Thomas D. Rees

So sad to hear of his passing I am a Rees from a mining village Tumble in South Wales.He resembles our family nose &eyes.

I was a patient of Dr. Rees. In 1972, as a teenager I was in a car accident. My face got very much damaged (eyes, cheek, nose). Dr. Rees was my plastic & reconstructive surgeon. He liked me & was very sympathetic. He had my parents only pay what the insurance company agreed to pay for the operations. I appreciate him greatly for his kindness & incredible surgical skills. Good-bye Dr & rest in peace.

RIP Prof. Rees and thank you Dr. Robert Lovas

Dr Rees will be forever in my heart. I had the privilege of working for him as a nurse I'm his office on 72nd st in NYC for 16 years. It was the most wonderful and exciting time of my nursing career. His plastic surgery was exceptional so it was amazing to see the results of both his reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Additionally, he was a fun, caring and kind human being . I will forever thank him for hiring me away from my OR nurse job at NYU Medical Center. Love you Tom Rees.

It was my honor and privilege to work for Dr. Rees as a nurse in his prestigious office in New York City. I will always have fond memories of those amazing years. It was a highlight of my years as a nurse and I thank Dr. Rees for that opportunity. May this dear man rest in peace for all that he contributed to the world and to plastic surgery.

Dr. Tom Rees, for whom I worked as a nurse in his New York City office, was a wonderful human being in so many ways. I was privileged to be a part of his office from 1965-1981. I will always cherish the memories of those years and all that I learned about plastic surgery from one of the masters. Rest In Peace, you will always be missed.

In 1965 Dr. Rees performed emergency plastic surgery on my face when, having been severely bitten by a dog, I was was brought into Manhattan Eye & Ear Hospital. I was 17 years old. I will never forget this kind, compassionate man who restored my face and my life. I went back to college, returned for another successful graft in the summer. I will always be profoundly grateful to Dr. Rees. I didn't know until now about his work in Africa. What a remarkable person who had such a positive impact...

I have fond memories of hunting and fishing with Tom when we were teenagers.
He was always a Gentleman.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
