To The Family of Dr. Zander,
I still cannot believe Dr. Zander is gone...I was in his office the week before he passed away and he was wearing a light colored shirt instead of the checkered ones he always wore with his bow tie...his beard was trimmed, when he came into the room, I commented how great he looked, he smiled, thanked me and said "I feel great" then laughed...Over 20 years he was our family Dr., his intelligence was amazing, he knew more than most Doctors and was not a pill pusher or an alarmist.
No one can ever replace Dr. Zander he was truly a legend in his own time...
He was never wrong about anything...I took everything seriously what he said....Once I even disagreed with him about a medication I wanted to try many years ago and in his gentle polite way he set me straight, he took the time to sit down and explained to me the history of this drug and why I should not even consider it...
My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 3 yrs ago and Dr. Zander did everything he could to help us. He knew more about this disease than any other Dr. around...
His office will never be the same without him...
He died too young, Dr. Zander will be missed deeply by ALL his patients...he had a sense of humor once I got to know him over the years..
I confided in him about a personal problem one day.....he replied to me, "Tell your priest what you want him to know, but tell your Dr. everything!"
May he rest in peace and if there is this place called heaven, he is already there....

Teri and family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. David and I worked together for many years at Guthrie. We got to know each other well and I recall many fond conversations with his dry sense of humor. I moved to Lourdes shortly after he did and continued to have an association with him. He was a wonderful, caring and knowledgeable physician. Much love and prayers for you all at this time.

I will miss Dr. Zander immensely.
He was my mom and dad's doctor, and
my brother's doctor, and my doctor. He
was the "old-fashioned kind of doctor" who
took time to get to know his patients. He
always made you feel comfortable. Miss
him already. My heart goes out to his family.

Was so very sadden by the news of Dr. Zander’s passing. He was my primary care physician for many years. He was an excellent physician and always took time to listen, a rare but wonderful trait in health care providers. Condolences to the family.

Both my wife, Joann, and I were deeply saddened to lean of the passing of David Zander and we extend our sincere sympathy to his wife and family. We could not have been more pleased with the doctor/friend relationship we had with him for more than twenty years. Not only did he probably save my life with a diagnosis that a local hospital had misdiagnosed, but time and again he walked us through our ailments sympathetically, professionally and effectively.
Every visit to his office was a positive experience as his quiet confidence calmed us and enabled us to see more clearly the path to healing. And we shared a common interest in the Russian novelists, sometimes comparing notes and insights into the characters they created. My on-going visual reminder of him is a book that he urged me to purchase (Oh, My Aching Back) - a book that has helped me considerably since applying its principles and exercises.
Dr. Zander, we miss you dearly.

I'm so sad to hear I've lost not only my Doctor of over 35 years, but a friend. Dr. Zander CARED about me, my family, my work, my activities because it all pertained to my health. His calm voice, his warm heart, was the best medicine anyone could be prescribed. His daughter, Katie, graduated with my daughter, Tara. He was a country boy, I was a farm girl. I always looked forward to seeing what bow tie he was wearing. What a genuine man. I'll never find another....nobody can match up to him. I'm sending love and hugs to his family. I'm so sorry.

Such a shock. I just saw Dr. Zander in May and can still not get over this news. He was such a great doctor who really took an interest in the life of his patients. He TRULY cared. He was also the primary physician for 2 of my sons and will be sorely missed. One of a kind in today's health environment. My condolences to his wife and all of his children. May our Lord welcome him and bless all of you during this difficult time. Kurt Mohney

My wife Beatrice (Betty) Blake started going to Susquehanna Medical Associates because she had become acquainted with a nurse practitioner from Broome Tech that was with that group. Through her, she met Dr. Zander whom she liked very much and so I switched to him also.
We were both so impressed with this young Dr. who was keeping abreast of the latest developments in the medical field and had a pleasing personality, that we followed him around the triple cities wherever he practiced. We not only considered him our Doctor, but also our friend! That's the kind of Doctor he was.
My wife Betty passed away a year ago February and he was so concerned with me and so considerate of me. He certainly was a great Doctor and a Good Friend. I was so shocked to read of his passing. I will truly miss him as a friend and Doctor. I feel sorry for all of his family and other patients and friends. He will truly be missed by everyone who ever came in contact with him.

The Zander family; our hearts & deepest sympathy go out to the entire family.
Dr. Zander was my primary doctor for many, many years. He joined up with Dr. Sterling Boyd many years ago in Endicott, NY & when Dr. Boyd left to move to Florida Dr. Zander became my primary & a few years later my husband joined us. We had a lot of respect for him & considered him a good friend to us also. I could always put a smile on his face when I kidded him about his bow ties & the beards he grew. John saw him two weeks ago with an infection & didn't want to go right away but told Dr. Zander that Nurse Rachet (myself) sent him in to be cared for. John said he laughed like the devil. I'm glad John has that moment to remember him.
We will always remember his kindness, his smile, his empathy & the great care he always gave to us over many years. We will never forget him & may God hold him in the palm of his hand.

I worked with David for many years. As a surgeon I could rely on him to provide the best care and preparation for our shared patients. He always was responsive to my requests for help at any time. I appreciated his "old school" approach: a careful history and physical examination, listening to a patient and giving time to consider various important elements in answering the needs I, and more importantly, the patient had. He will be missed but not forgotten.

A friend, first, a physician, second. My deepest condolences to my dear firiends, Terri, Courtney, Pixie, and Tommy, as well as the rest of David's family members. He was taken way too young. I will miss his kind and thoughtful ways, as well as his serious attention to his patients. God bless him and those who loved him. He will be keenly missed.

With great sadness is the passing of Dr. Zander. He was our family physician for over 30 years and we will miss him greatly. He was one of the most dedicated and caring physicians I have ever known. He never rushed you in an appointment and was always willing to spend those extra minutes chatting. God Bless him and his family, and may he rest in eternal peace.

Dr.Zander was one of a kind. He will be missed by so many. I hadn’t seen him in years but my mother still lives in the area and has been a patient since the 1970’s. I know she will miss him greatly and will never find a Dr as kind, concerned and knowledgeable as he was. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May it help you to know he was loved by so many and his life and practice meant so much.

My sincere condolences on the loss of Dr. Zander, your family member, a great man. Dr. Zander has been my primary care physician since my previous doctor (Dr. Pathman) passed away several years ago. I thought very highly of Dr. Zander the whole length of time he treated me - he was very knowledgeable, very compassionate and personable, and very thorough in his treatments. He sincerely cared about all his patients and listened to what we had to say about our physical concerns. Again, my very sincere condolences and sympathy for his family and all his other patients. May he Rest In Peace and may God be with him.

I am sad to hear of Dr. Zander's passing. I became a patient of his at Susquehanna Medical and followed him to his other offices. Besides the great care I received from him, I liked the way he "thought out loud," and explained his decision-making processes to us. I also enjoyed his quizzing us about various aspects of our care. Both added to our understanding of our bodies and their maintenance.
