Dr. Ta was an amazing Doctor! There aren't enough words to express the great loss. Sadly, I just stumbled upon hearing of his passing.
Mary, you were also a huge part of helping me get my life back.
Love you both from the bottom of my heart. I'm sure the dogs were waiting to see him again.

I´m so very sorry to learn of Dr. Ta´s passing. I called today to make an appt and was shocked to find out office was disconnected. He has been my Dr. for many years. His love for dogs told me all I needed to know about his compassion. Prayers to his family and staff

So very sorry to hear of Dr Ta´s passing. Very compassionate and down to earth human. Was able to help myself and my daughter. Moved to North Carolina 5 years ago and jokingly told him he had to come with me. Wonderful doctor, my condolences to Mary and all the staff at Midwest.

What a shock to hear of Dr Ta´s passing, he had a profound effect on my life. Shared many stories with him on Vietnam and my time in the Marines,and come to find out how he escaped to the U.S. and came to this great country. I. Will miss him first as a great and caring human being and then as a doctor who has saved me. My condolences to Mary who I also shared time with during my office visits , and to the staff at Midwest . God blessings to you all in this very difficult time.You cannot replace Dr Ta, but we can rejoice he is at peace in heaven! John Aister

I also, am greatly saddened at the news of Dr. Ta's passing. He was truly a dedicated and kind, compassionate human.
He was my mother's doctor, and I saw him a few times myself.
He confirmed a very difficult decision I was leaning toward making, regarding removing my mother from the nursing home, and bringing her home, with hospice support, so that she could die with love and dignity. He looked at her chart and simply said to me, that were she his mother, that's what he would do. Such a comfort to know his opinion.
He will definitely be missed by many. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Dr. Ta was my neurologist for almost 30 years. I just heard of his passing this morning. I am in a state of shock. I always looked forward to seeing him because of his gentle manner and friendly demeanor. He loved dogs as I do. I have not only lost a doctor, I have lost a good friend, one who always took care of me and I shall miss him greatly. My condolences to the family, especially Mary who is also a good friend. May he Rest in Peace. I am lost right now. This will take awhile to set in. It is never easy to lose someone who has helped you for so many years.

I am deeply saddened by Dr. Ta's untimely passing. He was my doctor for over 20 years, and I truly feel he saved my life! He and his staff, especially Mary, became more like friends than healthcare support, and they made going to the doctor actually fun (especially when the dogs were there)! I cannot say enough about how much I valued Dr. Ta and Mary as part of my life, and I send my prayers for comfort to the entire family. God bless all of you.

I am still in shock and denial to hear the passing of Dr. Ta. Very sad news to lose someone so humble, kind and caring individual. I always have had very high respect for him since I met him first time more than 20 years ago.
May God give courage to Mary and her all family members to go through this tough time.

I was shocked to hear of Dr. Ta's passing! We moved from the Quad Cities to this area in 2021, so this is how long I was a patient of his. I had been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia before the move. TN is an excruciating disease, so I was so appreciative of his consideration and kindness! I loved Dr. Ta so much! He was so kind to me! I will never forget his sweet spirit! I'm afraid that he will be so difficult to replace as a neurologist! I will always remember him!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sharon Kirkham

I owe my past 20 years to Dr Ta. My MS was very advanced, unbeknownst to me, and without his guidance I'm not sure what my life would have been. He kept me active and working. I enjoyed talking to him and his genuine curiosity whether it be for medicine, or rebuilding his motor home or questions about fixing appliances. I will miss him deeply

My Love to Mary and her family
