Our hearts go out to the family. Dr. Wall had been our family doctor for many years. He was an absolute jewel. What will we do without him ?There's not another like him. Words cannot express the integrity, scholarship , compassion, decency, and dignity that he brought to the medical profession. We have held on to his services for dear life - traveling from Manteca to Stockton for medical care. We are devastated.

Dr Wall you were my late husbands doctor and became my doctor 27 years ago. I have
never had a more gentle and compassionate doctor. Knowing my disdain for seeing doctors I actually looked forward to our visits and no matter how ill I always left your office with a smile. You were my doctor but I also considered you a friend who I will miss very much. R.I.P. my friend my condolences and prayers go out to your family

I am greatly saddened by the sudden passing of my doctor Steven Wall. I was relatively a new patient of doctor Walls for about a year. And for the first time in many years I had finally found a doctor that I could be truly comfortable with, one that understood my concerns, one who had enormous empathy and compassion. Today I send prayers to Dr. Wall's family and friends for deep healing. Rest In Peace my doctor and friend. Gregory Jules Ferguson

Dr Wall was my primary doctor. He also after a few years purchased a home just a short ways from my home. We became tomato growing neighbors. When we would see each other we would tease about the tomato crops. As far as being a good doctor I have known of none finer. I truly beleived he saved my life when I was infected in my pelvis from a 30+ year old motorcycle wreck. I had 1 day to live acording to the doctors at UCSF. HE said he saw something very bad that he could not fix. No other doctors saw this in 30 years. He did. And he prayed for me more than once. I lost a friend. But I know where he is. He is in heaven with his friend. God the Almighty. I miss him and always will. Thats what good friends do

Juanita Mendoza

I believe it was more like 35+years of prayers and medicine, I asked what happened to the sign God Heals, the Doctor takes the fee? I was told it was in his personal office. I want to share how much my ONLY doctor meant to me. I gave referrals to my entire family that he gladly accepted and most important above all he always and I mean always prayed over me and mine. There aren't any words or time to express the depth of my personal loss, I said it once and I will say it again - My life is ever changed without my Doctor Steven Wall to come in with his clipboard How's Juanita doing...Oh how much he will be missed cannot be measured in this world...God bless Nancy and the staff at Dignity Health! We were all so blessed to have been touched by such a Gentle wonderful Man...Amen

Dr Wall was a amazing doctor and man of God. I meet Dr Wall many years ago when he was still in private practice. I was always inspired when I left his office even if I was still sick. All you had to do was ask and he would give you the best medicine in the world.... A prayer. His will be deeply missed.

Dr. Stephen Wall you will be forever missed, but never forgotten. Thank you for your wonderful care and passionate heart over the past 30+ years caring for my well being. Since I was a kid you cared for my health... I remember fond memories of many throat swabs to see if it was really was strep throat, or the time we weren't sure if it was chicken pox but you confirmed it was! I still have some chicken pox scars to prove you were right. I enjoyed our conversations as well as you would ask how my life was going and I had the pleasure of telling you about my adventures performing with my dogs and traveling across the country. You always seemed genuinely interested. Thank you for all you did for me and your friendship. This community has lost a hero. You will remain in my memories forever. May you Rest In Peace and may your family find peace knowing you are no longer sick or in pain.
