Greetings Patients and Friends, I will not have the usual medical related article this week.

Last Saturday my father passed away peacefully. He was 92.

Israel Sentizky was a brilliant physicist, violinist and most importantly a devoted husband and phenomenal father. He taught me advanced math (before I was emotionally advanced enough to appreciate it) and spent hours driving his two daughters to daily dance classes in NYC. When asked how long he wanted to live, he replied “Long enough to take care of my wife.” She passed away in January… My sister, his grandchildren and I will always miss him.
