Dr. Brower was an incredible human being, mensch, and doctor. We will deeply miss him forever.

Not a single day passes without thoughts of Mark. He was the best of friends to us both and the best physician I will ever know. I am grateful every day for his friendship with me and especially with my late husband who loved him like a brother. My thoughts are for Julia.

It is over year since Mark Brower died but today I just found out about his death. I was a patient of his and he was a brilliant physician. Of equal importance was his amazing bedside manner, marked by exceptional compassion. He was called into my case twenty years ago when I was pregnant and hospitalized for a DVT. All the docs at Cornell were at a loss for how to stabilize me and I was in the hospital twice for weeks. However, when Dr. Brower was brought into the loop, everything from thereon in remained under control. I will be eternally grateful for his technical skills and support which would enable me to go on and carry a second child. His brilliance, kindness, and empathy I will always remember. While his tragic death leaves his patients, family, friends and peers with great loss, I am sure he is at peace, connected to his loved ones, and for those whose lives he touched, will never be forgotten.

December 5, 2013

I still can't believe you are gone Dr. Brower. I still can't find a comforting positive doctor like I had with you. I have learned that so much in the healing process is great cousel, good thoughts and a positive attitude. Much of this has been lost without you... Love you! God will treat you well in heaven.

Today I'm celebrating life of a wonderful person who left us so suddenly. Today we would light number of candles on Dr. Browser's birthday cake but with tears I'm lighting single candle in the memory of his life that touched so many people lives, saved and mentor. I miss Dr. Brower greatly. He was a wonderful boss to work with.
My deepest condolences to Mrs. Brower, Barry and David.

I trained in hematology at Cornell where Dr Brower was one of my attendings. The guest book includes many citations of his medical prowess and bedside manner, which I affirm. I would like to add that Mark was incredibly devoted to his family. At nearly every interaction I had with him, other than those involving care of his patients, Mark effusively talked about his children, how proud he was of them, how he hoped they would make a difference in the world, how much he loved them,.. As a young fellow, I would nod in an uninterested way. But now as a middle dated man with children, I could see what a wonderful father (and husband) he was. I am sure he is looking down upon his family with love today

Dr. Brower treated both my parents. I was a young girl then and even now when I remember him, I have a clear image of a man with the kindest face and eyes of great compassion. I have never met another doctor like him, ever. I feel compelled to write because, just a while ago, a white slip fell out of a book on my bed...and incredibly it turns out to be a detailed handwritten prescription for my mother, from 1994. It is a message from him and I will immediately consult with a Lama to make appropriate prayers and offerings to the Blue Buddha. And light butter lamps in his memory.

News of Dr. Brower's death has just reached me in Honolulu. I still cannot believe he is gone. Like others have written in these pages, I owe my life to Mark Brower, and was always cared for with courtesy and kindness, and with friendship for 23 years. I loved hearing him talk about his two sons, whom he loved so much. And his mother whom he visited often in Florida. This is just a tragic loss, and I join everyone in expressing deepest condolences, especially to Laura and Olga who were such an important part of his team, and for his family, and what they are experiencing in these sad days. Indeed, he is irreplacable. Blessings and prayers abound - Brian Grieves

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Brower's colleagues, friends and family.
I came to Dr. Brower at a moment of terror; I was young and had just had a pulmonary embolism and clots throughout my body. With his kindness, expertise and a touch of stern parenting, he helped me heal.
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting his sons and wife at EJ's one morning, but heard about your successes during every appointment we had over the years.
It was obvious Dr. Brower was overwhelmed with joy when the subject of his family came up. We would discuss my wife's and my two little boys and Dr. Brower would also mention that it "even gets better." His family was with him even when work kept you apart, and I am sure he is in your heart still.
A healer, a kind man, a dedicated husband and proud father.
He was critical to the recovery of my health, and I gained a friend and mentor on the way.
My family and I grieve for your loss.
Our deepest sympathies during this horrible time,
R.P. Eddy

Beyond his excellence as a medical practitioner and extraordinary kindness as a person, Dr. Brower was a very loving and proud father. And it was always fascinating to hear of his experiences in Bhutan.

It was an privilege to know such a marvelous individual and as with all who shared contact with Dr. Brower we are heart struck by his death. To his family, we add our condolences and prayers that over time, they will be healed in spirit.

From the Buddhist tradition comes these words that we believe reflect Dr. Brower's life --

This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.

Fondly,
Susan and Nash Madon

We have no words to describe the sorrow we feel for the death of Dr. Brower. He was our doctor for 22 years and a tremendous asset to the medical community. He was truly a great man and our friend. We will miss him greatly!

I've just received a letter informing me of Dr Brower's sudden death. I so shocked and saddened. My condolences to his wife and sons, who he always spoke of fondly, also to the wonderful Laura. He will be sadly missed. He saved my life, and for the next 19 years has been a wonderful fountain of advice and counsel. He was special

January 28, 2013

We have known MArk since he was in medical school. He was always a gentle and kind man who dedicated his life to others. We watched with pride as he created a wonderful family and amazing career. His loss is tragic. We send our deepest condolences.

I just learned of Dr. Brower's passing and I am in shock and devastated. I LOVED Dr. Brower as my doctor and such a wonderful human being. Nobody maintained such gracious bedside manner and warmth and care as he did. I am fortunate that I was able to tell him once when I ran into him in an unexpected encounter on a weekend, what an amazing and special doctor he was. I am so sorry for his family's loss and wish this just wasn't true. In sadness, Amy Weiss

January 25, 2013

Dr. Brower was my favorite doctor. I was unhappy that I hadn't been his patient for a while, but we needed to switch to a doctor who took our insurance. I could never find a doctor who remotely compared to him. His intelligence, kindliness, gentleness, wisdom, fairness, and general decency were moving, effective, and memorable. His advising voice is always in my ear whenever an ailment arises - he is still treating me. It was always clear how much he loved his sons, as he talked about them with such affection. Dr. Brower ran his office so well. Laura and he were a great team. It was a privilege to be his patient, and to converse with him. He was so reassuring. He is the standard to which all doctors should be held.

I just heard the sad news about Dr. Brower. He was my doctor for several years when I lived in NYC. He was always kind, caring, patient, and knowledgeable. A visit to him was always a pleasure. I extend my sincere condolences to his family.

The news of Mark's death is shocking and sad; a profound loss for so many of us who suddenly felt lighter, comforted and more hopeful just for being in his presence. Mark was a great doctor and a loving, kind and concerned man who I will always miss. My heart goes out to his family, friends, colleagues and patients and particularly to dear Laura, who is equally kind and caring. Thank you both and to the staff for taking such good care of me. I never had to wait, but now I find myself waiting to hear this was all mistake and Dr. Brower didn't really die! I imagine he will still be there smiling gently in his white coat should I come through the office door. Indeed, the most beautiful aspects of Mark's spirit continue to live in the lives he touched, prolonged and saved. In the hearts of all of us who had the great good fortune to know him, love him, and learn from him.

January 22, 2013

Mark Brower was an incredible doctor who made every patient feel that their life had meaning. He had time for everyone. You were a better human being for having known him. He was patient, confident, assuring and sincere in a quiet way. Most of all he was my friend. His passing leaves a void that I will never be able to fill. He will be missed but never forgotten by me and my family. He was the best of the best. My sincerest condolences to his family.

I learned of Dr. Brower's sudden passing this weekend. I was so shocked that I still cannot believe this is sad reality. Since I visited with Dr. Brower for the first time 2 years ago as a referred patient, he always gave me warm care and comfort that reminded me of beauty of being good to others. He was truly my best doctor. I share deepest sorrow with his other patients. My sincere condolences to his family and staff. Junko Funayama

January 17, 2013

I cannot believe this world has lost such an Angel.DR. Brower was my oncologist/internist for 21 years.In fact, I recently saw him 10-04 and we had our usual conversation.I looked forward to my appointments with Dr. Brower because he would inspire me with his comforting smile and dialogue. He is a part of my life that I will never ever forget. I will truly miss this great man that I call Dr. Brower. Anthony Romano

I am still in shock to hear of the passing of Dr. Mark Brower. His oldest son was a good friend of my oldest son in elementary school and although we had lost touch over the years, I was thrilled when our former internist retired and referred our family to Mark. Mark was not only a smart and talented doctor but he had a warm and compassionate manner that made him easy to talk to and gave such confidence that one was getting the best treatment he could offer. Checkups were always a time to share news about our boys and I will miss him terribly. All my condolences to his sons, his family and the office staff. May he rest in peace.

My most sincere condolences...I just learned today of Dr. Brower's passing. I was one of his first patients when he started practice. On my last visit we laughed at the size of my file and then reminieced, like we always did. He'd tell me about the boys and what they were doing. He was so so very proud of them. And then we'd talk about the advertising business and he'd have a story to tell about you, Mrs. Brower. I hope you can find comfort in knowing how very proud he was of all of you. And now you know he was chatting up a storm all day with his patients. Dr. Brower truly loved his family, his work and his life. A fabulous physician, a good friend, a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. His memory will live on in so many many people.

Peace be with you.

Dr Brower was my mothers doctor. I met him several times to discuss her health issues and care. At 87 she had many, but he assured her she was going to be okay and helped her understand her condition was manageable.

She traveled into NY City ever 6 weeks for her appointment. She would not consider seeing another doctor that was closer since she trusted him with her life.

We were so sorry to hear about this tragic accident. Our condolences go out to your family, friends and all the patients whose lives were touched by your gentle bedside manor and medical expertise.

Thank you for being such a wonderful doctor and human being!

Dr Brower helped me through our pregnancy. Thanks to him him we have two beautiful children. He will be missed. I send my love to his his family and staff and pray for their strength during this tragic time.

Dr. Mark Brower was known as one of the most distinguished Top Docs around, but to those who were lucky enough to be one of his patients he was a Top Human Being who just so happened to be an exceptional doctor too. I am one of the lucky ones...I was in that "patient club" for over two decades and I've had the privilege of living my life with the comfort of knowing I had a guardian angel on 72nd Street. I trusted him completely. He was real. He was focused and present and always genuinely listened to what you had to say. He exuded a humble brilliance unlike anyone I have ever known. And....he honest-to-goodness saved my life years ago when I was burning a fever of 106 for which I will forever be grateful. It is so crazy unfair to Dr. Brower that with all the lives he enhanced and saved that his own was cut so very short. I can't imagine how many hearts are breaking...but I am sure no one is feeling the pain more than his two beloved sons who were clearly the greatest joy of his life. My heart and prayers are with the Brower family and also with Laura, Olga and the rest of Dr. Brower's outstanding staff.

I learned of Dr. Brower's death late this afternoon, much to my consternation. Dr. Brower was my doctor for over 20 years and I owe my life to him. I hope that the family he loved so much finds a measure of comfort in knowing how esteemed and respected he was by his patients and colleagues.

January 15, 2013

A dear friend on earth, Dr. Brower will continue to be our friend and supporter in heaven. May you rest in the peace and tranquillity of the Lord, and ask Him to keep us all and the United States in His care.

My heart is completely broken. I join the many many friends who were wishing you well after having made the hard decision to move on to another chapter in your life, who now find ourselves praying for your eternal soul. Thank you Dr. Brower, for your loving care over the years, for your patience, sense of humor, shared stories about growing up in upstate New York, proud updates about your boys and the paths their own lives are taking, for your kindness and steadfast friendship, and mostly, for your commitment to healthcare for everyone. Until we meet again, may you rest in peace. You will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. My deepest condolences to the Brower family.

I just found this out today from the letter I received from the office today. This is a terrible thing that happened to a great man. He has been my Oncologist since April 1997 and I always thought of him as a friend to me and my family. We will miss hm dearly. Our sincere respects to The Brower family for your loss.

January 14, 2013

1/14/13 I was devastated to hear of Dr. Brower's death. He was my physician for 22 years and not only cared for me but also about me. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and staff.

January 11, 2013

The man my wife and I were honored to call our physician Dr.Mark Brower called me from his cell phone as usual within minutes of my calling him early November to discuss his new practice. It was wonderful to hear the passion and excitement in his voice as he talked about the reason for this life change. He said and I remember it so clearly, that he had become disillusioned with the way he now has to practice medicine; this was not how he envisioned it when he went to medical school. Although he realized all his patients would not be able to follow him into his new practice he talked about how he would be able to dedicate himself to those that would, how he would be able to make house visits and accompany them to specialists. You could hear the love, passion, and caring he was looking forward to impart to those in his care. That was the Mark Brower “ALL” his patients knew and loved. Never ever have I ever seen a physician so loved and adored by his patients!

His boys who he often talked about with such adoration should be comforted knowing what a mark their Dad has left on this world and how much he made it a better place. We are sure he is in a better place now as a guardian angel looking out for his family.

I just learned this awful news. I am in shock, without words, and beyond sad. Dr. Brower has been my primary care physician for 25 years. In addition to being so competent in his field, he was the most gentle, compassionate doctor; he was more like a friend. My deepest condolences go to his family and to Laura.

January 10, 2013

I just learned of Dr. Brower's death and am extremely saddened.

He had been my internist for the past 15 years. Besides being an excellent doctor, he was the kindest, most caring man I have ever known. I viewed Dr. Brower as I would a loving family member.

I will miss him oh so much, but am grateful that he was a part of my life.

His life was truly a blessing; may he rest in peace.

Dr. Mark Brower was my doctor for 15 years, and today, after returning from vacation, I heard the news of his untimely death. He was a perceptive, intelligent doctor who over the years became my friend. I sent him the books I published, because I admired him. Dr. Brower had been instrumental in getting my high school son a lab internship with a doctor friend of his. My son wrote to Dr. Brower in early December of 2012, telling him he had been admitted to Yale College. I will never forget the kind of man Dr. Brower was, the kind of caring doctor, the person who would do so much to help a young man like my son. My son is interested in medicine, and I hope one day he will become as good a doctor as Dr. Mark Brower. I send my deepest condolences to his family.

January 8, 2013

Absolutely speechless upon hearing this news. A terrific doctor....my condolences to the family

Dr Brower was my doctor for over 10 years. You could not meet a more thoughtful, respectable and considerate man. In an age where everyone tries to cut corners, Dr Brower was a breath of fresh air - detailed, meticulous, thorough - just wanting to do the right thing. I am deeply saddened by this and will miss him.

Mark was my GP for almost 20 years. On a weekend he would return an email virtually within minutes. I believe he treated many patients that could not afford the treatment for free. He was a wonderful MD and person. He will be very missed. I send my prayers to his family and friends.

Julie Grinstead

January 7, 2013

I am profoundly saddened by the loss of Dr. Brower. As his typist for 21 years, I knew him to be a wonderful man. The first time I met him, I was struck by a certain special quality in him. Always kind and caring, he was a healer first and a physician second. I believe he was led to practice medicine by a higher power. Despite the loss of someone who was dear to me, I know God has more important work for him elsewhere, and that's why he was taken so suddenly from our lives. I truly love Dr. Brower and will always miss him. He was a man of integrity and high moral character. May God be with his family during this most difficult time. My prayers are with you.

I have heard about Tuesdays with Morrie, but over the years I had Fridays with Dr. Brower, Laura and the Staff. Learning that Dr. Brower had passed away very suddenly it broke my heart. Although, my Fridays will never be the same, I know that his infinite wisdom was passed down to several generations of doctors. My only wish for his students is that they also learned his nurturing style, warmth and grace.

To his two sons, I have been a patient of your father's for the past thirteen years and during each visit he spoke so highly of your accomplishments and shared your dreams with me. I am convinced that your dreams will come to fruition knowing that your father is still watching over you.

January 5, 2013

I just learned about Dr. Mark Brower's tragic death. I knew him as a child when he was my next door neighbor in Massapequa Park. He was a special person even then; he will be sorely missed.

Dr.Brower postponed his trip to Dartmouth where his son had appendicitis to make sure I got through the emergency room at New York Hospital.

He was vastly kind,patient and humble.That kindness stayed with me a long time.

He also solved problems quickly and wisely.Whether the source was inadequate doctoring or your own careless regard for your health.

My thanks go to his family for sharing him with his patients. At every appointment I had, he would tell stories of his wife's career or son's accomplishments. You gave him a great deal and given the deep loss his patients feel,I can only imagine the pain you feel.

January 3, 2013

I have know Mark for 25 years... he was my internist first,,,the man I chose to be with me when I was no longer going to my" family doctor" kind of a surrogate father. I chose him because I knew he cared... When I lived in California.. I flew back for him... he was a man you can trust.. I will never understand why ... but for Laura and family... Mark Brower would want us to celebrate his life..his travels..his children... a life cut short ..but sooo much to be admired. Mark Brower you are in our hearts forvever- Laurie

I was a patient of Dr. Brower's for about five years, and was always impressed by his storehouse of knowledge, his technical virtuosity, and his affable personality. I actually looked forward to my periodic check-ups on a bone-marrow condition, about which Dr. Brower did his best to put me at ease.

Heartfelt sympathy to his family; His death came as a shock to me, and I will miss him.

I just heard the news of Dr. Brower's passing and I am saddened beyond words. He has been my wife's internist for decades and I recently had the honor of having him as my doctor for the past few years. He was by far the most gracious and caring doctor we have ever known. We will miss his smile, his demeanor, his concern, his outlook on life. We will miss him horribly....as I am sure anyone that had the pleasure of knowing him, whether patients, peers, co-workers, friends or family. He was a great man. My condolences to his family. 2013 has just begun on an incredibly sad note.

My deep sympathy goes to his family - he shared some wonderful stories of his sons over the years. His kindness and wise words will not be forgotten and I will miss him.

I looked forward to my annual physicals since it was a chance to have a good chat with Dr. Brower. The topics ranged from recent Bhutanese social developments to the value of exercise to the progress of his sons. I always came away better from our encounters even though I was never ill.

It saddens me deeply to learn that he is no longer with us.

My condolences to the Brower family. I met Dr Brower and the Blue Buddha 5 years ago. To be told so emphatically that I could be cured was a great weight lifted from me. My subsequent visits, discussing my health and the travails of funding academic science were fun rather than a worrisome chore. He will be missed.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Mark Brower. He was an inspiring teacher during my medical clerkship at Cornell, and his guidance has continued with me through my many years of clinical practice. Too early to lose such a great clinical teacher and practitioner---life is a fragile flame, and his absence will be felt for many years to come.
My sincere condolences to his family.

To the family of Mark Brower--I was Mark's patient and if I am inconsolable, I can only begin to imagine how you all must feel. Your beloved Mark was truly unique and special--a one of a kind doctor, individual and friend. I am grateful to have known him and to have been under his compassionate care. His presence will live on in our hearts.

My heart is broken. Dr Brower, my Dr of 20 years, was the kindest, most gentle soul treating each and every patient as if they were his most important. He was there for me during my darkest days and my happiest moments. I will miss him dearly and think of him often. My thoughts and prayers are with his family who lit up his life.

I am stunned and saddened by the sudden loss of Dr. Brower. He has been my oncologist for 17 years – and hence, an important part of my life. He was meticulous as a physician, but also sensitive, caring and wise on a personal level. As a patient, I always felt that he had all the time in the world for my visit, and that he was interested in what had transpired in my life during the 6 months since we had last met. He was one of the rare ones, a very special doctor who truly cared about his patients as well as his craft, and he will be deeply missed.

My thoughts go out to his family, as they come to terms with so great a loss.

I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire Brower family. I was a patient of his for 20 years and I considered him not just my doctor but also a friend. He was the finest doctor I've ever known. Besides being brilliant he had a level of compassion that was unmatched. I will miss you dear friend.

Mark was my best friend from junior high through high school, and then we reconnected again some years later. He had a great mind, a big heart, and a gentle sense of humor. I'd have been proud to call him Brother.

Dr. Brower,
I first met you as a teenager. You treated me as if I were your own son. You saved my life and both my family and I are eternally grateful. It is unimaginable that your life and presence has been taken from us. You were beyond my doctor, you were my friend and I am honored to have known you. Society is truly less off today. You will be dearly missed! RIP
