Dr. Gentili spent much of his career at The University Health Network (UHN). He helped countless people with hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida throughout his time there. UHN presented a touching tribute to him. Part of their tribute is a wonderful video. It features Dr. Gentili discussing life as both a physician and patient. A deep-seated need to make the world a better place fueled his dedication to medicine.
