I was Dr. Ginsburg’s 1st patient at Gateway Regional Medical Center. He not only freed me of pain, but saved my life by suggesting a surgery I needed. He was a great doctor and a friend.

My heart breaks for your family! I had known Fred for many years as I also spent time practicing at Gateway Medical Center! I loved the lunches we had eating Mexican and other places often and talking about the Rams and the trips he was going to go on! He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren so much! I loved him sharing those recent photos of the grandkids! He was very supportive of helping me start my own practice as well and I will never forget that! We will miss him! RIP my friend!

My thoughts are with Ashley and her family in remembering a wonderful father who always enjoyed being around his family and grandchildren. It was evident that he supported his family and wished them only the best. He is remembered having a great smile and good conversation whenever we met as family. He will be greatly missed.
Fondly,
Greg and Nancy(Tim’s (Ashley’s husband) aunt and uncle.)

I hope that Dr. G received the same compassion and care that he provided to his patients and co-workers because he certainly deserved it. He will be remembered for those qualities. I will remember him as friendly and compassionate.
