Roger Perez was not only a very qualified MD. He was loved by his patients for his human touch and the special care and reassurance he provided to them in hard times. This exceptional human contact and his prominent role at the American Hospital of Paris, made his role extend far beyond his speciality. Among thousands of grateful patients, several heads of state and important personalities sought his advice on medical issues. Always striving for excellence, he had a real taste for teaching, a great sense of humour and an uncommon talent for always asking the right questions.
