“We lost a close colleague, wonderful teacher, mentor and friend of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes. He will be very much missed,” said Dr. Ernesto Bernal-Mizrachi, Professor and Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes.

Lawrence M. Fishman, M.D., touched the lives of thousands of patients, students, trainees and colleagues in a 41-year career as an endocrinologist with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Miami. After retiring in 2008, he continued to serve as professor emeritus before his death on January 27 at the age of 87.

Dr. Lawrence M. Fishman was a bastion of the medical field in life. An educator. A lifesaver. A mentor. All things that come to mind for Fishman’s friends and family when remembering his legacy.
