Dr. Scott Spear taught plastic surgeons all over the world a course titled Nipple Reconstruction Tattoo Workshop.

Ode to a Suegeon

We met in the eys of my despair
You came with healing hands
Carrying hope
I followed you blindly
Trusting, always trusting
And the light came to my eyes
The vision you saw
I see
It is me
And I am free from my despair.

My dearest friend

My dearest doctor friend, every day as I get dress I thank God for the hope you have given me in my reconstructive surgery. Every day I tear knowing I am the last patient you saw on that day in March. I know you are in a far better world than the one you left but so many women where counting on you, your skill, your kindness, your patience and your excellence in giving women the faith they all derserve in maintaining their dignity after a double mastectomy. We will meet again my friend, if...

I had the privilege of being Dr. Spear's patient. He was an amazing person. He was very kind and considerate of me not only as a patient, but as a person under his care. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends. RIP

My heart goes out to the family of Dr.Scott . He will be remembered for his many, many acts of kindness, generosity and compassion. I was shocked to receive your letter, as I too had reconstruction by your talented husband. My cancer was discovered when I was only 32 and that was 30 years ago. I will forever remember this gifted man that put my life back on track.
