The Fuentes house was my second home growing up. Dr. Fuentes and Dr. Milanes were practically my second parents. I have too many fond memories to even begin to mention. To my oldest friend Sergio and the entire family, Barbara and I grieve your loss and and will hold all of you and your mother’s soul in our prayers. Eternal Memory!
For the past 20 years, Dr. Milanes has been my go-to doctor for OB and GYN issues. She always took the time to listen, never rushed on to the next patient, and followed up with tidbits of advice for me. She will be greatly missed by me and by many others, I do not doubt. To Sergio and the entire family, my deepest sympathy to you all and my prayers but know that she’ll continue to watch over you all. Peace and God bless you.
I love you Grandma.
We love and miss you.
I have been going to Dr.Milanes for 50 yrs. I am really gonna miss her. She always remembered all my kids names. She always asked about them especially my son. She talked to me for a long time when she found out my son died. God Bless You
I was thinking about her today, I did not know she had passed away. I am sad to hear this. I owe her so much graditude… she made it so i could have children.. I will forever love her for that.
My aunt is in the hospital today very ill. As I was sitting there in her room as she dosed in and out of sleep. When she woke up for lunch and as I was feeding her, she asked me do you still see the women doctor you love so much and is she still delivering babies? I laughed and said that I’m sure Dr. Malanes is still bringing babies in the world. I decided to look her up to say “hi just thinking about you”. I didn’t know that she had passed away, she was such a blessing to me and I will never forget her. She saved my life and that can never be forgotten. Dr. Milanes rest in peace, I love you.
I had no idea she had passed!! 🙁 she has been my one and only Ob/Gyn …my condolences to the family! She will be greatly missed she was the best ever! 🙁
I haven’t seen Dr Milanes for a couple of years and I was just searching for her office number to make an appointment when I saw this site. I am very sad. She was such a wonderful woman and an amazing doctor. My condolonces to her family and patients for losing an amazing person.
I had no idea beautiful Dr. Milanes has passed. I just visited her former partner who became my OBGYN after Dr. Milanes retired. She was my first child’s ob and my mother’s OBGYN for all or her children including myself. What an amazing woman. Dearly missed
