GARY WEISSMAN Obituary
The physicians and staff of ProHEALTH mourn the passing of our friend and colleague, Dr. Gary Weissman. Besides being an extraordinary Gastroenterologist, he served as our Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Weissman was one of those rare physicians, meeting the needs of the whole patient and their family. In recent years he extended his expertise, and desire to transform Healthcare onto a national platform through his work with Optum. He was a guiding force, a bright light and will be missed dearly.

I had just googled Gary's name to see if he was still practicing and was extremely sad to learning of his early passing. Gary was my chief resident at North Shore many years ago and I still remember his fair and excellent leadership he displayed in that role. May his memory be for good .

I have been a patient of Dr Weissman's since 2008 when I was extremely ill with a gastric bacteria. He was highly recommended by family. I met with Dr. Weissman and instantly trusted him to care for me. Although I only met with him about 4 times in the past 9 years he was one of my favorite doctors. He was kind, personable, compassionate and brilliant. I called the office yesterday to make an appointment for a colonoscopy which one would normally not look forward to getting, but I actually was looking forward to see Dr Weissman. When I found out that he had passed I literally had tears in my eyes. I was shocked to say the least. My deepest condolenses to Dr. Gary Weissman's family. The world lost a mench.

I learned with great sadness earlier today of the passing of Dr. Weissman during a medical visit at ProHealth Gastroenterology. I was shocked & immediately burst into tears as I couldn't believe it was so.
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Weissman since 1992. During that time, both Dr. Weissman & Dr. McKinley had
their office of Gastroenterology at North Shore Hospital. When I first met Dr. Weissman, I immediately liked him. He had the greatest personality. Over the years, Dr. Weissman would call us directly to give us the results of my tests,. Ask us how we were feeling, etc. He never had his secretary make the phone call. How many doctors do that today?! Dr. Weissman was a real up and positive person. He would always say we will be okay.
Not to worry. He was a brilliant &
outstanding doctor. He was a kind, caring & wonderful person. There will never be a doctor like
Dr. Weissman. He was special and unique. Our sincere condolences go out to the Weissman family. Rest In Peace Dr. Weissman. We will never forget you and will miss you.

Today I learned of Dr Weisman' s passing from my PCP. I was shocked, saddened and could not prevent the tears that fell. I respected Dr Weissman and during the time he was ill and not seeing patients I would not go to anyone else. I waited for him to return for one reason.......I Trusted Him.
There are no words to take away the pain and loss his family feels. I just hope they know that Dr Gary Weissman was a man greatly respected, trusted and loved by many.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of a great guy.

I heard about Gary's passing through our mutual friend, Mitchell Goldstein. I learned about Gary's illness several years ago and we had exchanged e-mails reminiscing about our childhood in Lindenwood, and what had transpired during the 50+ years that we had not communicated with one another. I had considered Gary my best friend during elementary school, and always saw him as a good, kind-hearted, hardworking, and smart individual. Based on his life's profession and hearing about his wonderful family and accomplishments it is easy to comprehend that the ..."child is father to the man." I extend my dcondolences to his entire family.

I too did my Internship and Residency with Gary at NSUH 1976-1979. Rarely do you meet a person who was as honest, competent, intelligent and genuine as Gary. Sadly there is virtually nothing that can be said to console Susan and her children. The world is really a poorer place.

I just found out about the passing of Dr. Weissman while reading the New York Times. I feel so badly about it Gary and I were fellow interns at North Shore Hospital in 76 to 77 I remember that he was one of the few normal people in our group he was happy so smart ultra competent. Haven't seen him since 1977. geographically we were distant.I also remember his beautiful wife Susan I think youll remember us too Connie and Richard Schaffer I'm so sorry about your loss. with all my love
