Dr. ELHilali was probably one of the best doctors I have ever had . He was so kind , compassionate , caring and above all - so very professional and extremely thorough .
I shall miss my annual visits to Dr. Moe as I affectionately called him.
The world has lost a wonderful and truly great human being .... rest in peace Dr. Moe ... indeed you have earned it .

I did an elective this year in Urology at McGill, and I was honoured to learn from Dr. Elhilali, who was a role model for every one at the Urology department. May his soul rest in peace

Dr Elhilai treated my handicapped son, Neil, in the 1970's during his time at Sherbrooke. He was a man of great compassion and skill. He changed Neil's life, permanently, for the better, and we as a family will always be grateful.
I believe that he was a great humanist, a generous person, and an example of the best in his profession.

My condolences. Professor Elhilali was a great teacher, researcher, adminstrator, doctor and influence to many physicians who trained under him. While word may travel slow here on the West Coast, his influence is felt worldwide.

Dearest Family and Cynthia of Dr Elhilali,
My Late dad Lewis Lutter was a patient of Dr Elhilali over a twenty year period . He was a Prince of a man. An academic, a researcher ,a clinician / surgeion of extraordinary ability who cared deeply about his patients. He was everything Medicine was meant to be .Each time we left his office we thought to ourselves what a privelge it was to be his patient. It is a monumental loss to the medical community , to his patients and most of all to his family whom I am sure he meant the world . To Cynthia . A dear, old friend of Howard and I , our deepest sympathies to you. May you find a measure of strength and comfort in the memories you shared and the beautiful legacy he left behind.
