Our Dearest Dr. Michael...Not only were you our friend but you were our doctor also. You took care of me when I broke my collar bone and our son, Peter, when he broke his ankle. You were the most compassionate and loving person with a wonderful sense of humor. We look forward to the day when we all meet in heaven and you will have your handkerchief ready to lead us in the dance. I am so glad we had the chance to dance together at Diana's wedding. What fun we had. We love you and will miss you until that day when we will all be together in heaven. Our prayers are with the whole family that we love so much. God be with all of you. All of Our Love, Toni & Joe

My condolences to all who loved Dr Soojian...family, staff, friends, patients too, like me. He was a man of uncommon humanity and compassion whose concern for a patient extended beyond orthopedics to the whole person. He helped me immeasurably and I will miss him very very much. I know God has a very special place for him...he was one's of God's great gentlemen.

Dear Michael,
I turned around and you were gone.
I so much miss our personal and professional relatioship. We shared many laughs together. I appreciate all that you have done for my family and me especially for "your boy Vincent". I just worry that he isn't eating lunch anymore without his buddy Doc.
Now it's time for us to be there for Dee and your family. As per Dee "she knows where to find me".
'Till we meet again and I'm sure we will. I love you and miss you my good friend.

I am truly saddened to learn of Dr. Soojian's passing. As a childhood friend to his son Marc, Dr. Soojian always welcomed me into his home and made me feel like I was part of the family. My deepest sympathies to the entire Soojian family.

Dr Soojian while being one of the finest doctors that I have ever know, he was also one of the kindest and caring individuals. His surgical skills were only surpassed by his compassion for his patients. He was more than my doctor, Mike was my friend who was always there for me and my family. We will miss him so much. My prayers go out for him and his family.

Our most deepest sympathy on the loss of one so special. The medical field has lost one of its greatest assets. Dr. Soojian will truly be missed. His care and concern for his patients was seen in each office visit, whether it was an orthopedic matter or not. He took an interest in his patients and their families too. His love of his own family was very evident when he would speak of them. He touched many lives with his compassion and his keen knowledge. We were blessed to know him not only as a doctor, but the caring and loving and humorous person he was. Dr. Soojian truly made a difference. He will remain in our hearts. Deepest, deepest sympathy and love and prayers.

Dr. soojian was not only a great human being , he was also the greatest boss. He always made his office a wonderful place to be. In the 10 years I worked for him as his x-ray tech I can't remember a day that went by without him saying something that would make me laugh hysterically.He made coming in to the office fun. Although we are sad and shedding many tears,I know you are up in heaven making everyone smile Rest in Peace. Love Eve

MY THOUGHTS GO OUT TO THE SOOJIAN FAMILY. I WORKED FOR MANY YEARS WITH DR SOOJIAN AT GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL ON THE ORTHO FLOOR. HE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DOCTORS. I'VE MOVED AWAY FROM LONG ISLAND BUT WAS NOTIFIED BY A FRIEND OF HIS PASSING. HE WILL BE MISSED.

Dr. Soojian was a gentle, considerate, concerned dr. He will be sorely missed by all who had an opportunity to meet him. His love for medicine and his concern for his patients were truly a gift. He was a true family man, who professed his love for his sister, Barbara (BABE) and the staff. I can still hear him call for BABE. She always came running. My prayers go out to each one of you (his wife, family, staff and friends) and whoever was blessed to meet up with DR. S. I know that God has a special place for him. God bless you Dr. Soojian and may you rest in peace!

Dr Soojian was one of the kindest, gentlest, warmest human beings that I have ever had the priviledge to know and work beside. My family had him as a Dr. as well over the course of many years. He was a wonderful doctor. I would know. I worked with him for many years at Good Samaritan Hospital. He never failed to make me laugh. I would like to extend my warmest sympathies to his loving family. May God bless you all. I know Dr.Soojian is smiling down on all of us.
