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

She was so happy with the outcome that she wanted to show me. I...

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.

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.
