My condolences to the Territo Family. He was the primary care physician to my husband and myself for 30 years and I missed him when he retired. He was an exceptional diagnostician and this seems to be a skill sadly lost in todays healthcare systems. So sorry for your loss.

We were very sorry to learn of Dr. Territo's passing. He was a wonderful man and doctor. We especially appreciated the generosity and support he provided Joan Holden during the years she worked for him. The world is a lesser place without Dr. Joe walking among us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all on this difficult day.

To the entire Territo family:

I had planned on attending Dr. Territo's funeral today but at the last minute was unable to. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Dr. T was a wonderful man, gifted family physician, and a terrific advisor. I, along with my family, were some of his very first patients. He supported me through the loss of my Father, Brother, and my Mother. I hope he knew how much he meant to so many.

So sorry for your loss, Dr T was the BEST doctor we ever came across. He treated my whole family over the years and, he also more knowledge of what might be going on with you than any doctor I have seen since he left his practice.
He also had great interns which we always hated to see leave. I reference him to man medical personal as," there will never be another doctor as good as him."
Also loved his straight talk.

I am so sorry to hear this :( I will always remember him, not only has a great man, but also as the great doctor that not only cared for me from my birth to his retirement, but also allowed me to preform my internship with him and the great staff at his office. He was was not shy about challenging me when I needed it, and always did so with a heart of care and love. He fought for my grandma when other doctors said she only had 4 months to live, and she went on to live a good quality of life for 2 more years. I have so many great memories, so many stories, and so many things I want to say. While I may have only interacted with him as a doctor and mentor, Dr. Territo always felt more like a really smart grandfather to me then a doctor. His great heart, unsurpassed bedside manner, and unending care for those around him is a great loss for this world and will be sorely missed.

Bev and the whole Territo Family,
I cannot believe that Joe is gone. He was always the person that I would go to for advice, being my partner for almost 12 years. I will always credit him with making me the physician that I am today. He was always putting me and my family ahead of himself, and was always my "go-to" for ideas and thoughts on how to treat and take care of my patients, my family and myself. He will be missed by everybody in my family and we will never forget him. God bless all of you, and we will be praying for all of you in the days to come.

Joe, you have left a lasting impact on us! I will miss our conversations at Lus. Always quick with a quip, a knowing perspective and sage advice. I am forever glad you had that Lays potato chip at the last Labor Day party. That smile is ingrained into my memory!

Bev. Words cannot express how I feel. Dr. Territo was my mentor, advisor, colleague and my friend. He treated me with respect when I was nothing but a youngster. he showed me the value of Osteopathy, and he treated Pam and my family like his own. He impacted many lives, but he touched mine and I will miss him. God bless your family. We are still in Florida but you are in our thoughts and prayers
