My sincere condolences to the family of Dr Kohorn as I am sure he will be sadly missed.
I am so grateful to send this message about how Dr Kohorn affected my life. In 1976, I was diagnosed with a molar pregnancy, that had it occurred 10 years earlier would have meant a full hysterectomy; 20 years earlier, I may not have survived. Dr Kohorn was extraordinarily compassionate, caring, talking to me like I was a family member. I was only 23 years old and the chemotherapy left me weak, depressed, and devastated. One day, I packed a suitcase to take to my appointment with Dr Kohorn. I was convinced that I needed to be admitted to the hospital. I just didn't feel like myself at all. But upon leaving his office, I was energized and so encouraged by him.
I will never, ever forget him, for what he did to help me recover from such a demoralizing and devastating diagnosis. I went on to have two more healthy pregnancies, thanks to the encouragement I received from Dr Kohorn, to get pregnant again. Two more daughters: age 40, who has 2 children; the other daughter would have been 43 this year, but she passed away in 2020 from covid. God bless
Dr Kohorn and his good work. May he enjoy a special place in heaven ([email protected]).

Ernest and Margot were a unique, loving couple. From their many kindnesses in Otter Cliff to Ernest´s superior leadership in CAAS, our lives were greatly enriched by him.
Our condolences to his family.

Over 40 years ago Dr. Kohorn treated my mother when she had uterine cancer. She lived to be 94 and always spoke about how wonderful Dr. Kohorn was to her. I also met him during his treatment of my mother and he was kind and extremely helpful to our family. I only wish all medical professionals were like Dr. Kohorn. He lived a great life.
