I was pregnant in 1987 and went to the OBGYN group of Padilla, Trehy, Kilbride and Scerbo in Tampa. Three women plus Dr. Scerbo. I was told he was a high risk specialist. He was the one I hoped to get to deliver my child. On my 38th week of pregnancy he was the doctor I got for my exam and my blood pressure was elevated. He said "You´re going to deliver your baby today." I didn´t want to have another C-Section but he said to me "You could have a stroke in labor. Do you want to leave your baby without a mother?" I knew he cared genuinely and was very worried about me. I wasn´t lucky enough to get him to deliver my baby. I got Kilbride with Padilla assisting. Dr. Padilla was my second favorite of the four. I remember Dr. Scerbo as the kindest, warmest and most caring doctor with a big smile on his face and an outgoing likable personality. Not long afterwards I was told he moved to Boston for something to do with his son. I am from Boston originally born there but left at age 21. I thought if I ever moved back to the Boston area I would have had him for my doctor. I did not know until today that he passed away over 10 years ago at age 67. I´m so saddened to know he passed away so young. I see Padilla and Trehy are still in practice together and Kilbride appears to be on her own. I´m glad I got to meet and know Dr. Scerbo 35 years ago and was sad at the time he moved from Tampa. I hope he enjoyed the 25 years he spent in the Boston area. Reading the comments people left in the Boston area they loved him as much as we did in Tampa.

Jose delivered my 2 boys and I wondered where he was recently and googled him. I am in shock and so sad to read about Dr. Scerbo's passing. That picture is exactly how i remember him! We kidded after my youngest was born that I had to stop having children since he would no longer be practicing medicine. Another memory was after my sons birth a few hours passed and he came into my hospital room to check on me. He said and I quote, "you don't even look like you literally just had a 8lb baby." "You are a strong and beautiful woman" and then he kissed me on the forehead. That was 20 years ago and I will always remember him and the gift of the best Doctor God gave me. My thoughts are with him always and his loving family. Thank you Dr Scerbo for your kindness, your compassion and being an expert in the field of maternal fetal medicine and obstetrics. I am sure you are flying high with the angels now and may you sleep peacefully. In loving memory of you, Ann of Boston, Massachusetts

Susanna, I was shocked to just find out about Jose. That smiling picture is how I remember him, even in our residency. He was the most compassionate ob I have ever worked with in 35 years. All of these tributes essentially summarize his dedication to each individual pt. You and I remember his dedication to many pts in Tampa when he would stay with them for prolonged periods beyond any usual expectations of normal pt care. More importantly he was dedicated to you and your family and I remember how proud he was, when I visited in Hingham, that he had such a wonderful family and able to provide for them . He was honest to a fault, trusted, loved and respected by his colleagues. I am so sorry we lost contact over the years and due to our vocational separations. There is one guy I know is in Heaven and he is the one. My true sadness and shock at his passing cannot be appropriately expressed. I know how he missed Argentina and how appropriate it was that he was able to return and be surrounded by family.

I was a patient of Dr. Scerbo's for years before he stopped practicing. I often wondered what happened to him and decided to Google his name. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He was the kindest, most patient doctor I have ever been to. He was a life saver when I was pregnant with my second child. I can't believe I didn't know until now. I hope he is resting in peace.

Shame on me, I just learned about my most beloved Dr. passed away today from Susanna. With tears in my eyes and all my gratitude toward the most wonderful & selfless Dr. who would spend time after work to try to explain to me certain procedure that I need. He & Susanna have become my family's friends, my daughter's Dr. You are missed by all of us with LOVE, Tip, Gaia & Nino

I was his patient in Tampa, 1984.
He is one of the most influential and important people in my life. When he left Tampa I was crushed.
I loved him for being the best Doctor that I have ever had, and the fact that he was just sincerely... nice. He was concerned for his patients. In our difficult moments, we always talked about soccer. I miss him.
I am so sorry for your family. He was wonderful as a doctor and a wonderful as a person.

There are no words to express the loss we feel as a family. Dr. Scerbo gave us the greatest gift of all...he saved a life at birth, and gave us Sara. He is never far from our hearts. Our love goes out to Susana, Richard, Alex and Andy.

Dr. Scerbo was an extraordinary doctor and man. Having been his patient for about 7 years--until he stopped practicing, my husband and I always felt so fortunate that we were in Dr. Scerbo's hands during the pregnancy of my nine year old son and when he delivered our six year old daughter. I can't think of another doctor who kissed his patients in the most gentlemanly way possible to congratulate us on the birth of our children each time we gave birth. It was the warmest and most heartfelt gesture and I imagine Dr. Scerbo is in a very special place reserved for those who have lived their lives giving to others each and every day and touching lives in ways that will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. Warmest regards, Julie Walsh

I was a patient of Dr. Scerbo for almost 20 years. After many medical issues and 2 challenging births of my children, both of whom he delivered- Dr Scerbo was always a source of calm and support. His kind demeanor and beside manner will be missed. Dr Scerbo never missed the opportunity to ask about my husband and my kids. I am very sad to hear that he has passed and miss him dearly. He is truly the reason that I have my 2 beautiful children. May his family find peace in knowing he did so much for his patients.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel in the loss of Pepe. Aside from being the doctor who brought me into this world, Pepe has brought so much love and happiness to me, my family and to all others around him. I am blessed to have known him and to have grown up with the whole Scerbo family. There was no kinder heart. I only can find peace in knowing that he is in a far better place ... we miss you Pepe -- May God bless you and my condolences to your wonderful, warm and loving family, the true testament and legacy to what a great man Pepe was...

I was lucky to have been a patient of Dr. Scerbo's for all of the births of my 4 children, (all born via c-section.) He was a wonderful caring doctor with a bedside manner that was always calming and reassuring. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his wife and family. He will be missed.

I was a patient of Dr. Scerbos begining when I became pregnant for the first time 10 1/2 years ago. I definitely coulnd't have had a more caring doctor then I did with Dr. Scerbo. Having to find another doctor because he stopped practicing I always thought of him and wondered how he was. My prayers to the SCerbo family. He was truly a wonderful person.

Mrs. Scerbo and family,
My deepest and most sincere sympathy to you all. I was a patient of Dr. Scerbo for 18 years, and he was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. When my daughter was born, he stayed at the hospital late to deliver her. He went above and beyond to always make you feel special. The world was a better place because of him. Love and prayers.

Dr. Scerbo was my doctor for many years & later I had the honor of working @ SSH & would see him frequently. In both capacities he was one of the nicest persons I think I've ever met. Always cheerful, light-hearted, & focused on "you" when he spoke with you. He was an incredible doctor & person. He will be missed. So very sorry to hear of his passing.

Thank you to the Scerbo Family for letting your husband and father do what he did best, he was a truly remarkable person. He delivered all three of my children, treating me as if I was his only patient. With each child I required a surgery so that I could carry to full-term and he went above and beyond each time to make my pregnancy safe for me and my children. I prayed each time it got close to delivery that he would be the one who was there. My second child decided to enter the world the day before he was to go home to Buenos Aires to visit. He was schedule to be on vacation that day but he stayed till I delivered and I was so grateful to him. Dr. Scerbo thank you for all you did for the families of the South Shore. You will truly be missed - Rest in Peace.

Six years ago, Dr. Scerbo had to do an emergency c-section on me, delivering my daughter at only 29 weeks old. Then, a year later he had to tell me that I had a late stage breast cancer. For the whole time I went through my cancer treatments, Dr. Scerbo called me at home, asking how I was doing. I only got to see him a few times as my ob/gyn doctor, and he got to hold my daughter, the one he delivered premature. I wish I had been able to tell him he was not only a great doctor, but an extraordinary human being. He will never be forgotten.
February 1, 2012
As the husband of one of Dr. Scerbo's patients I too had the privelege of witnessing first hand how truly special this man was. After the birth of our second child in 1993 my wife developed some complications that required surgery. Dr. Scerbo was always there for us. My wife was crushed when he was forced to close his practice. I said it to him many times back then and I will say it again, Thank you Dr. Scerbo for all you did for my family. Rest in Peace. You have earned it, A thankful husband and father.

Dear Mrs Scerbo and family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss Dr.Scerbo. He was truly the most dedicated physician I have ever met. I had the good fortune to be his patient for over 16 years and to call on him in my position as a pharmaceutical sales rep. It was an honor to know him. He saved my life not once but twice. He told me before my last surgery that he would take as much care as if it were his own daughter in order to reassure me that everything was going to be ok. His smile was really all the reassurance any patient of his ever needed. I am deeply saddened for your family. He was a remarkable human being who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Mrs. Scerbo and Family, I was so sad to read of Dr. Scerbo's passing. I was very lucky to have him as my doctor. He cared for me as if I was his only patient. He operated on me and I had some complications, and he was right there every step of the way. It was that smile and caring voice that gave me the reassurance that all was going to be fine, and it was. His passing is a lose to everyone who had the honor of knowing him. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.

Mrs. Scerbo and family, I am so very sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Scerbo. I was fortunate enough to have him deliver all 3 of my boys. Each one had to be induced and he made sure to work it around his schedule. My first child had the cord around his neck and he took such care to make sure that he was ok! After my second child I had some problems and he took such care to make sure I could carry my third child to term. I will never forget when he gave me a big hug after the delivery of my third child and said "you sure worked hard for this one". Dr. Scerbo was a kind and gentle person and doctor. I thank you for sharing him with so many people and touching so many lives. I have never had a doctor with so much care for his patients! He will be greatly missed by so many. I know he is in heaven and I pray that you find comfort and peace in knowing how many people loved him! God Bless you all!

Dear Mrs. Scerbo and family...my sincerest sympathies to you all on the loss of your beloved husband and father and grandfather.

To the Scerbo Family, Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences at this most difficult of times. He was the most caring, wonderful doctor I ever had . He took an extraordinary care of me from day one when I was referred to him to deliver my four wonderful children and more. He can related communication barriers with me, my deafness and his accents. He went out of his way to keep me under his wings and care for me to assure the best health for me and my children. Thank you for sharing Dr. Scerbo with all of us. With thoughts and prayers.

Dear Scerbo Family,
Dr Scerbo was the BEST at what he did. He delivered all three of my boy's and literally saved my life and my last baby back in 1997. The level of care that he provided always went way above and beyond what would be expected. He truly was one of a kind and will be sadly missed.
January 28, 2012
Dear Mrs. Scerbo and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Dr. Scerbo's passing. I know that he is in Heaven at this moment watching over all of us as he truly was a Guardian Angel to many of us here on earth! Because of Dr. Scerbo's brilliance, perseverance, caring and never ending support our family was blessed with twins 18 years ago. Without Dr. Scerbo, I know this would never have been possible. The time he took with his patients and the love and support he gave to each of us made us all feel as though we were his only patients and all that mattered to him. He took time I'm sure away from the loves of his life, his family to care for his patients. The world has lost a truly magnificent doctor! Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Hold all those wonderful memories you have to keep his spirit alive. I know for myself, I will never ever forget his laughter and that great big smile on his face no matter what. He was truly God-send.
Rest in Peace, Dr. Scerbo. Know that you were loved by all the lives you touched.
Fondly,
Sherie Harris & Family

Dear To Scerbo Family. Please accept my sincere Sympathy's to all of you during this diffuclt time. Dr. Scerbo was my doctor from 1996, until he left his practice. He Delivered my daughter in December of 1996. He was a very kind person and had the best bedside manner anyone could ask for. He didn't deliver my son in 1992, but i wish he did, I had another Doctor, but when i became pregnant with my daughter, I switched over to him, because of my cousin worked with him in the Operating Room and she recommended me to him and she thought the world of him as he did for her as well. He will be sorely missed by everyone who had him as a Doctor, friend and colleague. You are all in my prayers and thoughts today and now we all have another wonderul and kind angel watching over us, God Bless you All.
