A very special person, he will be missed
A tzaddik in our generation
A real special Jew in every single way. He’s caring his love His selflessness. Never thinking about himself only about others
He taught me so much. A true chosid. He taught me about the ohel. He told me about patients still being sent to him by the rebbe. He told me of a mother whose child was deathly ill. The mother while at the ohel suddenly knew to take her child to a dr feldmam who she never had heard of. She had to ask who is dr feldman. Dr feldman saved the child’s life. Dr feldman told me “dont underestimate the power of the ohel, and when you get a thought there, know its from Hashem and listen to it.”.… Read more »
Unbelievable person.
This hurts too much!
He looked after us with love and care and spent time with us no matter how busy he was BDE
Bde. It’s very hard to see this. Dr Feldman I love you very much! I have no doubt you are reunited with your wife and son in heaven!!!! Me and my family will always remember you!! Crying as I type. Condolences to the family and entire community!
How much can one family take? May Hashem only give you open and revealed brochos!
BDE He was our family doctor for over 40 years,we were of his first patients. No words
Can describe the heartache.
Bring Moshiach now.
He was very accessible and always pleasant. Knew how to heal. BDE
Such sad news. Baruch Dayan Haemes.
עד מתי??????
People have no idea the depth of this loss. One of a kind has been taken from us. BD”E
Dr. Feldman was all heart. When I was ill he drove himself to drop off my medicine outside my door! A humble and very kind Doctor. May he be remembered as the Dr. who put his patients first. I was fortunate to know him many years. May his nashama be lifted very high. You did it both Humble Doctor with a solid gold heart. I’m sure when you see the Rebbe he is so proud of you dear friend of the community. ! No one can replace the dignity you gave to “All” of your patients!
Bob was a very special individual. He was totally “mufshat” from this world. He would show up at Simchas late at night restless and gazing at his watch as he had to return to a busy office. He lived entirely for the Rebbe and his patients without leaving a minute for his personal needs. But no matter how busy he always remained patient, kind, and totally focused on the person in front of him. What a terrible loss this is for the community.
Beyond special, he lived ro help others 24/7 and helped patients of other Drs when others couldnt find a cure
Incredible man – he always put others first and dedicated his life to the community. He will be missed by all. Always in our hearts ♥️
Dr. Feldman was a doctor in the truest sense of the word. He not only went above and beyond in his utter service and devotion to his patients, but he took the time to listen and to hear all they had to say. He taught and guided every step along the way. As a new mother, and through every stage of life along the way, he was there, advising, guiding and teaching. His patience was profound. His bitachon and emeskeit were admirable. When Dr Feldman said all is good, it WAS good!! What a tremendous loss to the world! May… Read more »
Dr Feldman bless his soul! He was a kind sensitive person. He was genuine and caring. He treated his patients as if they were his own children.
A true yiras Shamayim. Always gave over a good vort. Especially with gematrias.
He will be greatly missed.
A big loss to klal Yisrorel.
Moshiach Now!
He dedicated his life to the community as a Rofeh Yedid.
Much helpful medical guidance.
He gave his patience his time. Some visits, he would share a dvar torah or Gematria.
He would have a sense of humor when dealing with the kids.
We are truly shocked and saddened.
May Moshiach come right now and heal those who need it.
Very very sad news.he was a real רופא ידיד.
Baruch dayan haemes.
BDE This dear man Dr Robert Feldman made such a huge difference for me nearly 6 months ago when I suddenly experienced piercing pains in my left hip while working with young children in a day camp and then I found my myself unable to walk or stand or to tie my own shoes for that matter. He took such care to make sure I got an MRI right away because he saw the enormous pain I was in and took it very seriously. He then administered Japanese magnet therapy into my ears (both front and back) and after studying… Read more »
What!? How can that be?
I was in his office 3 days ago, and he took care of me like always.
I can’t believe this!!
He will be very greatly missed. Baruch Dayan Haemes
He always took the time needed to care for his patients. While most doctors have barely 15 minutes or less to treat patients Dr. Feldman was an old school doctor who treated all of his patients to the time needed with care, concern and wisdom. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed by this community and beyond.He was such a sweet man with a beautiful smile.
אין מילים שיכולות לתאר את הכאב
ד״ר פלדמן היה איש גדול ומיוחד
. אפשר לכתוב עליו ספריה שלמה
The news is devastating. We have lost a special neshama. Our family was lucky to have known him for over 40 years. He was a great shliach of the Aibishter. He took such good care of all of us so selflessly. Can’t imagine not knowing he is not here. Such a great loss BDE.
For the 15 years I was lucky to daven near Dr. Feldman in 770 for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, I saw him as a true chosid, with dedication to our Rebbe, he loved davening in 770 and would not consider going elsewhere. (The last couple years because of COVID he davened elsewhere. I met him after RH and told him I missed him, he said he really wanted to daven in 770, but the community doctors were advising against it and to keep the message consistent he davened elsewhere – a true mentch). I saw him totally dedicated to… Read more »
By way of introduction, I would like to say that during the period of time (1990-92) the Rebbe was dealing with some type of infection on his foot. Dr. Robert Feldman would generally come twice a day (sometimes even 3 times a day) in order to clean and dress it. I would like to point out his mesiras nefesh and devotion to the Rebbe. When the Rebbe was ready to see the doctor, he would tell Rabbi Groner that Dr. Feldman can come. When Dr. Feldman arrived in 770, Rabbi Groner would tap lightly on the door and wait… Read more »
Dr Feldman wasn’t just any doctor a regular doctor sees a patient during work hours and that’s it Dr Feldman was there to help around the clock he would always answer his phone he saved my life when I was coming of drugs he sent me to the right place when I was withdrawaling he called me every day at that time to make sure I was ok if it was late and cold at night he would offer to drive you home from the office if you couldn’t afford to pay for your medicine he would find a way… Read more »

BDE
An angel has been ripped from our midst!
A Rofeh Yedid in the truest sense! There are no words that can describe the humbleness yet greatness of such a human being! We are all broken together with the family.
May we see Dr.Feldman swiftly down here with
the coming of Moshiach Now!!
I do not know where we would be today without Dr. Feldman always there while we raised our children; we are talking about decades.
Mrs. Feldman was alongside him allowing him to be dedicated to the community on a personal basis.
Yitzy there son was a wonderful assistant in the office always trying to accommodate us with appointments.
DR. FELDMAN WE MISS YOU ALREADY!
With all your gematrias you can figure out when Moshiach will be revealed already and bring us all back our loved ones.
My wife’s family has known him from before he moved to crown heights and he saw and treated five generations of our family members a few times when friends and family members were going from doctor to doctor without finding a cure we sent him to Dr Bob and he usually found a cure, he suffered a lot this past year with the loss of his son and then wife but he kept going with strong emunah in recent years when we told him he needed to relax and take a break his answer always I can’t Rebbe won’t give… Read more »
Dr. Feldman never closed his office until the last patient was seen, even if that was 2 in the morning.
He cared so much about every person.
There will never be another doctor so thorough and caring as he was. He was the best doctor of all time.
The world lost a wonderful person today! I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Feldman for years and spent many yom tovim with him and his wife Miriam at the home of their daughter Sorah and her husband Rabbi Levi Shemtov. He was a kind and gentle man who loved to tell stories. He had a passion for learning and shared his knowledge of Judaism and medicine often! He and his wife welcomed guests into their home for Shabbos! He was always available to speak to people and I remember seeking his advice when my own father was sick and… Read more »
Great Yid
BDE he was a very special person and giant of a man. He once told he never took a vacation since taking up his post. He truly devoted himself to others.
over this loss to our community. I have never met such a special, caring Doctor in my life who gave 200% and undivided attention to every patient. Thank you so much to Dr. Feldman and family for caring so much.
