I just found out this evening that Dr Ehrlich had passed away. He was one of my customers at Mills Tavern. I very much enjoyed getting to know him over these years, I will miss seeing him

I found out recently you had passed. I've been trying to compose a note that conveys the love respect and the many thank yous for your hands on my daughter Christy That enabled her to walk. Christy was born with 11 birth defects and a beautiful smile and sparkling blue eyes. 2 doctors performed surgery on her legs but she still couldn't walk. You were in the hallway as I spoke to the second doctor. You said you could help her. You did surgery and she took her first steps when she was 8. She...

I am so sorry to see this. Micheal was not only my teacher at MGH, he was my friend. I am sad to see him go. Hope he finds a squash court wherever he is.

I was speechless when I heard about the great loss of my former boss, Michael Ehrlich. We recently reconnected. I remember many of his patients, Bobby Bent, Yvonne Ponte and many more. He had an amazing sense of humor and a tremendous compassion for the sick and suffering. God bless you, Dr. E.

Throughout the years Dr. Ehrlich crossed my mind. I always hoped to see him in passing and thank him for being my doctor all those years ago. I was one of his pediatric patients & I never forgot who he was & what he had done for me beginning in 1991. This morning I woke up thinking of him hoping to send an email & ask him for guidance & hopefully some answers on any new technology that may help me live a more productive life. When my google search led me here I was crushed. I never got to say...

Rest in peace, Doctor. Sending my condolences to all who knew him. I am able to walk due to his care at MGH, and I am forever grateful!!

God bless Dr. Ehrlich. We brought our two year old daughter to the good doctor. His diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy was devastating but, he added that all my kids walk. And she did with his good counsel and my wife's heroic following of his detailed PT directions. My daughter, now in her 30s, is a business professional who travels the world and carries herself with confidence. Thank you, Dr. Ehrlich.

Dr. Ehrlich was my orthopedic surgeon for 13 years throughout that time every time I had to see him for a visit he always would make me laugh. I always just remember him talking into that tape recorder. And the bow ties!! He was always so thoughtful on time I went for a check up around Christmas time and I wanted to get him a gift so my mom took me to pick out a bow tie, he was so happy when he opened it. I also wrote a paper on him in high school about how he was my hero. Also, he is part of...
