Over the last few years Dr. Engel served as my Primary Care Physician. Humble, unassuming and amazingly efficient his knowledge, experience and wisdom were of the highest calibre. While he clearly lived a full and enormously productive life his passing was way too soon. I have been deeply saddened with his loss and extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

"Dr. Engel was my doctor for 22 years. His relaxed, caring manner was something I could always count on when needing to see him or having my physical. We have lost a fine physician and person!"
