Just learned that Dr. Kusnitz passed. My sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones. He was an absolutely wonderful doctor and person.  I think just about the most knowledgeable, competent and kindest  doctors I have encountered. He will be missed!

I just found out today that Dr. Kusnitz passed away. He was my ob gyn since 1999 and such an amazing physician and human being. He will be missed . Our condolences to his family 🙏🏼

I was Dr Kusnitz patient for twenty years.  The person who recommended him said I’d like him, he’s jolly.   Both were true.
I walked in feeling nervous, but he put me at ease, as did his dedicated staff.  
When I picture him, he is sitting behind his desk, surrounded by framed photographs of those he loved.  That touched me.  
My sympathies to all who loved him.  He was a good man, gone too soon.

To the Kusnitz Family;
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your father, husband, son, uncle and friend Dr. Jonathan Kusnitz.    Dr. Kusnitz was an amazing doctor and boss.  He hired me to work at the Great Neck office many years ago and it is still one of my fondest memories working with him and the other docs who gave me my first job in OB/GYN.   I learned so much from him.  I went on the become a Registered Nurse in OB and have continued to use the lessons he taught me when caring for my patients.  May you find comfort in the memories, I can still remember seeing his great smile and laughter.  
Claudia Joseph Dehaut

We went back as far as Yeshiva Univ and then to New York Med together. A wonderful human being, loved his laugh. We went our different ways. Gladdened that he touched so many people
May his memory be blessed

I too was a patient of Dr. Kusnitz. He delivered both my daughters and my niece. I also found out when I called to make my annual appointment. I am deeply saddened and honestly, I have no closure. When I close  my eyes  I can see his smiling face . He was always kind and welcoming and made you felt feel very comfortable. I will miss him dearly.
My condolences to the family. May he rest in peace🙏

I was so saddened and shocked to learn of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing. I was calling to make my yearly check up and that’s when I learned of this terrible news. It was the last thing I expected to hear. Dr. Kusnitz was an incredible doctor and person. He was so bright and informative, and he also had the kindest bedside manner.  He always came into the exam room with a smile on his face, we would chat and catch up and would always talk about Lake George, an area we both loved going to with our families. Dr. Kusnitz was always very reassuring and calming as I tended to be an anxious patient. He will truly be missed. Going to my next appointment will feel so strange, as his friendly, smiling face will not be there to greet me. Sending my heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family.

I am so upset to learn of dr kuznitz death. I was his patient.

I was deeply saddened on July 29th. when I called to schedule my annual appointment , only to find out that Dr Kusnitz passed away. I am still in shock and heartbroken.
I have been a patient of Dr Kusnitz for over 32 years, he delivered my third daughter and my first granddaughter. 
He always greeted me with a warm smile and said “Hello my friend, how are you doing, how is the family” his demeanor sooth my soul, a kind man and a great doctor , he will be missed! 
My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Kusnitz. He was such a caring individual. I originally found Dr. Kusnitz when my teenage daughter had a sensitive topic to be explored and I couldn't bring her to any doctor I knew. I researched and was recommended Dr. Kusnitz. I was so pleased and immediately switched to his practice as well. I once needed a procedure done and he was so comforting and understanding of my situation. He then called me a few days after the procedure to hear from me how I was doing. There will never be another doctor like Dr. Kusnitz and he is sorely missed. Yehi Zichro Baruch.

I was absolutely shocked and so sad to hear  of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing while calling to make my annual appointment today. I was a patient of his for 40 years. He was the best.  He was not only my doctor but a friend.  I truly enjoyed our conversations. He not only saw both of my daughters, as well, but delivered my youngest. May he rest in eternal peace.

ברוך דין האמת. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing today, when I called to make my annual appointment. He was a kind and gentle person, always reassuring with a fun twinkle in his eye. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
יהי זכרו ברוך

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’a passing when I called to make my annual appointment. He was such a kind, caring doctor who always greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel so comfortable for the past 30+ years. He delivered one of my 2 children and saw my daughter until she moved out of state! He will truly be missed! My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace!

Dr. Kusnitz was my doctor for 25 years. He was kind, caring, supportive, thoughtful, patient and one of the most gentle souls I have been blessed to know. I am shocked and deeply saddened by his passing.
Good-bye my friend...may your memory be for a blessing.

I just called the office and found out of Dr. Kusnitz passing.  To say I am devastated in an understatement.   Dr. Kusnitz was my first and only doctor.  I have seen him for over 30 years.  Not only would we talk medical issues but he was always so sweet with giving advice.   He will be so missed.  My deepest condolences to the Kusnitz family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Kusnitz when I called his office for my annual visit.  I have been a patient of his for over 30 years.  He would always make my blood pressure go down when he would say, "hello my friend, how are you doing?"  I felt comfortable and relieved.  We would always talk about his lovely family and I would always take a look at the photos on his desk and he would tell me about new additions - how he loved his grandchildren and traveling to Arizona and family vacations.  Such a wonderful person and doctor.  He delivered my grandson Christian who is turning 25 in August and my daughter Victoria appreciated his care and concern for her well being throughout her pregnancy.  He will be greatly missed!  My condolences to his heartbroken family and patients.  May he rest in the peace he so greatly deserves. Amen.

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Dr Kusnitz, he was an exceptional kind doctor who always gave you comfort, i have been his patient for many years. May he rest peacefully prayers to his family 🙏
Maryann Strocchia 😭😭

My heart goes out to your family for this grave loss. I have been a patient for nearly 30 years and he delivered my daughter.  A delivery can be so traumatic yet he delivered my daughter with such amazing skill, ease, comfort and humor.  I always appreciated his warm greeting and sincere caring. Truly a gem of a doctor and man who will be greatly missed.  💜

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of such an amazing and wonderful doctor and friend.  My family and I were blessed to know him for 35 years!!!   He was a man of great compassion, always making you feel comfortable no matter what the medical issues were -   with that terrific sense of humor and such a genuine feel for people.    He truly cared for others.    And nothing can compare to his love of family and how proud he was of them.  I so enjoyed the many pictures displayed in his office and his anecdotes reminiscing over his beautiful family.    What a pleasure it was to see him on appointments and of course as the doctor who delivered our daughter many years ago, he is and will always be remembered with great love and fondness.  Rest in Peace dear friend.    Waid and Bianca Worden

BDE. So very sad to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing. I was a decades long patient of his. He was the kindest and most patient man, always giving as much time as needed and answering every question. After not being the doctor on call for my first child, I told him he must be there for the second. He laughed at the time and said he would do his best, and he did! Delivered baby #2. He always inquired how my family was doing, as did I of his. You could tell what a wonderful family man he was by the pictures of his beautiful family that he kept on his desk. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

Baruch Dayan haemet , I am so sorry to hear of your family’s loss. I was fortunate enough to be Dr Kusnitz patient but not for so long. I only met him last January when I needed medical help.  Every time I had an issue I’d make an appt and go to see him I felt  so so comforted when I let him know what was going on. He was so so kind and caring made me feel so at ease. I felt so understood  .  I felt like nothing was wrong when in his office room , so at ease. May Hashem comfort all of your families and may you have only smachot . He will be missed very much

I worked with Dr. Kusnitz for 5 years and what a blessing it was to know him and an honor to work and learn from him. My heart is broken. I will miss him dearly. His encouragement, his patience, his compassion will never be forgotten by his adored patients. He was truly one of a kind.

I'm so sad.  Just learned today that Dr. Kusnitz passed away.  He delivered two of my children.  To say he had the best bedside manner would be understatement.  So kind and caring.  My condolences to his beautiful family.  May he RIP.

I became a patient of Dr kusnitz when Dr Trufelli  retired. I just heard of his passing and feel so sad.  What a kind and compassionate man and great doctor. He will be truly missed

I’m just learning of Dr Kusnitz passing. To say the least it was so devastating. He has been my doctor for over 3 decades and he was such a kind, loving, compassionate man. He made you feel like a friend and so very comfortable. 
He will be sorely missed. May he RIP.

This will likely happen to so many others.  I called today to make my annual appointment to learn of Dr. Kusnitz passing.  I feel for the gal that answered the phone because it really took my breath away.  Like so many other tributes here, I was a patient for 32 years.  It's amazing to me how many patients left tributes on this site saying he was their doctor for so many decades.  Such a testament to who this man was both personally and professionally.  Everyone who experienced the "Hello My Friend!" as he entered the room knew from his warm smile what a genuinely caring doctor he was.  Dr K delivered my first child who is a 30 yr old man now.  I adored Dr. K.  I saw him about 6 months ago for a very unusual quick check on something that was worrying me.  I had no idea he left on medical leave shortly thereafter.  I hope he knew how much I, and all the other patients adored him.  I am so sad for his family (he was so young!) and his colleagues many of whom have worked with Dr. K for 37 years.   Dr. K was one of a kind and will be missed so very much.

I just learned Dr Kusnitz passed away. My mother and I were his patients for years. He was so warm and reassuring and kind. He was a very special doctor and human being and we will miss him. May his memory be a blessing. My condolences to the family.

I just found out today that Dr. Kusnitz passed away and I was shocked. I had not realized the severity of his medical leave. He was such a lovely person and will be missed by so many. My deepest condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren and all who loved him.

I just found out Dr. Kusnitz passed away. I am devastated to hear this. I have been his patient for over 30 years, the only ob-gyn I have been to. I went through 3 pregnancies with him and every annual visit. I looked forward to my appointments with him as he was so pleasant, funny and compassionate- like an old friend. He always walked into the room with a big smile and said Hello, my friend! We always talked about his annual trips to Lake George and his love of fishing, his family and how it grew each year. I will miss him so much. There will never be another like him. Rest in Peace Dr. Kusnitz. You were a wonderful doctor and man. My condolences to his family and colleagues

Dr. Kusnitz was such a kind and caring doctor. I am so saddened to hear of his loss.  I send my deepest condolences to his family.

He was my doctor and the most wonderful
Man. I am so very sorry

My deepest condolences to Dr. Kuznitz' family. He was an amazing doctor that always calmed my fears with his warm smile and sense of humor. I and heartbroken to hear of his passing. May his memory be a blessing.
Michelle K.

My condolences to Dr Kusnitz family.  I like the others are shocked to learn of his passing. I retired and moved to NC but continued to return to  Long Island  yearly just for my yearly mammagram and examination to see and be examined by this wonderful man. I just learned today of his passing and I am so very sad to hear this news. At each appointment he made  me smile. After each exam he would take extra time to talk to me in his office. The pictures of his family were throughout his office. He would update me on the many trips he had taken and his children and grandchildren. My deepest sympathies.

Dr. Kusnitz - a caring doctor who made me feel at ease with his positivity. Dr. Kusnitz ended our appointments sometimes by wishing me well and calling me a 'friend'. He had a pleasant and relaxed professional demeanor, treating me kindly during my doctor appointments. He will be missed. -Michelle A.

Dr Kuznitz, the kindest, human being. He never planned on retiring……. I was SHOCKED whn I first found out that he was not well……. I called recently to book a visit and felt like someone knocked the wind out of me……… may he RIP…. Heart felt condolences to his loved ones… May his memories be cherished🙏

I called the office today to make an appointment and was told that Dr. Kusnitz passed away.  I was absolutely shocked.  Dr. Trufelli had been my doctor for many years and when he retired, Dr. Kusnitz became my doctor.  What a sweet and gentle man.  My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I just found out trying to make an appointment 
I was devastated to hear that 
Dr Kusnitz was my Dr for about 35 years 
He was always smiling  never made you afraid of going to a gynecologist 
The sweetest most gentle Dr ever!

And he would say "I'm not planning on it"
He was my daughters Dr also
He Wiil be truly missed 💔

Such a great and kind doctor, I dont have any words for this tremendous loss. I love you Dr. Kusnitz, you were and will always be the very best!!

So sad to learn today of the recent passing of Dr. Kusnitz.  I had the honor and privilege of being his patient for over 30 years.  His smile, warmth, gentleness, compassion and professionalism was beyond anything I have ever experienced.  A true example of a wonderful human being.  I always looked forward to my yearly visits to catch up on family news,activities or additions. Always enjoyed looking at the family photos in his office.  He was a very proud husband, father and grandfather.  My deepest condolences go out to his family  but be assured that he is definitely watching over all of you.  God bless you Dr. Kusnitz  and thank you for everything that you have done for me and all of your other patients. Rest in Peace

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing. I echo others that highlight his compassion and caring for his patients.  I was a patient of his for 27 years. He always made me  feel at ease. After I moved out of state I traveled back to New York for my annual exam. Rest in peace to this one of a kind  gentleman. Deepest sympathy for his family as they navigate through this very difficult time.

To the family of a wonderful man who touched so many lives. He was my doctor for 25 years and he made a difference in our lives with his empathy, compassion and humor.  Your loss is immeasurable, and he was surely taken too soon but please take comfort in knowing that so many people who knew him loved him. He was one of a kind.

So saddened to hear today of the passing of Dr. Kusnitz.  I have been a patient of his for over 30 years. He has always been a truly caring doctor and always extremely pleasant. His office was always filled with beautiful pictures of his family that he was so proud of. He will truly be missed. May he rest in peace and his memory be a blessing.

I am so very sad to learn  today of the passing of Dr. Kusnitz last month. I read some of the other condolences and am not surprised to learn that so many, including myself,  have been his patient for decades. I first became a patient of Dr. Kusnitz back in the eighties when he practiced in Forest Hills. He delivered my two children. He was such a kind, caring and thorough doctor, and always  made you feel that everything was going to be ok. When I saw him last year, we reminisced about when he started in Forest Hills and me being one of his most longtime patients. 
My deepest condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’s passing. I had the honor of being his patient for 27 years, and he delivered two of my children. It was always a pleasure walking into his office; he had a warm, calming presence and truly made every visit feel like a joy, no matter the reason. His compassion, professionalism, and gentle spirit left a lasting impact on my life. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his staff, and all who were blessed to know him.

I was very saddened to hear today that Dr. Kusnitz passed. He was my ob/gyn for over 35 years. I saw him first in his Forest Hills office. He delivered four of my children. I remember when I was in labor and I started praying aloud, I asked him to pray too, and he immediately said: “I will.” He was the very best doctor and always had time for his patients. He was always in a positive mood, and  no matter what condition you were having evaluated, he empowered you NOT to worry!  I know he had a wonderful family. He would look so forward to his trips to Lake George and Arizona. He LOVED being a grandparent. God bless his family, but rest assured he will be watching over you from heaven for sure!  🙏🙏🙏🙏

I just called the office to find out if there was any update on Dr. Kusnitz’s return and learned of his passing last month. I broke down in tears hearing this awful news.  I was a patient of his for over 30 years. He got me through both pregnancies and delivered my daughter. Dr. Kusnitz was the most wonderful, compassionate and caring doctor and a real mensch. Like others have said, he always greeted me with “how are you my friend” and “how’s the family?” I will miss him and his huge, warm smile. My deepest condolences to his entire family.

I just found out today that Dr Kusnitz had died in March. He delivered my son thirty-five years ago ((“it’s a redhead!”) and has been my doctor ever since. Aside from being a wonderfully knowledgeable and capable physician, he was funny, kind, caring and compassionate. He ended every visit with the words “Take care,  my friend”  and that’s how I thought of him as well. Rest in peace, my friend. You are missed.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing  of dr. Kusnitz. 
I remember my last appointment with him, before I left. I told him to take care of himself because I need him, he smiled. And that’s how I remembered him before I left. He’s kind smile on he’s kind face.
He was truly dedicated and compassionate Doctor. He will be remembered, and he will be greatly missed .
Rest in peace.
Medine Suleymanova.

a real gentleman; he was a compassionate Dr. who felt like a friend who truly cared about his R.I.P. from Gail Grayson

My deepest condolences to Dr Kusnitz's family. I just called to make my annual appointment & was informed of his passing. 
I was totally shocked!!! He was so compassionate & such a great Doctor!!!
May he rest in peace.

I was a patient of dr Kusnitz and so was my daughter Eva. He was so kind and listened to everything I said. My daughter and I got a reminder of my appt and I was shocked and so devistated. Rest in peace doctor and I wish the family healing

I am so sorry to hear this news. He was my doctor for over 30 years and what an amazing doctor he was . I am devastated. May he rest in peace. He was loved.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kusnitz since 1988 and I just found out about his passing.  I am so shocked and saddened. Dr. Kusnitz has helped me through a number of medical issues over the years with such kindness and concern.  I had so much trust in him because he was a wonderful Doctor.  He always greeted me with a “How are you my Friend?” and  there were always “regards to the Family”. My daughters, whom he delivered,  were his patients also and loved him so much. When I moved an hour away I still came back for my exams just to see him. My prayers are with his Family.  May you rest in peace Dr. Kusnitz.

Dr. Kusnitz was my doctor for 30 years and was the BEST. He was the most caring and understanding individual and helped me through so many medical hurdles in my life. I am devasted to hear of his passing.

Dr Kusnitz was my doctor since 1988. There was no kinder and compassionate doctor and person. He always made me feel at ease. We talked about our families and grandchildren . I will miss him immensely.

I am so upset as I just found out today ! I can not stop crying as he was the best ! He made  me feel like i was seeing a friend as i have gone to him since my youngest was born ! My two daughters who have their own families have gone to him. I am trying to understand ...
The worst part is that i have an appointment this week in the office and I do not feel like i can go without him there!
May he rest in peace! My condolences to the entire family! He will truly be missed .....

I’m so sorry and sad to hear this horrible news.  Dr Kusnitz was a wonderful and carring doctor. He always had a smile and made you feel at ease. He delivered 3 of my kids and the last one was a boy. I named my son after Dr Kusnitz.  Jonathan. 
May he rest in peace and his neshama be in Gan Eden 🙏🏻 
May the family know only simchas from now on. 
Zehavit Oved

Dr Kusnitz was my doctor for over 30 years. His caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable personality and care gave me a sense of security each time I would visit his office.  
He would put me at ease when he greeted me, “ Hello my friend” and listen to any questions or concerns I had with such attention I felt heard and cared for.  
Dr Kusnitz will be greatly missed and a great loss to all of us.  
Sending my deepest condolences to his beautiful family.  He loved you all so much and enjoyed sharing stories about each of you.  He was very proud of his grandchildren.   May his memory be a blessing!  Evelyn Burack

I was a patient of Dr Kusnitz for over 35 years. He truly made me feel like he was my friend. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient , and always made you feel like everything  was going to be OK. He delivered two of my four children and was so proud to be the caregiver to my daughter. He will be greatly missed. The world is less bright without him here. To his family, I’m so sorry for your loss.   
Christine Digan.

I was so saddened to hear this morning of the passing of Dr Kusnitz. I knew him from the original practice in queens, where I started 35 years ago. He was such a kind, caring doctor. It will be very difficult to find another doctor as knowledgeable and compassionate. My sincere condolences to his family.

Yesterday I learned the sad news about our beloved Dr. Kusnitz while trying to make an appointment.  I was so shocked that I had to pull over because I was sobbing. 
Dr. Kusnitz was my doctor for at least 30 years , and was recommended by a friend when I needed a second opinion ,which turned out to be a misdiagnose  . Had  I not gone to Dr. Kusnitz, I would have had an unnecessary procedure by my gyn.
 How can I put into words, such a doctor, whose compassion, sensitivity, and sincerity  could bring comfort and reassurance that you will be fine, without alarming you.
Dr. Kusnitz went above and beyond the expectations of his medical career. 
I will miss his expertise care and the stories we both shared about our beautiful families and naches from our grandchildren. 
But most of all,I will miss him walking into the room, with his infectious smile greeting me with a simple, “Hello my friend”, and all my anxiety would fly out the window. 
May his memory be a blessing.
With sincere sympathy,
Lillian Zimmerman-Schneider & daughter,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’ passing this morning when I called the office. His demeanor was so pleasant, and his professionalism was beyond what anyone would expect during a visit to a gynecologist. We talked about family and how important family is in our lives. I knew his devotion to his family by  the pictures in his office and the smile on his face when we discussed different family situations. My condolences to his family. We lost a great doctor and friend.

Dr Kusnitz was my doctor for over 35 year’s. He was a compassionate person, wonder doctor and so proud of his family. I am so sad to hear of his passing. May his memory be a comfort to his family and friends. He will be missed!!

I just found out this horrible news. I am shocked! He was taken far too early . Every time I  saw him I told him how I wished I had met him 30 years ago so he could have delivered my kids. BH I met him in time to take  my daughters to him before their weddings. And then he became my doctor who helped me with so many things. He was so easy to talk to and so kind. His warmth and wisdom just radiated from him. What will my daughters and I do without him now! he is not replaceable. I hope his family is comforted by how his patients loved him.
I hope he watches from above and takes care of his family and his patients too!

My Sincere Condolences to His Family. He was my doctor for 25 years. I moved from NY to Texas but still traveled back, just to keep my annual appointments with him. I happened to call last Wednesday and I was just told he was on a medical leave. My husband attended highschool with him so that’s how we were informed.  He adored his family , his Arizona escapes and his politics. He will he very missed. Rest in peace , friend. ❤️😢❤️😢❤️

Doctor Kuznits was my doctor for over 25 years. They couldn’t be a nicer more professional man than he, I was so sad to hear he passed, most people cringe when they have to come and have that exam. I looked forward to just seeing him. I was always comfortable and trusted anything that he would tell me because he was just an incredible physician. He will be missed by so many my deepest condolences to the family. God bless you, Dr. Kuznitz. RIP❤️🙏

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Kusnitz. I have the privilege of not only saying I was delivered by him, but that I was also a patient of his all these years later. He was truly one of a kind. He was kind, compassionate, warm & welcoming. I truly looked forward to my yearly check ups with him. My deepest  condolences are with his family, who he absolutely adored. Rest in peace, my friend.

That’s Jon Kusnitz dressed as The Scarecrow when we met in the 1970s!  (I was the Lion.)  Jon set a high bar for his personal morals.  Even at 18 years old, he had integrity beyond his peers.  We would have long conversations about the rights and wrongs in society.  In fact, his character turned out to be one of the best of all the people I’ve met in the last 49 years that I’ve known him.  Although I wasn’t of his faith, we would often talk about religion in a comfortable way.    Jon was naturally curious about his religion and studied on a daily basis.   

The world has lost a Good Guy who was a man of action.   Rest in peace, my friend.

I am so deeply shocked and saddened to hear about Dr. Kusnitz.  He was the most kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctor. He delivered my daughter and I have been his patient for almost 23 years. He always made me feel comfortable and was so calming, He was a true family man and was so proud of his children and grandchildren.  I will truly miss him and send my deepest condolences to his family.

Upon reading all the messages I am learning that everyone had the same experiences as I. I always felt like his favorite patient. We would laugh and joke like old friends. He always made me feel calm and relaxed. He was a master at his skill and always accessible and willing to help. 
My dearest memory is when I had a small issue and he advised me and said “I’m telling you what I would tell my own daughter”. Because, we, his patients, were also his family. I will never forget that gesture. It meant the world to me. 
Yehi Zichro Baruch

He was a #1 Doctor. I am so greatful that he delivered my first grandchild . Dr. Kusnitz then became  my gynecologist. I referred a number of woman to him ,particularly young frum women before their wedding day. He knew how to calm their nerves and make them feel comfortable with his exam. 
He is very much missed!
Thank you for enabling him to do what he did for so many.  המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך אבלי ציון ןירושלים

Beyond devastated to hear this news of such a kind, caring, smart, compassionate person and doctor.  All of the people who have posted here seem to agree on this point -- what a testament to who he was, and the legacy he left behind. 

Dr. Kusnitz somehow managed to make the yuckiest of doctor visits a place to laugh, to kibitz and maybe even kvell about our families a little bit.

We will all miss him so deeply and are thinking of his beloved family during this extraordinarily sad time.

Very thankful to have known him and to have been cared for by him.

I am so deeply, deeply saddened and heartbroken to hear of Dr. Kusnitz’ passing.  He was my doctor for 35 years and besides being one of the most attentive, gifted and caring doctors I’ve ever known, he was also one of the kindest, most gentle, and wonderful human beings that this world was graced with.  He went above and beyond for me and my family as his patients  and he was there for us during some of the most difficult points in life over the years.   It’s rare that you find a doctor as caring and compassionate as he was, and I am truly blessed and grateful that I was privileged to have him as my doctor for all of those years.  He was more than a doctor, he was a friend, and it was truly sincerely felt when he’d walk into the exam room and exclaim,  “Hello, my friend!” with that big smile of his.   My deepest condolences, prayers, and love to his family.  He spoke of you always with so much love and pride.  I will miss him more than words can convey.  May eternal light shine upon him and may he rest in peace.

I was a patient of Dr. Kusnitz.  He was a wonderful man, always making me feel special.
His kindness and empathy were always there when I saw him.
Dr. Kusnitz, rest in peace, you will always be rembered as the gentle soul you were and the goodness in your heart.

Dear Kusnitz family,

I was only a patient of Dr. Kusnitz but I am sending my most heartfelt sympathy  to you all. 
Dr. Kusnitz  had the most gentle soul. Visiting his office was not something I looked forward to. He was so kind and gentle that I honestly didn’t mind seeing him. I’d come home and talk to my husband about how much I loved him. 
Last time I saw him, I told him how fabulous he looked after losing so much weight. Now, I worry that his weight loss may not have been for the right reason . I just pray that there wasn’t sadness behind his eyes when I complimented him
I know for sure that his office staff and all his patients will miss him deeply.

May his memory be a blessing.🙏
Very sincerely, Carol Segev

My prayers are with the family. My greatest memory of this great man as 35 years ago when I was a nursing student and he told me I neeed a hysterectomy and I said when he said next week, I told DOC I have no insurance, he go to ER they will admit you.When the 6 hr operation was over I went for a follow up visit and asked DOC how much do I owe u  his answers was you don’t owe me anything I couldn’t believe what a beautiful man this was he will be greatly missed

I am completely devastated.  This wonderful man saved my life 25 years ago for which  I personally thanked him each and every year  on the anniversary of my surgery. Each office visit left me with a warm hug upon my departure.  Having had this wonderful human being as my doctor for 35 years led us to share commonalities such as our mutual  love for Arizona to sharing fun tidbits about our grandchildren. You will be deeply missed. Please rest in peace dear friend xoxoxo

This man was one of the most specialist humans I ever crossed in my life . He wasn’t just a doctor to me he was family . I been going to him since I’m 14 and now I’m 44 . I can’t imagine life without him . He was the best doctor on this planet . His heart was pure and his bed side manor was spectacular. Such an amazing soul . I send peace and comfort to his family . He loved his entire family so much . My heart is literally shattered .

I was so saddened to hear this. I was a patient of Dr. Kusnitz. He was the best doctor I've ever been to.  He was such a kind and caring person. Sending my condolences to his family.
With deepest sympathy,

I am so very sad to hear about Dr Kusnitz's passing,  i went to him for over 30 years and he delivered both my children.  He was an amazing doctor.  He always made me feel at ease.  He always asked about my family every year and spoke so lovingly about his family, especially his children and grandchildren!!!  He was a very warm and  amazing doctor and he will be sorely missed!!!  You don’t  have doctors like him anymore!!!!  May his memory be a blessing.

I am so  so very saddened to hear about Dr Kusnitz.  Not only did he deliver both of my kids over 30 years ago ,but he was such a genuine kind nice person and always made me feel so comfortable  during my exams.  He would ask about my kids during the exams and  made everything go so fast and seamless that you didnt even realize  that the exam was over!  He talked so highly and lovingly about his family and grandchildren and you could see him light up.  Sending deepest condolences and lots of love to his family. ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. K was a great dr to me for 30+ years. He was there when Dr. Gendal left the practice and he stepped in.  Kindness, patience, and knowledge of his field was incredible and I just found out today of his passing. He helped me through my breast cancer radiation and I am eternally grateful for him.  He was a proud family man and I always commented on the pictures he had in his office.  I will miss him and may his name be for a blessing.  With deepest sympathy to all who knew him.
