Dr. Sohn was my family's pediatrician dating back to 1964. He took care of me and my brothers and sisters until we were too old to be treated by a ped! He made enough of an impression on me that I chose he and Dr. Cirotti to take care of my now thirteen year old daughter .
As in the 60's and 70's he was always accurate with the "lips to the forehead " method of taking childrens' temperatures. I still smile at that memory...
He was an old fashioned doctor and much loved by all. My mother tells me he even made house calls when I was a very sick baby...no surprise.. My family mourns his passing.

Dr. Sohn was one of the many wonderful pediatricians at North Willow Grove who we saw after my son was born 2 years ago. He was wonderful; easing the very scary world of parenting for a new mother. He was also gentle and kind with my son. My deepest sympathies

Such sad news! Dr. Sohn (and Dr. Cirotti) were my first doctors when I was a kid. My mom always told me the story about how I once hid under the table during one of my first visits and Dr. Sohn got on the floor and did the whole exam under the table! He was a nice man, a great person and will be missed.

Dr. Sohn was the pediatrician for all of my eight children. He was such a caring person and so wonderful with the children. Our deepest sympathy on this tremedous loss.

Dr Sohn cared for my children in the 70s and 80s. He came into the office more than once in the middle of the night to see to an asthmatic child. He was compassionate and caring. We mourn his death with you.

We are truly saddened to learn of the passing of our family's 1st pediatrician (almost 39 years ago!). In addition to being a wonderful diagnostician, and more importantly, a very caring doctor, he was a unique personality the likes of which do not come along very much any more. May the memories of the special person that he was comfort your family as you mourn his loss.
