When our second daughter was 6 weeks old, the Eisworth/Hannan team came to Zachary. They saw patients in a extra ER room.

I went with our second daughter as an infant because she was not sleeping well at 6 weeks. Our oldest was 3 1/2.

After checking both of our daughters out throughly, he said “I can give you something to help the baby sleep, but my main concern is your older daughter”. Shocked us! We had noticed bruising, but thought it was normal.

He got blood drawn immediately! Long story short…He SAVED HER LIFE. She had NO PLATELETS, AND ANTIBOTIES ON HER RED BLOOD CELLS. He took us HIMSELF, to N.O. when he found out a team of Hemotologist were at the big charity hosp doing studies.

They took our daughter, took bone marrow, and came up with the plan, (cocktail) of meds. It took 2 years to cure her, but HE, and his staff were like family to us.

Walter, rest in peace dear heart.

Dr. Eisworth was our son’s doctor and was so kind to us after we lost him.

He met with us late in the evening at his office after he went over the coroner’s report. He explained everything to us and put our hearts and minds at ease that our son passed from SIDS and there was nothing that we had done wrong as parents.

His words, kindness and reassurance is something that we will never forget and something that helped us keep our sanity and was instrumental in us being able to get through such a devastating time. I am so very sorry for you and your family. Just wanted to share with you what an important role he played in our lives.

I had a 2 year old and a 4 year old and gave birth to a premie. Though he wasn’t our doctor, Dr. Eisworth took on the care of my premie. He met with me every morning at his office before hours to check her vitals and weigh her and ensure she was viable.

As she continued to grow he continued to monitor for three months. He never charged me. When we had an illness, he treated all three for the price of one. He would give me samples of medications so I didnt have to pay for prescriptions. His love and care and true nurturing nature will always stand out. Dr. Eisworth was truly a physician called by God. May God bless him and his family.

So saddened to hear of the loss of Dr.Eisworth. He was all of my children’s pediatrician back in the early 80’s until they outgrew him. He was always gentle and loving with them. As a very young mother who already had a 2 yr old then had twins, too, there were so many times he would only charge me for one when he would check all three.

He cared for my twins when they were sick weeks early constantly by there side at Lane for a month. It would be hard these days to find a man with such generosity and compassion. I will never forget his kindness. My prayers are with the family.
