Respectfully,
Mohammed Awaad, MD, FACC

Thank you for all you did here in Central / Middle Georgia.

He was a great Dr to my dad,Mr Joe W. Beasley and our family

This is Kim the physical therapist.   I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Othman.   He was an outstanding physician and I have been so glad to know him these many years. Kim

I am so, so sorry for this tremendous loss.  I met Dr Othman as a new nurse in the late 1980's at the Medical Center of Central Georgia and then worked for him at his outpatient hemodialysis centers. He was a true visionary, raised the bar for patient care, and I learned so much from him -- how many times he'd say, "Culpepper, come here, let me show you something!"  Nephrology, hypertension, diabetes, assessment, what caring and generosity really looked like, and just how to be a better nurse.  I loved, loved his sense of humor and attention to detail.  He was the most comprehensive physician I've ever met, knew his patient's inside & out, and made sure they were well cared for before he left the facility.  How he hated those midnight calls when something changed! I can still see him flying down I-75 or into the parking lot on two wheels in that red convertible -- he never did anything slow.  My world's a better place for having known him.

FROM ALLAH WE COME AND TO ALLAH WE RETURN
I'M sorry to hear the passing of Dr. Othman, he was my Physician for over 20 yrs. . Whenever he would walk in the room, he surely raised my spirit up with the greeting of AS-SALAAM ALAIKUM.
What a wonderful brother he will surely be missed in middle Georgia  and may Allah grant him Jannah.

I had the privilege of being Dr. Othman’s patient for over thirty years.  He was an excellent and compassionate physician, who through his great expertise enabled me to avoid dialysis while waiting for my kidney transplant. I will miss him, and always remember him with great fondness.

Dr. Othman was my husbands doctor before he passed away in  1995.  He was one of the most caring and dedicated doctors that I have ever met.  I will pray for comfort for his wife and family.

Wonderful Physician. He will be greatly missed.’

We have known Mufid Othman as a trusted colleague, a true and loyal friend, and as patients receiving the best care modern medicine could offer for over thirty years.  As a coworker you knew that he would carry more than his share of the load.  As an employee you recognized him as a strict but compassionate task master demanding the best from all those around him.  As a patient you rested easy in the confidence that you were being cared for not simply by a competent professional, but as a true friend as well.  To paraphrase one of America’s most lettered poets:  Mufid these woods are lovely dark and deep, you have run the course and earned your sleep.  Rest in peace my true and loyal friend.

My mom (Onita) worked for Dr. Othman and she adored him…She talked about Dr Othman and how great of a doctor he was…
My sincere condolences go out to Mrs Aida and the family…May You be given strength and healing thru this time of bereavement…..

Dr. Othman will be missed by many. He is one individual that gave me a chance when no one else would and for that I am forever grateful. He has built a legacy that is everlasting. My deepest condolences to everyone.

I send lots of love and prayers to the family of Dr. Othman. He was an amazing doctor that I loved to work with. I talked about him so much at home to my husband that even though my husband never had the opportunity to meet the “Great Dr. Othman” he always asked if I had seen him that day and what new information he shared with me. He was excited to hear my stories of the day I worked with Dr. Othman.

My Condolence, to his wife and family, praying for your strength.  As a nurse, everyone new about Dr. Othman love for his patients and his staff at the Dialysis Center and his homeland Jerusalem . He introduced me to Bear Den at Thanksgiving and Christmas time , dinner for his patients and staff and what it was to get Christmas Bonus.  Now,  you can work on a job for  30years and never receive anything , , he cared for his employees as well as his patients and he showed it by rewarding them.  Once in the Milledgeville Dialysis Center,  he was making rounds and Ms. H needed to go hospital, and transportation hadn't arrived, he took her in his Red convertible car.  He said I am going to Macon so I will take her, another client Mr. J said he did not have any money to get his medicine, he immediately open his WALLET and gave him $20 , dollar and told him  , go get your medicine .     Truly  he will be miss .

Dr. Othman , greatest physician I have encountered in my Nursing career.   His compassion for his patent came first, no matter where they came from, he treated them  with dignity and respect regardless of the social status , race, or sex.  He hired me as a hemodialysis nurse for his Milledgeville Center, while my father had been referred to him due to kidney failure, my mother did not understand what he was saying and telling her about my father,  she told him my daughter is a Nurse and asked him to talk with me about his problem.   After conversation about my father, he asked me to come work in his Milledgeville office, he said I will train you and you will make more money than what CSH pay you, Call Kathy Kent and she will get the ball rolling, no application got hired on the spot.  Worked dialysis in Milledgeville Center and Charge Nurse at Macon Center and Acute Center in Macon.   He was well ahead of the game with establishing dialysis centers in the Mid -Ga Area.

So sorry to hear of dr othman passing...he was such a compassionate  man for his patients. He took loving care for my wife Debbie Turner that had two kidney transplants..I know they are reunited in heaven.Prayers for the family address as dr othman will be missed dearly.........Tony

Aida and Samer and family, 
I am so sorry for your loss.  Dr. Othman was a man I'll never forget... kind, gentle, loving.  I especially remember when Gaye worked with him, and the kindness showed her.   Love you all.

I was blessed to work with this caring man about four years & he lovingly cared for my parents until their death. So grateful for his fierce determination for good medical care for his patients. He was sure to remind me to watch my weight whenever he saw me.  He will be missed.

Dr Othman just know you will be terribly missed.  I am at a loss for many words but wanted to say I throughly enjoyed the eight plus years I worked for you. To the family thank you for sharing this wonderful Doctor with  so many of us, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Othman was the ONLY medical provider my mom trusted. I didn’t understand what the raving was about until I witnessed first hand the kind of fire he had for taking care of others. It felt like having a family member who just happened to be your doctor. He will be missed and we send our condolences and love to the family.

Dr. Othman was one of the best. I will always remember him with much respect  and love. If every doctor cared about their patients as he did we would all  be so much better. Praying for his family. Faye Swicord

I was deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Othman’s passing. I had the privilege of meeting him nearly 20 years ago, and he left a lasting impression that I will always carry with me. His reputation among former students was so profound that when I was in a difficult situation, an ER doctor called him to consult on my behalf, a testament to the respect he commanded. She had stated he was the only person she knew who might be able to help me.

Reflecting on my experiences with Dr. Othman, I am reminded of his unique and unwavering commitment to his work. He had a rare combination of being both direct and compassionate, always ensuring his patients felt part of a team when discussing treatment options. His patients came first. He didn’t hesitate to speak up if he felt others. weren’t meeting his high standards for his patients.

Dr. Othman was truly one of a kind, and his loss is felt deeply. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and know that he made an indelible mark on the lives of those he cared for.

With deepest sympathy,

Tam “Giesele” Green

Hello  Aida and Samer,
  I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mufid. He was such a good man and respected physician in the Macon community. I always enjoyed seeing him in the hospital with his bright smile. I know he was so proud of you Samer as we all are. Minor Vernon

Dr. Othman was one of the kindest physicians I worked for. I first met him as a new graduate nurse when I was working in the EC. He was caring and compassionate about his patients. I later went to work for him in the dialysis center. Our professional paths continued to cross during our careers. He will be greatly missed.  I remember how excited he was when he became an American citizen. I can still see him waving his American flag in the dialysis center. I remember how excited he was when he got word his child Samar would be in his life. I am sure he was a great father and grandfather.  My prayers are for peace and comfort for his family.

Dr. Samer and family.  

May God's blessings be with you as you mourn the loss of your father.  

Bob McDowell

So sorry to hear of Dr. Othman passing. When was in the hospital his bedside was so genuine in his care for his patients.  I really appreciate his care for my health. He was very energetic and encouraging in helping me in my recovery.  Dr. Othman was a busy doctor, I wanted him to be my physician but he was not taking on any new patients. The patients who has the esteem pleasure to have him as their doctor was certainly in good hands. 
May the work he has done speaks for him! Reading all the condolences, him work is speaking right now. My condolences to his family and friends I am deeply sad for your loss. Blessings to each of you.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilehi rajioon. 
I and my wife Aqsa are deeply saddened by the passing away of Dr. Othman. I have known Dr. Othman since I moved to Macon in 1997. He was an excellent physician and was very passionate and caring towards his patients. He was very friendly to his colleagues and was always ready to help. He and his group had been kind enough to take care of my patients for last several years. He was very generous and always responded positively whenever I approached him for any donations towards any cause. 
May Allah SWT place him in highest place in heaven, Ameen. 
He will always be remembered in Macon community

It's hard to know how to describe what an amazing life force Dr. Othman was and how profound his impact has been on the community.  Brilliant and compassionate physician, strong willed and driven business man, mentor to thousands of other medical providers.  I am privileged to call him a friend, advisor, and colleague.  I can think of 1000 stories of his unwavering commitment to improving patient care and helping his neighbors, as evidenced by the many notes written here.  
Although I am sad for the loss, I think Mufid would agree his greatest achievement remains in our midst.  We are blessed that his strength and character lives on through his son.  I am proud to call Samer a  friend and mentor also.

Dr Othman and his family have been friends for many years.  He was loved and respected by many and will be greatly missed.  Together, Aida and Mufid raised a fine son who is now like my third son.  Samer has a beautiful family.  My love and prayers during this difficult time.

I first came to know Dr Othman in the 70’s when my mother worked for him.  They became close as he respected her work ethics and he called her “Mother Virginia “.  I later worked for him at the hospital and recently became a patient in his group.  Dr Othman always provided the best of care for his patients and expected the same from his nurses and staff. He was truly a doctors doctor and a remarkable man.  Godspeed my friend. Truly a life well lived

How to begin?  Mufid Othman was a remarkable man and a brilliant physician. Fran and I feel such a great void in our lives with the loss of our friend. There was never a time in our lives in Macon that Mufid was not there for us. Our love and respect for this giant of a man is immense. He joked with me because he knew we probably had the same genes and he always called me his brother. On our last visit together about six weeks ago he told Fran and I that he loved us and expressed that who would ever believe that one of his dearest friends was Jewish!  To this point, the running quip was if anything new in medicine was on the market, he would try it out on me.  If it worked, he would take it. I think Mufid was one of the smartest physicians I have ever known and I have the utmost respect for the knowledge that he shared with me through the years. He was a very elegant man and his quiet manner always seemed to put his patients at ease. He demanded excellence from his staff because he was taking care of precious lives. Our admiration and respect for Mufid are beyond words. May his memory always be a blessing.
Fran and Alan Kirsh

Truly Sad news.
I got to know Dr. Othman only for a short while but it took no time to see his dedication to his patients and the hard work he put into their care. There was truly no quit in him.
I can only imagine what kind of impression he must have left in those who knew him much longer than I did.
To his family I extend my heartfelt condolences. I hope that you find some comfort knowing how he was loved and respected by so many of his colleagues. Truly sad news to hear.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Dr. J

Mufid was an extraordinary physician, dedicated teacher and friend.  His unwavering treatment of his patients was exemplified in his practice of medicine.  He was instrumental in the recovery of Nancy's late Father following complications from a surgical procedure.  May he rest in Eternal Peace.

Vincent Skilling, MD

Dr. Othman was an excellent physician. As a colleague for over 35 years, I witnessed the exemplary care he provided to his patients. He was never too busy to help with a difficult case. Importantly, he always did it with a smile. I treasure our memories together. Macon is much the better place for having Dr. Othman pass our way.
Joe Brogdon MD

Once @ Marco we laughed over desserts about soccer and food and life and love and work and family. It was the best conversation and I will always remember him for his smile and kind heart. He was always such a great motivator of how to live in love with your life. He will be sorely missed and I will always hold him and his family close to my heart. 💜 God bless.

Forever loved, missed and respected. A gentle giant....A humble soul. A true trailblazer of medicine and nephrology for Middle Georgia. I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to work beside such a medical genius. Your loyalty and dedication to the patients and staff shall be forever remembered! There will never be another like you....The works you have done speaks for you Dr. O and I will never forget you! Rest in perfect peace and power. Sincere condolences for Mrs. Othman, Sam, your beloved grands and family. May beautiful memories bring peace and comfort to us all.....You will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Othman as a new nurse years ago. He was always so pleasant and helpful. He definitely left his mark on the hearts of so many. Sending my deepest condolences to his wife and family.

RIP. He was a wonderful Doctor and. Great friend…

My name is latarsa davis unit secretary . I have worked with  Dr. Othman at regency hospital  for years. He would always hit me on my shoulder and say hey Tasha “ called me by my nickname.  He would tell all the nurses he want his patients up out of the bed then would start giving them stat orders  for patients. When he would see me at a dialysis clinics working part-time  He would always tell the  manager or staff they better take care of me.  He was an awesome doctor very smart and did not play about his patients. He will be missed but never forgotten.  I would like to send my  deepest  condolences to  his wife and family .

To Aida and the family, 
 Merry and I are thinking of you all during this most difficult time. We always thought it was special that we shared the same wedding anniversary date as you two.  I really treasured his and my relationship over all these years at the Medical Center and over 30 years as his patient.  I actually looked forward to my physical every year, knowing we could share some quiet family time, and also knowing he always had a few(?) suggestions(!) on how we in administration might do things better! I knew him to be the ultimate practitioner, very focused on the care and welfare of his patients. As well, he was so supportive of the Medical Center and our role in Macon and all of Central Georgia.  His passing will leave a void, but his contributions to the lives of his patients and all our employees will long be remembered! We will miss you, Mufid!

I pray that Dr. Othman’s family will find peace and comfort in the coming days.  Dr. Othman was my Dad’s  doctor and he saved his life when no one could.  Thank you for sharing your loved one with us the community.  He was the kindest most brilliant Doctor.  Rest in peace Doc.

I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. Dr Othman and I used to enjoy very spirited conversations about politics. I only worked for him in a temporary capacity for a few months but even years later when I would see him he always remembered me and we would sometimes have a quick chat about world events. He was absolutely a wonderful doctor, a wonderful human, and he will truly be missed. My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time.

I am very sorry to hear of his passing- my prayers to you all in this time of loss. I knew him professionally- the absolute best physician I have ever had the privilege of working with. I have the utmost respect for him. The medical field will never be the same without his knowledge and presence.

Dr. Othman was an A+ physian. He took excellent care of my mom and many other family members. I had the utmost respect and confidence in his abilities as a nephrogist. He had a true passion for his work. He loved his patients and they loved him right back. I had the pleasure of working with him and know first hand how great of a person he was.  He will be missed dearly.  There will never be another like the Great Dr. Mufid Othman. We will love you forever and your legacy will live on.❤️❤️❤️

The world will never be the same. He was truly a giant among men in his knowledge, his caring and his selflessness. He always made you feel you were his top priority and no doubt he meant it. May peace be in the hearts of all who crossed his path and let us all rejoice this angel is still watching over us, just from a new perspective. Much love and thanks to the family for sharing such a kind soul with us all.

A great loss to the community.  He was a great doctor, and kind man.

A life well lived!♥️ Thanks for your dedication to the community.

I am saddened to hear of Dr. Othman's passing. He truly was a driving force in the shaping of my career in healthcare and always had a smile. May the family have peace and love in the days to come.

To the Othman family, It is with true heartfelt condolences that I send to you in honor of Dr. Othman.  He was my absolute favorite Physician through out my career as a nurse and colleague. I always called him “Daddy Othman” because early on in my career he taught me so much at the bedside, how to fine tune my clinical skills and how to perfect the art of bedside manner! He never ceased to amaze me in how he could walk in a room to see a patient , lay hands on them and diagnose and have his full plan on how to treat them , even the most critical of patients.  He was the epitome of the Finest Clinician and was greatly respected by all that knew him!  I witnessed him countless times entering a patients room and he not only knew the patients full name and history but every single family members first name too! What a gift!! As an ICU nurse, I could call him at any time and if I had a concern about his patient he would make it a priority to come check on his patient. He was a fine man, a tremendous friend and I am a better nurse and person having the privilege of knowing and working with him! God Bless you Daddy Othman! You deserve all the riches of our Lords kingdom! Praying for peace for his family🙏🙏   Love, Amy Leggett Prince

In memory of the greatest physcian that I know.  He taught me so much during my 16 years of employment with him. Dr. Othman was a very hard working doctor who made sure his patients were taken care of. He changed my name to "Pat-Rice " when I started working for him and it will never change. "Take your rest", Dr. Othman.
I love you and your family.
Pat-Rice Woodard

This was crushing. Such a wonderful physician truly one of a kind and irreplaceable. So dedicated to his patients. I caught him studying the cardiovascular system not that long ago and was shocked to learn that he was constantly studying medicine. I just could  never imagine him not already knowing everything. 

His bedside manner and patience taught me early in my nursing career the difference between running in and out or sitting down and really listening. I will never forget him. 

To Dr. Othmans family, I am so sorry for your loss.

💐 My condolence and prayers gose out to the famila, I will keep you all in my prayers know that God makes no mistakes. Pray God will keep the famila under the shadow of his Beautiful wings . Nene Gray Dialysis

Inna lillahe wa inna ilaehe raajeoon. (To God we belong and to Him shall we return).
Dr Othman has influenced many lives. His patients love him and peers respect him. He has been a mentor to many of us in the medical community and we all learnt a lot from him. May he rest in peace and may God provide sabr(patience) to the family. Prayers for you all.

So sorry for Dr. Othman's passing. He was so caring and compassionate. He treated my mother for a good long time.

Finally you can rest in peace my friend. Thank you for all of your years of service to the nephrology community and all the people that you helped  A personal thank you from James and me.  Aida our thoughts and prayers are with you and Samer and your family. May God give you strength and comfort in what has been a rough road. He can now rest James and Shirley

Yes, we lost a GREAT man! He was a wonderful doctor and a good person. May his Memory be Eternal!!!

To the family I’m soo sorry for your loss and pain.   When I moved here in 2023.  Central GA Kidney Specialist was the very first job I work at.   I learned so much from Dr. Othman.  This man was a very dedicated Dr!   He loved his patients whole heartedly.  I remembered one day a patient didn’t have any medicines.   And we had samples  of everything the patient had.  Dr. Othman told me grab them samples and take to the patient house I was like this man love his patients.  You will truly be missed.   We love you and enjoyed working for you  with the good and bad days.   God will take very good care of and your family.   Love you.   Kristie Ragland
