I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr Adelson. I worked at Shore Heart Group Neptune office from 2000-2001. Dr Adelson was always kind to everyone!! I worked in the billing office and he would always say hello. I am sure all his patients miss him. Thoughts and prayers for all his family and friends.

Dr. Adelson was my cardiologist after I gave birth to my daughter in 2001. When all of the other doctors told me it was too risky to have another child, Dr. Adelson told me it was OK - "I will take care of you" and he did. My son turned nine in October and he is here today because of Dr. Adelson. I am forever grateful to him. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Folks,
I'm so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I was a fellow classmate of his at SUNY-Binghamton--many years ago now. A few years ago we had a brief e-mail conversation about his practice and his family. He was so proud of both. Such a terrible loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Adelson family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I recently heard about your loss from family members whom I had referred to Richard for cardiac care. I worked with him several years ago when I first came to the area to practice and he welcomed me to the medical community. He was a brilliant physician and sharp- witted. I wish you and your family peace in knowing that he is no longer suffering.
With Sympathy,

Dear Mrs Adelson and children,
I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace some day and may your husband rest in peace forever.
He was my cardiologist since 1997. He was not only a brilliant cardiologist he was humble enough to "act "as my primary care physician suggesting the best specialists and also the correct official primary care physician. He also cared about the grand daughter that was living with me.
I miss him all the time and will keep both him and your family in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Gail Wilson

Dr. Adelson saved my life in 2004 when no one else knew what was wrong. He cared more about me than just being his patient. Even when I moved away he recommended the Dr. I see now and his recommendations are still followed to this day. Saying THANK YOU seems so insignificant for what he has done for me. He will be sorely missed and for all of us he has touched and we will all be at a loss for it.
