Theodore Paul Votteler

Dr Vottler was the best Pediatric Surgeon I had the privilege to work with. It was Amazing to watch him operate. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

I just want to say that me and Dr Votteler had an experience of a lifetime he separated my conjoined twins in 1988 we were blessed to have such a great man and surgeon on our side my Son´s are now 33 years old thank you Dr Votteler it was great showing the world the miracle you did with my son's by giving them life living separately condolences to his family.

He saved my life in 1958. I had a "meckles" growth that had ruptured, and I was bleeding out. He performed emergency surgery and I survived!!! He even had the surgery filmed so others could learn from his talents. I'm 67 now, and have 3 children, and 6 grandkids.

Dr. Votteler was one of the kindest men, let alone doctors, that I have ever met. I cannot describe how blessed I was to have him as my surgeon. I wish my best for his family and can only hope that others were as touched in their lives as I was.

Dr. Votteler was the best. I will never forget him and all he did to save my daughter. Thank you Dr. Votteler, and may you be at peace. All of my deepest sympathy to you his family.

Dear Todd, Sharmon, Mimi and all, our sympathy is with you during this sad time. Sharmon, I have had this strange feeling that something hasn't been right....Dr. Votteler meant so much to so many as these guest book entries testify. Our prayers are with you all. I hope to see everyone soon. May God bless all of you during this difficult time. Susan Ballard Cook and Wiley Cook

In November of 1994 our daughter had been very ill, and her pediatrician couldn't diagnose the problem. He scheduled some tests at Children's and we arrived on a Thursday night so they could run a CATscan and an MRI. Even the doctors on duty couldn't decide what the problem was and sent us home. As soon as we arrived at our house the phone was ringing. It was Dr. Votteler telling me to return as soon as possible, this might well be an emergency.

One of the doctors on duty had seen Dr....

In 1970 Dr. Votteler performed surgery on me. Due to his dedication and excellence in the medical field, I am here today to talk about the experience. His judgement to try experimental treatment and commitment to his faith are without doubt the reasons I am still alive. There will never be another person as committed to his patients but I know he is still looking down on all of us and wants us to keep up his excellence in patient care. Thank you to the Votteler family for sharing him with...
