I just learned of the passing of Dr Arnas, My heart is broken. He was such a wonderful man. I will never forget him. I started going to him when I was around 18 years old. He was so kind and compassionate when I had a miscarriage, made me feel everything would work out and it did. Then when I was having my daughter and scheduled for a c section on a Wednesday, she started coming on a Monday and he was not due back for Hospital hours yet (He was coming back from vacation) but my nurse called him, told him how scared I was and he came in just to do my c-section. Then when I got breast cancer, he called me at home, offered any help he could give, even giving me his home phone number if I needed to call him, as he told me he has known me for over 20 years and I was not only a patient but a friend. What doctors do this, Not many! I am so heart broken to learn of his passing and am so sorry I did not pay my respects to one of Gods best human beings. I truely loved him and send my prayers and love to his family. Sincerly, Rose Kiley a former patient and friend that was blessed to know him.
