So very sorry to hear of his passing. I was honored to have know him and spend time with him in the operating room at FMC. We constantly were matching wits and humor but he always got the best of me. He will be missed by so many. i still have the joke books that he wrote and Marci illustrated. My children loved them and would retell his jokes to their friends! He will truly be missed. An excellent surgeon and wonderful person!

I am shocked and saddened about learning of Dr. Gorenstein's death. I had the privilege of getting to know him through Fairfield Medical Center. He was a brilliant, creative, and humorous man, yet remained humble.
I recall the smile on his face when sharing stories behind his photography when vacationing with his family, whom he loved deeply.
May he rest in peace, and may his family find solace in the memories they made together.

I so enjoyed working with Dr Gorenstein at the Pavilion at Fairfield Medical Center. He always had an amusing story to tell! I will so miss his smiling face and joking nature!
