During my last Mammogram, I shared some concerns with Doctor Gehl, regarding the costs associated with coming back for diagnostic images, vs preventative images.  He was sympathetic in my concerns, and told me to request him personally for all of my future mammograms, as to help reduce some of the very expensive out of pocket costs.  I was very saddened to hear of his passing last week, when I asked for him.  He was such a kind, compassionate doctor.  I will greatly miss him.

I know these anniversaries are so difficult. Dr. Gehl was a wonderfully talented interventional radiologist.  I was his patient on several occasions. 

My children's father died when they were 14 and 16 years old. I understand the pain and the grief. My heart goes out to your entire family. 

Grief is tricky and takes as long as it takes. There is no right or wrong way to go through it. From my experience, not doing it alone is best.  

God bless.

Dr. Gehl did several procedures on me . I always found him to be clinically excellent, very kind, and a great communicator as a physician to a patient. When I returned for additional procedures, I was always grateful that he was again my physician. Many condolences to his family and co-workers . 

We are sick and heartbroken with this senseless loss. The world is diminished and darker knowing Randy is no longer with us. Like so many have mentioned here, Randy touched us each in a very deep and meaningful way and showed us how to live our best lives. We are better human beings for having known him. He will forever be missed and live on in our fond memories. Our deepest sympathies to Natalie, the kids, and his close family and friends.

Randy was our ringbearer in our wedding 47 years ago.  May he rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss.  Randy was a special person with his love for life and family.  Prayers for you all!

Deepest condolences to all who knew him well.  Dr. Gehl was always so friendly in discussing his obviously highly expert interpretation of thousands of films.  May his memory be immortal.

Randy was always so kind and outgoing. Conversations with him always left us happy & smiling (all of us—my parents included). We enjoyed all our interactions with him—on the slopes in the lunch room, at church or in passing with kid activities. I’m sure that his adventures will continue but we are deeply saddened by your family’s tragic loss. May much peace distill upon your beautiful hearts. I feel sure that he remains close by you. All our love and most sincere condolences.

In 2005 I was going in for what I thought was a pretty routine mammogram, even though I had been having them every six months. Dr. Gehl was the new kid on the block. He came in to talk to me and told me that he felt like the spot needed to be biopsied OR I needed to come in every three months. He assured me it probably wasn't cancer, but better to be sure. I had my biopsy at the Sally Jobe clinic in Denver, and my surgery with the head of breast surgery at Swedish Hospital. My surgeon called me in and showed me my mammogram and said, "I want you to see what your radiologist caught", I started to reach up to brush off what looked like dust specks. She said, "You owe this guy a big thank you, and you should get him a present." Poor Dr. Gehl, I think he thought I was stalking him, I sent him so many gifts. I made him a dream catcher, and a couple of years ago, someone told me it still hung in his office.  . . .During the process of all of this, my sister took my images to a friend of hers who was a radiologist. I don't really know what happened there but the doctor called me and told me the cancer had invaded the chest wall. I called Dr. Gehl hysterical. He had me come up to Junction and put all my mammos up and showed me the spot where they thought the tumor  was, and the spot the other doctor saw, which he said was clearly fibrocystic changes. Here is it is 15 years later, (almost to the day) and I still have a clear picture of his kindness. He will be greatly missed! 

I am so saddened by the sudden tragic death of Dr Randy Gehl. I worked for many years in Radiology Transcription at St. Mary's Hospital. Dr. Gehl was always friendly, kind and helpful, willing to share his time to talk to you about anything. He will be missed so much by everyone who knew him.

With sincere sympathy, Karen Plessinger 

Randy was a great guy and great mountain biker.  He an Joel took me on my first ride. I’m so saddened by his loss and offer condolences to his family. 

To the family of Dr. Gehl,
I am an 8 year breast cancer survivor . I had a mammogram in July 2012 . Dr. Gehl read my pics and St Mary’s called immediately to have me come back for another one. Dr Gehl came in and talked to me about his concerns. He did a stereotactic biopsy that week that confirmed my cancer. After my biopsy  I passed out, he was so concerned and kind. All future mammograms I looked for his name , hoping he was the Dr to read my report. I feel he saved my life! I’m so sorry for your loss . I know he will be greatly missed ! I send my deepest condolences. 

Oh Natalie:  I can't believe that I am sending this.  Never would I have ever imagined that Randy would be gone because he lived in a way that karma would have never let this happen.  He lead by example, kindly, and gently, and even though he was uber brilliant, he explained radiographic findings so simply that even an oncologist felt super human relaying those results to patients.  Since 2005, he never missed a thing, ever, on any of our shared hundreds (maybe thousands) of patients.  Even when my daughter suffered an unrecognized fracture on one or our trips, he caught it despite the local radiologist's interpretation, and did so with humility.  Every time I saw his name at the bottom of a radiology report, I knew it was perfect.  His manner and behavior with your children was, and is, a touchstone.  I will never forget our "dad time" outings with the kids on the boat and Lake Powell family adventure!   I am a better person, father, and physician for knowing him.  He is and will always be a touchstone for me.....  RIP Randy Gehl!!

So sad to hear of Dr. Gehl’s passing. Always kind and helpful to me and my patients. I salute you sir. God bless your family. 

Natalie, 
We're so sorry to hear of your loss. Payers for your comfort and support in this difficult time. Sending lots of love your way.

The sweetest guy on the planet.  We are so sorry for your loss.


He will be missed

 I was fortunate to be both a neighbor and patient  

He was a wonderful doctor 

He did help me very much In his diagnosis even though He was behind the scenes 

I also felt comfortable Seeing his name on his results from tests I have had at St Mary. He did not get the recognition he deserved.

He was a wonderful neighbor especially helping out neighbors out  in time of need. 

Natalie, you are in my prayers!  What a lovely family you and Randy share!  We know he will be ever-watchful of you and your children.  Please know how very sorry I am for your loss.  May you find comfort and strength in this most difficult time.
