Dr. Khater delivered all three of my sons in 1970, 1975 & 1980. All my C-sections had issues and I was so blessed to have him as my doctor. He was funny and serious and always had his heart with his patients. I wish I would have kept in contact with him if only to stop by and say hello. Now he and his dear wife are together again. I have nothing but love and respect for this man and his mission in life. Condolences to his family.

Dr.Amin Khater may you Rest In Peace. Like others you delivered my sister and myself. When I was in school, I met your son Kevin, we would always laugh of all of the babies he delivered....I being one of them... you're now with your wife and may you enjoy eternal peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....❤❤❤

Dr. Khater stood by my side and made sure that my two high risk pregnancies ended with healthy babies being born.

Dr Khater delivered my youngest Son, and when I went in for a visit after no matter he would ask how is that His Son he delivered. His Wife had a Son around the time I had my Son, Dr Khater ask me if my Son was also going to be a Doctor, I said not sure depends if he wanted to, he couldn't believe my answer. He always said of course he would want to be a Doctor. He is a Mechanic like his Father. Dr Khater was the kindest Man, but very stern if you did not take care of yourself, you need your strength to take care of that Son. He often mentioned his Family and how lucky he was, he made the World a very good place to be. I feel I have lost a friend.
My condolences to his Family.

Dr. Khater was a wonderful man and friend. In the few months I got to know him, while caring for him, we developed a special bond. Every morning I would come to see him and he would get the biggest smile on his face. He was someone you knew genuinely cared for others. He taught me to be grateful for the people in our lives and to never go a day without telling them how much you love them. He showed me what strength is by preservering through pain and never giving up until he couldn't fight any longer. My heart has been touched by Dr. Khater and his sons. The family is a lovely group of people and I am glad I had the pleasure of working with them. My sincerest apologies to the family. You are all in my thoughts during this time of mourning.

We remember fondly the many times that our families share occasions over the formative years of our sons. I specifically recall a birthday dinner at Howard Johnson's which has often broke smiles to my face. To think that all four of those young lads end up with doctor degrees (although Patrick's is a PhD courtesy of China) May your lives continue to be blessed. Sally and Ray Woock

So sorry to hear of our loss. Dr. Khater delivered all my children and he really cared about them. He was the type of doctor that would help no matter what your problem was. He was so kind. He was a wonderful man.

What a wonderful man your father was! He delivered all four of my children. He was a very caring, compassionate doctor. I felt he was also my friend. We talked a lot about our families. We laughed together about raising boys! He was very proud of all three of his sons. I was always given the best treatment at Silver Cross Hospital because I was his patient, and because he worked very hard to ensure my comfort.
