Sidney V. Haas

Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas was born in Chicago on February 14th, 1870, but moved to New York City before starting school. He attended public schools in New York City and was admitted to the College of the City of New York in 1884. He was admitted to the Medical Department of New York University in 1892, and the following year transferred to the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University from which he received his M.D. in 1895. He was an intern (houseman) at Mount Sinai Hospital from 1896-8 and entered private practice in 1898. He married Helen Merill Patterson in February 1901 and was to have three sons, one of whom (Merill Patterson Haas) was to become a physician and co-author of his book "Management of Celiac Disease".

In 1951, Dr. Haas, together with his son, Dr, Merrill P. Haas, published The Management of Celiac Disease, the most comprehensive medical text that had ever been written on celiac disease. With 670 references to published research, the book described celiac disease more completely than had ever been done before.
