SPENCER SCHAEFFER DO

Dear Lydia, Just wanted you and Benjamin to know that I still talk about Spencer as a Master Healer who changed the course of my family's life through his wisdom, knowledge, and skill. He is the gold standard and we are so grateful and blessed to have been able to have been his patients.

I hear his memory speaking to me "find a way now to say goodbye, let the feelings and thoughts carry me, not burden me --- now lean back and turn onto my left side (and as I turn to the right, he says "no, your other left)"

Ben and I are deeply grateful for everyone's kind and supportive words. Thank you. We miss Spencer with all our hearts.

Spencer and I go back a long way, 1969. I never met him in medical school, even though we were there at the same time. We got close when he arrived in Boston and remained so until the day he died. He was a fine family man, physician and dedicated friend who I'll miss dearly. Luckily, I have many wonderful memories to fall back on, which is helpful dealing with his passing. He was a one of a kind, so correctly depicted in the condolences of him I reviewed here. My love will always be there...

I was much saddened to hear of Spencers death. In addition to his being an extraordinary healer, it was always delightful to spend time with him while getting treated. I always enjoyed his jokes, such as declaring that they come from miles around regarding the popularity of some of his more robust manipulations. Whether gentle or robust, his treatments were remarkably effective, and I generally found myself greatly improved within 24 hours. I so appreciated the compassion I received from both...

The one and only person who could truly fix me has left this earthly plain. Selfishly, I will miss him. I am glad he lived life so fully, richly and lovingly. Spencer was so uniquely talented at healing. The Earth will have a void now that truly cannot be filled. My love goes out to Lydia and Ben. May you grieve and love and hold dear all your memories. Peace and love, Amelia Turner

Spencer was such a healer, and such a lovely human being. I always loved his light-hearted and light-filled way...often telling ridiculous jokes (jokes we still repeat) all through a session. His way of telling our daughter Whitney to take it easy for a few days after an appointment was a classic: he always told her to spend the next couple of days riding on her elephant scattering rose petals here and there. we will all miss him.

I am honored to have known Spencer as a colleague and friend. His integrity, curiosity, and clinical acumen were outstanding. He was my "go-to" expert in neuro-musculo-skeletal problems during my years in practice at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. I profited from his wisdom, his perspective, and his wonderful personality. He was blessed to have had the enduring support of Lydia, and she in turn was blessed to have had a wonderful husband and friend in Spencer.
