Michael S. Mack, M.D.

Michael S. Mack, M.D., 74, of Ottawa Hills, passed away on Saturday, December 31, 2022. He was born in Toledo, OH to Stephen A. Mack, Esq., and Virginia (Sanecki) Mack on March 5, 1948. Dr. Mack graduated from St. Francis de Sales High School, the University of Toledo, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and completed an internship and residency at the Medical College of Ohio. In 1977, Dr. Michael Mack began his group practice in obstetrics and gynecology at the Toledo Clinic, specializing in infertility. His accomplishments included becoming a local pioneer in the field of advanced operative hysterectomy and laparoscopy. He retired from practice in 1999 due to health reasons, but that did not stop him from continuing his mission. Dr. Mack became a volunteer teacher at the Medical College of Ohio, instructing residents and medical students in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology and physical diagnosis. In 2012, he was promoted to the rank of Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the college and later received multiple recognitions and awards from his peers and students including: The University of Toledo College of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, first annual "The Michael Mack M.D. Education Award".

Michael's life goal was to improve the lives of all he encountered, including countless patients, students, friends, and most of all family. He enjoyed many family road trips and traveled by rail across the U.S. and Canada. He also enjoyed annual anniversary trips with his loving wife, Julie. Michael took his role of grandpa seriously; he had a special bond with each grandchild built around their interests. He loved photography, IndyCar Racing, model trains, woodworking, family pets and birdwatching. He was proud of his home and yard, both of which he designed and maintained. Michael was the kind of person who made friends everywhere he went, genuinely caring and interested in everyone around him.

Michael (Daddy/Ba/Grandpa/Dr. Mack) is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 51 years, Julie (Shea) Mack; children, Laura (David) Roberts, Andrea (Osama) Francis; grandchildren, Nathan Roberts, Katherine Hudak, Abigail Francis; sister, Annette (Jeffery) Custer; and nieces and nephew.

I just heard about Dr. Mack's passing. I was fortunate to work with Dr. Mack as a member of ProMedica's continuing medical education department. I always loved conferences that Dr. Mack attended. He was one of those rare individuals who cared about and was interested in everyone he was speaking to. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.

Dr Mack helped me with my infertility and delivered my daughter in 1992. He was compassionate and caring and put me at ease the first time I met him. I have a picture of him holding my daughter in her baby book! A true professional and gentleman. My condolences to his family.

Dr Mack did my 3 C sections, 1984, 1987, 1990. I absolutely loved him. Not only was he genuinely caring he was so funny. When he had to tell me I was going to require a C-section for my first after hours of labor, he told me it was his first C-section, but that he had looked it up and reviewed the procedure and was pretty sure he had it down. He lightened the moment for me. I reminded him of this when I was there for my second and he said that this was just his second C-section.... They had had such a dry spell at the office. He just cracked me up. When I saw him soon after going through colon cancer, his response was so sincere and caring along with a hug. He was a gem.

We are so sorry to hear about Mr Mack´s passing . We were residents in university of Toledo from 2005-2009. Our weekly meetings with him were amazing. All the residents looked forward to them. We learned so much not only clinically but he was also a role model in professionalism , passion, respect for others, mannerisms
He will be truly missed

I went to grade school with Mike at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. He was probably one of the smartest guys in the class. Rest in peace, job well done, blessings on the family as they grieve.

So sorry to hear about Dr. Mack. He not only helped me with fertility issues but got me through an ectopic pregnancy and then delivered my son in 1986. I just idolized him. Thank you for your kindness, understanding and skill. Please Rest In Peace.

I knew Mike from our days at St Francis. He was quite but very smart. And he was my wife's OBGYN. She loved going to him. She kept saying how funny he was, which amused me. I said, are you sure it is the same guy from my class? He helped us through a very trying time in our life.
