I often reflect on the life and work of Dr. Chandler, whose excellence as a physician remains unparalleled in my experience. His clinical acumen, intellectual rigor, and profound commitment to patient education fundamentally altered the trajectory of my life and the well-being of my family. Were it not for his insight and decisive care, I would not have my two sons today.
Dr. Chandler practiced medicine as both a science and a vocation. He empowered his patients through knowledge, modeled thoughtful and ethical clinical decision-making, and elevated the standard of care through compassion and accountability. His approach reshaped how I engage with healthcare-not only as a patient, but as a steward of my family´s health.
His legacy is enduring. Though I have encountered many capable clinicians since his passing, none have matched the breadth of his impact or the integrity with which he practiced. His ministry of medicine touched countless lives, and its influence continues to resonate. May he rest in peace.

I moved away from Chgo in 2012 but never found a Gynie that worked for me in my new city, was hoping he was back in practice. I would have returned just to be seen by him. My heart sank this morning when I saw this...rest in comfort Dr. Chandler

My condolences to the family of Dr. Chandler during this difficult time. Losing someone in death is never an easy pill to swallow. The pain of losing someone stings and hurts us very deeply. When that pain overwhelms us, rest assured we can be comforted by God Almighty (Psalms 94:19).
