Henry F. Bellaci MD, FACC

I´ve been blessed to know Henry, as in fortunate and actually "blessed". Henry gave me his "blessed by the Pope" scapular that he personally carried with him for years. He gave it to me saying: "You´ll need this more than me"., as I was embarking upon a cure for heart disease and He thought I might ultimately be in danger if I were successful. I have carried that scapular in my pocket every day since he blessed me with it nearly 25 years ago. It nwas a daily blessing and I thought of my great friend Henry every day. We were good friends and a pair of terrible golfers as well.....weekly terrorizing golf courses all over Palm Springs, Palm Desert & Rancho Mirage.....no place was safe on the courses when we were there......flying errant golf balls at high speed into different fairways and sometimes even in ours. As buddies, we laughed almost constantly. We shared family holidays....we were close. I cherished our friendship and remember our times....Love you brother. See you on the other side. You get the tee time this time OK? ~Gary

Dr. Bellaci was a superb doctor and super person. He helped my mother Mary, who lived at Ironwood Country Club, on her cardio issues and his personality made her look forward to the appointments! His office was very unique. It looked like an actual person worked there, and of course Dr. Bellaci was an actual -- and very unique -- person. I just learned of his death. It was VERY sad news even after all these years.

I remembered Dr.Bellaci tonite from working with him at Eden hospital many years ago. I was sad to see that he is no longer with us. He was an impressive physician, brilliant and so kind, very egalitarian and personable. I remembered taking an astronomy class once at Chabot college and he and his wife also attended I believe. It was a lot of fun hearing his comments and I never forgot him. Condolences to his family.

I just found out about the passing of Dr. Bellaci. He was the very best doctor ever. May his soul Rest In Peace. My sincere condolences to his family

Jeanette, you know that no words can convey my sorrow at his passing.
Deepest condolences to you and all who, like me, miss him.
His friendship and yours was a light during dark times for me, and for that I shall be forever grateful

I loved this man. He was my doctor for several years when I came to the desert. He was so friendly and warm and smart. My boyfriend also had him for his doctor and felt the same as I do. He was just an outstanding human being and a wonderful doctor. God Bless him, may be rest in peace!

Dr Bellaci served as my husbands cardiologist from 2006 to 2011. He was an amazing and wonderful human being. He attended a small celebration of life ceremony for Alan when he passed at our home. He had a great relationship with both of us throughout treatment going to the mat to help us throughout. Belated condolences to his wife and family. Somewhere out there in the ethers his great soul is manifesting light and goodness.

Dr. Bellaci was my husband's Dr in Castro Valley in 1983 when he faced a serious cardiac issue at a young age. Today, I looked to see if he was still practicing. With great sadness, I find he passed away this past year. Ironically, he was just a few years older than my husband. He was the most caring, sincere doctor we have encountered. We wanted to let his family know what a tremendous difference he made to so many!! We have lived in Maryland for 30 years and are blessed to have known such a fine man.

I was his receptionist in the early 2000's at LACA. I am sad to find out that he past away. I take away great memories of this awesome human being, never have I met such a caring doctor with his patience. I am glad to have briefly worked for him. I give my condolences to his family.

May he rest in peace,

God Bless you. It was a privilege to work with you at DOHC.

My condolences to Jeanette. We worked together in the late 1990's and early 2000's at Desert Medical Group. She was kind enough to lend me a crib for my grandson, an infant, to use while he and my daughter were visiting from San Francisco years ago....that grandchild is now in the air force. I am sorry for the family's loss and send blessings to the family at this difficult time. Sally Martin, (RN/Retired), La Quinta.

My husband Bob Arthur was a patient of Dr. Bellaci for several years. He always enjoyed talking to him. Dr. Bellaci was a gentle man. Bob respected him so very much.
May he rest in peace. My condolences.
