    When I got the news that Dr. COOMBS had passed away my heart was immediately broken. I ran to my room and locked.my self in and cried my eyes out. I have been his patient since he had his practice in Valley Springs. He wasn’t just my Dr. He was my friend. He was absolutely genuine when it came to his concern of his patience. I will miss him but I know he will stay dear to my heart ❤️.

    I’m heartbroken to hear of Dr. Coomb’s passing. He was the most caring, kindhearted physician I have ever had. He was so patient and took time to explain things clearly to me so I could understand what certain test results meant.

    I will remember him fondly every time I wear my tie dyed shirt that he liked so much! How can I ever find another doctor of his caliber? R.I.P.

    I knew Jack from his affiliation with Good Samaritan hospital in San Jose. I was lucky to have found him here in the healthcare system. He’s been my PCP since Valley Springs. Jack will be sorely missed, more as a friend! My heart goes out to his family and friends.

    I loved Dr. Coombs he was the best. He was so kind and understanding when I lost my sister. Then a few months later I lost my BFF . Dr Coombs knew my BFF and I was just so lost but he was kind and he talked to me like he always did. He really took the time and would listen . I will dearly miss him. Thank you Jack Coombs for being the doctor that you were. R.I.P. Fly High

    Dr. Combs was a knowledgeable, compassionate doctor who took the time to listen to his patients and answer their concerns and questions. He will be greatly missed by those who were privileged enough to be his patient.

    R.I.P to Dr. Coombs. To his family and close friend’s, my sincerest condolences. He was a doctor that was professional 1st, and could make me laugh. He made me feel like I was taking to a friend, a very smart and funny friend. He was a character.
