Dr. Wise was my urologist for many, many years. I loved his sense of humor and continual reassurance whenever I had an appointment. Dr. Wise performed surgery that gave me a better quality of life. I have missed him and remember him with much affection.

I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to the family.
Even though I only saw him at tax time, it was always a treat when Dr. and Mrs. Wise came to the office. He will be missed, may he rest in peace.

Running a close second behind my father, Henry Moses Wise was one of the finest men I have ever met. As well as working for Dr. Wise for twelve years and knowing him for forty-two, he was a mentor, a man of compassion, love, humor and in later years, a trusted friend. So many lovely, everlasting memories in my heart.

May you all find comfort that he made a difference in each and every patient that was fortunate to be under his care. Rita Liebowitz
