Dr. Robert Thomas Schaller Jr.

This incredible physician saved my son as a newborn in 1991. We were under his care for four years and he said the most important words to me that I have ever heard. My son was born with birth defects, and he looked directly at me and told me it was not my fault. I had never felt such relief! The gift he gave me with his words and with his expertise is truly beyond expression. My son is now a thriving vocal artist! He performed with Disney for many years and continues to enjoy his Music...

In Oct 1987 - Dr. Schaller performed one of 3 neuroblastoma surgeries on our 15 month old son Bryan. 31 years later Bryan is a USNA grad, Dad to 5 children who came out of the foster system, a husband, and is pursuing PhD at GA Tech. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Schaller and we will never forget how he help 2 25 and 26 year old scared parents get through a terrifying time of our lives.

He was a wonderful humble gifted loving man who saved my little brother Abraham's life life 28 years ago . My brother looked him up the other day hoping to reach out to him and thank him for everything he did for him but sadly just found out he died 3 years ago . So to his loved ones if you are reading this just know he and his loved ones are very thankful and that he is doing well . Thank you Dr. Schaller may you Rest in Peace cause Lord knows you deserve it . Xoxo The Rizvi/Moore Family.

I know this is late in coming but I am saddened by the news of Dr. Schaller's passing. Back in 1979 he was the surgeon who saved my son Carl A. Mellberg III. I had brought him to Seattle Children's and he knew immediately that they couldn't wait another day to operate. My son passed away in 1980 and I left the Seattle area but have thought of Dr.Schaller often. I am sorry for his family and the world loss.

Dr. Schaller was a brilliant, compassionate man, and was the only surgeon to provide me with his home phone number when caring for my daughter as an infant. He repaired my daughter's feeding tube-induced intussusception on Thanksgiving eve, and he insisted that she return under his care a year lateras he was invested in her care. He was a physician who valued what the parents had to say. We were fortunate to have known him, and we will be forever grateful for his skill in repairing our...

Rob would like 'AGC" at the end of each of his post -op notes. 'Another Great Case'. I am proud as a nurse to have worked with him and proud that he repaired my son's hernias. Matt King
