I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Eilers last year. He was a wonderful attending physician to work with and actually wrote my letter of recommendation for residency. I wish I was able to tell him where I ended up and to say again how greatly I appreciated his support.
I will always remember his kindness and compassion for others (including animals) as well as his genuine interest in students' well-being and education. He will be missed!
I have fond memories of working for Dr. Eilers at the Austin, Texas VA. He was very supportive and kind, and set an example of hard work and excellence as a clinician. He was highly energetic and vigorous, sad and surprising that he left us so soon.
We are all so sad to hear about the loss of Dr. Eilers. I am sending my condolences to his family and wish all of you well and strength in this difficult time. Dr. Eilers was first my attending and supervisor. I learned a lot from him as psychiatry resident. Later he was my colleague and working just two doors beside me for several years at the VA in Dallas. He was a wonderful doctor, very well liked by his patients and well respected and appreciated by all of his colleagues. He was always very thorough in his work. He was a wonderful person to talk with and associate with, very warm and encouraging, we all miss him.
All the best to all
