I was sorry to learn of Dr. Souryal's death today. I was a member of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Alexandria Hospital from 1976 until 1991 and remember Dr. Souryal as an unfailingly kind, conscientious physician. I know he will be missed by his family,his coworkers, and the many patients he cared for over the years.

Dear Sourayl Family, I worked with DR. Sourayl in the OR for over 16 years. He was a kind man, always teaching and a good surgeon. Dr. Sourayl had been missed since he retired. I am sorry for your loss.
