Sorry I'm a bit late to the party on this one. Was sorry to hear of Dr. F's passing. In 1991 Dr. Feldman all but diagnosed me over the phone for Narcolepsy. This after neurologists, another sleep center, eye specialists all missed it. 'You need to do an overnight sleep study....' Sure enough, he was right. He was passionate about sleep disorder awareness to the point where many local media outlets made him the local 'go to' guy when sleep issues were in the news. The medical community needs more docs who have a love for their chosen practice. Dr. Feldman had this and a genuine concern for his patients. He was also my favorite Larry David stunt double and had a great sense of humor himself. Another rare treat in his field. The resemblance was amazing.

Dr Feldman is the reason I am alive and well today. He got me treated for narcolepsy and I became a PA and have a family of my own and I owe it all to him. I just found this page as I was looking to send a family member to him. I am saddened to hear of his passing. What a great doctor! When I asked him why he was letting me pay such little money in order to be seen by him (as I lost insurance at some point there), he said “I never met a sleepy woman I didn’t like.” :)

Just saw this today. Aprox 15 months after Neil’s passing. Heard a man tell a pharmacist that his doctor, Neil Feldman has died and he was still searching for a doctor to replace him ! I said to myself “it can’t be THE Neil Feldman?!”
I searched online immediately and my heart sank
As an attorney, I worked in the 80’s and early 90’s with Neil before I left the practice for business.
What a guy- brilliant, funny, compassionate and kind.
God Bless Neil and his friends and family. Awful to hear.

My mother was treated by Dr. Feldman when she was dealing with sleep disorder issues during her pregnancy. He was an excellent and very professional doctor, also extending my family's visa to stay in America during that time. Now my parents have bought the condo that he lived in at the Signature Place downtown St Pete, so he will never be forgotten by us.

Dr Feldman was very passionate about his work. He often said whatever he was thinking which was part of his charm. One time he told me he was surprised I was thin still because most Narcolepsy patients were fat. He told me I would eventually be fat. Haha. Still hasn’t happened Dr Feldman. I spoke about religion with him, (Jewish vs Christianity) the latest news on Narcolepsy, and much more. He was a character and always had something interesting to say. He cared about his patients deeply and will be missed. -Angie H.

He said I had one of the most severe cases he’s ever seen. But through trial and error, he found what works for me. I am thankful Dr.Feldman never gave up. He was the best. Condolences to all family and loved ones. I am so sorry for your loss! My prayers are with you! Pastor Lori

I met Dr.Feldman around 1998 . I was refered by a friend. I couldnt stay awake and he did test and told me it was the worst sleep Apnea that he had ever seen . He put me on a bipap machine . After the first night I felt like a new man. My blood oxyvenlevel was so low he couldnt believe it . I continued to be his patient even though my Insurance changed and wouldnt pay. So I paid out of pocket . I live in Winter Haven and drove to see him when My appointment said .He taught me so much and I have convinced 15 people to get on Sleep apnea Machines. We became friends over the years . He saved my life and Im gonna miss my Friend Dr. Feldman. He always wished tbe best for me and my Family. I just had my 3rd Grandchild and I know that I wouldnt be here to see that day without him. Thank you Dr. Feldman. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

I just heard of Dr. Feldman's passing. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. He was such an amazing doctor. He helped me to make my life manageable and I always trusted him with me care. He always was looking out for my over health and care by providing me information to read up on and questions to ask my other doctors, which there are a few. I really feel lucky to have been a patient of his and I will miss him very much. Of all the doctors I have had, he is one of the three I have ever trusted and it’s not a short list. He really was an amazing pulmonologist and a lifesaver to me for years. I only wish I had a chance to get to know him on a more personal level being that he lived such an interesting life. I’m sure he will be sorely missed by many.

In the years when Neil was active at Palms, I spent many hours with him at the bedside of critically ill patients, usually in the wee hours of the morning, performing the surgical procedures needed in his patients' care. He was everything good that all have said in these notes. He almost single-handedly brought modern critical care to Palms.

I just learned that the good Dr passed away. I started seeing Dr Feldman several years ago after being referred by my trusted long time primary care doctor, Dr Crist. Dr Feldman diagnosed my problem and I soon started with my CPAP machine. He is certainly an expert in his field and his knowledge was exceptional. Over time I learned we were born in the same year and he was only a few months older than me. I felt we had a certain bond and I am very sad he passed away. My next appointment with him was scheduled in just over 1 week on July 15th. I feel lost. My condolences to his family, work family, and friends.

Dr. Feldman changed the history of my family when he diagnosed my wife with narcolepsy, something that dozens of doctors had failed to do while she struggled with it for over 15 years. His treatment plan allowed her to live a normal life and complete a college education while raising three children. He then helped her mother, who he also diagnosed with narcolepsy after dozens of doctors had failed to correctly diagnose her for almost 30 years. Dr. Feldman's incredibly positive impact on my family's health and quality of life is impossible to overstate. He was incredibly knowledgeable in his field and always showed sincere care and concern. Our lives are immeasurably better because of Dr. Feldman. We will forever be grateful for having been fortunate enough to walk through his door.

Dr. Feldman was truly a gifted physician and he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. A year ago, a friend recommended that I see Dr. Feldman, after eight years of struggling with narcolepsy. I had failed the bar exam multiple times and was ready to give up. It didn’t seem possible for a narcoleptic to have a successful career, let alone a normal life. Dr. Feldman assured me that my fears were unwarranted. He went above and beyond to help me with medication, to educate me about narcolepsy and to provide encouragement when I needed it the most. I just saw Dr. Feldman in May, and told him that I had finally passed the bar exam, on my fourth attempt and that I couldn’t have done it without him. He was a physician of the highest caliber and I count myself blessed to have known him.

I just saw Dr. Feldman a month ago, I made a mistake and thought my appointment was in June instead of July. I'm glad that I did and got to see him one last time. I've been a patient of his since 1993. I always enjoyed our conversations during my appointments with him we talked about what he had been up to lately, what was the latest in the Sleep Disorder field and things that had gone on in my life. He was brilliant, funny, very compassionate and a patient advocate. A great man. I was shocked to hear of his passing when I called the office today. My deepest condolences to his loved ones. He was a gem.

I always thought Neil would live forever!
My mother had become his patient in the 1970s and could not say enough wonderful things about him. He often said that she had built his practice with her referrals to him.
He was also my hero.
It offered me a job in 1981. I had asked him if he needed any letters from my professors for my various training programs. He said "I don't need any letters, I know your mother".
Classic Neil Feldman!
I always looked forward to seeing him at the sleep meetings where we would reminisce and talk about what we could've done in Saint Pete had we been partners.
Not joining him in practice and moving from California back to Florida was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I know we would've had a wonderful time.
Over the years I have thought of him often and quoted him to my colleagues.
I share the sadness all of those whose lives he touched over the years and extend my sympathy to his family and loved ones.

First I want to thank those who put together this video. It is lovely to see his smiling face and see him happy. I only learned of his death yesterday almost a week later. And I am still in shock. I will grieve him for a long time.
I was one of his patients for 22 years. I saw him twice a year. But I knew of him several years before. Saw a feature article in the newspaper about his work with sleep disorders and referred many of my psychotherapy clients to him.
Finally I referred myself to him in 1998. All of my life I had struggled with sleepiness. Often coming close to falling asleep at traffic lights. Once did.
In graduate school while studying neuropsychology, I wondered once again if perhaps narcolepsy was my problem. But I always found good reasons why I was so tired all the time. Always pushing myself.
During my first appt, he asked me why I didn’t come sooner
knowing I had studied the brain in grad school. I told him that my dad always told me I was lazy. Then Dr Feldman said words for which I will always be grateful. He said he knew I had a very good practice bc I referred to him frequently. And he said he now knew I had received my degrees after having 4 children which were still young at that point. Then he said,
“When do we get to the lazy part?” It was as tho he took a giant eraser on the chalkboard of my self-worth. Still makes me teary when I remember his words.
Yes he was sarcastic but he made me laugh and sometimes annoyed. Yes conversations with him were stimulating. Some of my appts lasted almost an hour if he had the time. He regarded me as a
colleague, which was a fabulous compliment. But mostly he was a caring human being. I concur with those who wrote above re his advocating always for his patients. As well as adhering to high moral and ethical standards.
I extend my deepest sympathy to his loved ones. You were blessed to have had him love you.

Neil was one of the most thoughtful individuals I’ve met. His wit and sarcasm led to constant intellectual sparring and his affable nature always made you feel welcome. His love for my mother and their outdoor adventures brought me personal joy. He served his country and he served people...he was just simply really good. It hurts and I’m still shell-shocked by the news ...it will take me a while to process. We were all so optimistic prior to his surgery and our last communication ended with smiles and positivity. Rest In Peace Neil. You are loved.

I was a patient of Dr Feldman’s for years as he managed and helped cure my sleep apnea. His quirky humor and straightforward demeanor were always entertaining; I loved listening to him as I would try to soak in his intelligent and innovative thoughts. Dr Feldman had grown so far in his field of medicine that he left other physicians far behind him with his knowledge of what was ethical , moral, and exceptional patient care. He was kind and I knew he cared about my well-being. I’m so very sad and disrupted to hear that he has passed away. I extend my deepest condolences to his partner, sister, and all family and friends who along with Dr Feldman’s patients will surely experience that our lives will be diminished without him in them.

Dr. Feldman is well known in this medical community for his passion to make a positive difference in patients' lives. He did this especially through his efforts in direct patient care, education and research. He patiently sought to directly teach those with sleep apnea on how to use their CPAP machine (even despite their reluctance to learn). He sought to teach physicians how to render better care. He continued to co-author peer reviewed manuscripts until this year. He was a pillar of extraordinary care in St. Petersburg, FL. NEIL YOU WENT TOO SOON AND YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Neil's family my heart goes out to you during this sad and difficult time. As you try to find ways to get through one day at a time, please find comfort from Isaiah 33:24 - And no resident will say: “I am sick.” God never intended mankind to get sick, grow old or die. What a beautiful promise at Rev 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Soon almighty God, Jehovah promises to resurrect those lost in death. (John 5:28, 29) Picture that, perfect life on earth with no sickness, pain or death! Warmest regards.
