25 years ago, Dr. Larson performed a spinal lamenectomy on me at the young age of 18. I'm thankful for everything he did for me and my family so that I'm healthy and fit today! He was a wonderful gentleman.

I was fortunate to have worked with Dr. Larson on the old 9 E-W unit of MCGH. His respect of the nursing staff, patients, and doctors in his department made our department a special place. My condolences go out to his family and friends. His legacy lives on in the people he influenced.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Larson at the old Neuro Unit at County--it was amazing what we did with the limited resources "way back then". He was a great person and a great doctor.
