There are no words to describe what an incredible person, surgeon and human being Kurt Wagner was. I met him through a friend I drove to a doctor appointment. My friend told Dr. Wagner about some badly botched surgery and that I had no insurance and was financially not able to pay for corrective surgery. Dr. Wagner after examing me did several corrective procedures, including all follow-up visits with no cost to me. He was one of the most compassionate caring excellent surgeons that I was very honored to to meet. He and his wife Barbara invited me to many events, but sadly, I lost touch when they relocated to Florida. It has been many years, but I think of Kurt often. I owe my very life and health to this wonderful man.

I'm just reading this now. I'm so sorry for your loss. My parents were good friends with Kurt and I worked in his Beverly Hills office in the early 70s.
