"My heart hurt hearing such news, Alex was such an amazing, caring, loving person as a Mount Sinai Employee I was privileged to meeting him. But I was honored to having Dr Alexander David Chun take care of my mother . About 3 years ago my mother was diagnosed with a bacteria, in which she had to under go several surgeries by dr sendzischew, I do recall many time Alex coming by showing our family amazing love and support. When many were giving us no hope, there he was helping us stay strong day by day. It was a little over 100 days his support made a huge difference in our life's . From the day he came out to give us the horrible news about the bacteria and her emergency surgery to spending day by with us I will forever be thankful. Just a few weeks ago we were laughing and joking about his previous injury . My his soul rest in paradise, my his family gain all strength needed to pull thru..
Alex will forever be missed, loved and appreciated!!! "
