Dr. Sarkissian delivered my son 30 years ago… this was my first child, I was young, didn’t know what to expect in labor, and Dr. Sarkissian was very kind and comforting. My condolences to his family
To The Family: I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sarkissian at SMH, he also was my physician, he was one of the best, he was not only my co worker, he also was my friend, cherish all of your memories, they will live forever in your hearts! R.I.P. my friend!
I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Sarkis for what was too short a period of time and that was only when the two of us had patients in labor at the same time. I found him to always be jovial and friendly and seemingly thinking about something humorous. Unfortunately, for me, I have not seen him for many years. You were lucky to have him for the family patriarch and I know that you will miss him.
May God bless the departed soul eternal peace and grant the place in Heaven.
May God also give the strength to all the family and friends the bear the loss and go through times.
We will keep you in our prayers
sincerely,
