Dr. Schechter was one truly wonderful person. A mench by any standard. As my doctor he treated me in all the ways one could possibly hope for. He heard me when I thought this not possible.

Dr. Schechter was one of the kindest, decent individuals I have ever had the fortune to know. He began as my physician and, quickly, became a friend. He was both Marcus Welby MD and what I would imagine is everyone's perfect next door neighbor.

I can only hope Dr. Schechter knew how much he helped me. He was so caring and competent--I regret that I didn't thank him enough. I've seen many excellent doctors; but he was really special. He wasn't just a top notch clinician, he translated his extraordinary knowledge & understanding to patient care. He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Schechter was a most compassionate, humane, gentle man, who gave generously of his time and his body of knowledge. He was always genuinely gracious, kind and respectful in the face of his patient's frustrating chronic pain. He was by far my favorite physician. I miss him terribly and am grateful for having had his caring spirit tend to me as my doctor.

Dr. Schecter was an excellent physician. He was thorough, warm, and a good listener. I was always able to ask questions and never felt intimidated or rushed during my visits. I will miss him very much.
