also grew to know him well just by the care he gave John. Dr Cole you will be missed so much. Prayers for his wife, son, daughter and his grandsons.

We were devastated to hear the news of Dr. Cole´s passing. We have been blessed to know Dr. Cole for decades! His compassion, humor, caring, and kindness will be missed. I pray his family finds comfort in knowing their husband, dad, and grandpa helped so many navigate their way through difficult and painful times in their lives. He will be missed by so many. Our deepest condolences.

This news floored me. I´ve been a patient of Dr. Cole for close to 5yrs now and I will never forget the help he gave me. When I walked into his basement office in Davis Sq I felt so at peace. Here I was a big burly construction worker sitting on his couch in tears, wondering if there would ever be hope for me again. He helped me thru that hard time and as the number of our appointments grew so did a friendship. We were very similar in a lot of ways and I think that surprised us both! I don´t think I ever had a scheduled 1hr appointment that didn´t go on for closer to 2hrs! He was witty, quick, and could talk with you about a thing. He had that gift that made him easily trusted, easy to talk to about anything at all, and also someone I wouldn´t have minded talking with over a beer. He was privy to most subjects and if he wasn´t he´d stop u mid-sentence and make u explain exactly what it was you were referring to before allowing you to finish your story. We took a fast liking to one another and I truly feel I´ve lost a friend. I hope you are finally feeling 100%...u deserve it Dr. Cole. My hearts and thoughts go out to your family lat this time. Until we meet again Doc. Thank you.

To Dr. Stanley Cole's family,
My heartfelt condolences for your loss. I was under Dr. Cole's care for over three years, and his guidance during that period profoundly impacted my life.
Dr. Cole was more than just a psychiatrist and a talented psychopharmacologist; he was a kind man who embodied compassion, wisdom, and understanding. His dedication was unmatched when it came to supporting his patients, whom he treated with respect and dignity. I will never forget our exchanges of humor related to travel and culture, and his pure love for music and the arts. He was as funny as he was brilliant, always managing to make me smile when I was down.
Dr. Cole's impact on my life is immeasurable. That is likely the same for the many he shepherded through challenging times. His lessons and healing will forever be a part of me. Most importantly, Dr. Cole´s legacy as a transformative force and compassionate soul will forever live on through his patients, colleagues, friends, and family.
With deepest sympathy and enduring gratitude,
Eric

He was my doctor and my good friend. He diagnosed me, decades ago. In recent years, I was having trouble and reached out to him for his wisdom. It was like no time had passed at all. He was a good man. A brilliant, off beat doctor, we did bump heads (oh, those early years!). But he walked the depression and anxiety journey with me, never letting me give up on myself and also never stopped believing in me. He was so proud of his family, and loved them dearly. Dr Cole, my heart is broken tonight....what am I going to do without you to give me advice? In your memory, I promise I won't give up. I'll keep fighting the good fight, as I know you'd want me to. God bless you for tolerating and helping me. Rest in peace, my doctor and friend.
