When I was an adolescent Dr. Amador made me feel like a normal person. He spoke to me like an adult and was never judgmental. I'm 39 now and haven't had a PCP since the good doctor passed. I'll never forget the man and the world needs more men like him....especially the youth.

A fellow Pediatrician & a great friend. He was too young when he left us. He will always be remembered for all his good attributes, a great doctor, a good friend an excellent family man. May the Lord have him in His glory, and I offer prayers and blessings for his loved ones.

To The Amador Family,

We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful Dr. Amador was to our kids, he was more than a doctor, he was a friend and a very very special human being. we remember that when our daughter was a baby at the end of every check up he used to kiss her, that was the sweetest thing I've ever seen in a doctor. Once he told us that she was exactly like his daughter when she was my daughter's age (strong headed but special and unique). he also talked about his beloved wife and kids including his other sons(nephews). He really loved all of them. We are deeply sad knowing that our son (8 months) will not have the chance of knowing him better. We just found out today and we can't beleive or accept that he is not with us anymore. We also know that we will never find a wonderful doctor like him, but I'm sure he will be looking after all these kids from heaven. Hope you find peace and comfort at this difficult time. God Bless You
Te extranaremos Querido Amador, Que descanses en paz.

Dr. Amador was the first and only pediatrician I interviewed when I was pregnant with my now-15-year-old son. That child was followed by a now-13-year-old daughter, who has also been a patient of his. Dr. Amador had such a wonderful sense of humor, and was a calming and reassuring presence when my children were very little and sick. In recent years, my son, in particular, bonded with Dr. Amador and saw him as another trusted adult in his life - a role model and counselor. He will be sorely missed. What a wonderful doctor he was. To the family, I can only say that your husband and dad touched many, many lives. My prayers are with you.

Dear Amador Family,

I only had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Amador for three years. But in those three years I came to trust him and rely on him for help with my two boys. He was always warm and compassionate, and never rushed. I always felt as if I were in the presence of a gentle soul. We went out of our way just to schedule an appointment with him. We will miss him greatly and never forget him. I know I will never find another Doctor like him. I say a prayer for you every night. I pray that God keeps your faith strong and gives you the guidance you need to make it through this tragic time.

Dr. Amador has been a part of my life since I moved to Atlanta at the age of 2. I considered him as a friend and someone who I could talk to about anything. He didn't judge me for the things I did, but generally cared about me and my well-being. He has been a very important part of my life and always will be. He helped me overcome many difficult times in my life and I will always be greatful to have known him. You will always be considered family to me and will always be remembered.

Dr. Amador has been my doctor since I moved to Atlanta at the age of 2. He was more than a doctor to me, I considered him as a friend and someone I could talk to about any problems I was having. He listened and cared and was just an all around great guy. He helped me overcome many difficulties in my life and I will always be greatful to have met him and have him be a part of my life, and most importantly my childhood. I will always remember you and consider you a part of my family.

We are shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our children's beloved pediatrician and friend Tony Amador. My 19 year old son and 16 year old daughter had both been patients of Dr Amador for the past 13 or 14 years. We followed him from Sandy Springs to Alpharetta to Sandy Plains to Woodstock. They only wanted to see Dr Amador.He was truly a one of a kind as a doctor and a person. He had the rare gift of being able to connect with you as a child/patient no matter your age, and also with parents. He always had a smile on his face and good words to say, although you had to pay attention because he did speak very quickly. But he never rushed a visit and would patiently answer all questions. He gave my children his cell phone number and encouraged them to call him with any questions/concerns, and they did numerous times. He loved his family deeply, spoke glowingly of his wife and daughters, whom we had a chance to meet a couple of summers ago when Tony brought them to watch my son play a summer league baseball game. He was interested in his patients as people too. The Lord called a really great man home early. Tony,until we meet again, may God bless you and keep you. Our hearts go out to Maite, Alexis, and Gabriela- nothing we can say can fill the void you must be feeling.

Dear Amador family,
I am so sad for your loss. As a nurse I am very "picky" about the doctors my family sees. We moved here 10 years ago and another nurse recommened Dr. Amador. He was DEFINITELY the best doctor I have ever known. My teenage sons are very surprised at his passing. We will miss him. Our prayers to your family.

Dr. Amador cared for my 3 boys for the past 10 years. He was truly gifted in how he dealt with teenagers through those difficult years. As a Mom who observed his unique ability to 'connect' and gain the confidence and trust of my boys, I am enormously saddened to hear of his passing. He was truly a special person. My deepest condolences to his family who must be amazing as well. My heartfelt thoughts are with you. God bless..

I just opened the letter from the office about Dr.Antonio Amador's death and we are so sad, that there's no way to describe it. We found him just over 2 years ago and He was the best Doctor that I have ever found in this country in the 18 years i've lived here. His loving and warming way to deal with his client does not exist anywhere else. He was unique and was a great doctor.My 13 and 4 year old sons will miss him forever.
Our thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Dear Dr. Amador's family,
Our family loved him dearly. We trusted every word or action that came from this very special person and doctor. Our son has been seen by Dr. Amador since his birth 16 years ago. Our son felt he could always talk to Dr. Amador. He carried
Dr. Amador's phone number in his wallet. Thank you, Dr. Amador for all you did for our family and the extreme confidence we felt in your prescence. There can be no relacement for you, only someone to carry on your work. May God bless your family knowing what a lovely and concerned person you were for all you met. The good die young.

We are so saddened to hear of Dr. Amador's passing. He has been my 10 yr old twin girls doctor ever since they were premies.

My heart and prayers go out to the family of Dr. Amador. I first met Dr. Amador after the birth of my oldest son, who is now 17. He was so nice and very friendly, took so much time to talk to you and explain everything. I moved to Ellijay, Ga from Woodstock, Ga and still drove my children about an hour away to see Dr. Amador because I could not find any Doctor that could compare. We will miss Dr. Amador greatly.

Nancy Reed

February 29, 2008

I first met Dr. Amador when we moved to GA 15 years ago; when I was interviewing pediatricians for my then 3 year old daughter and the daughter I was carrying. I was immediately struck by his gentle way of speaking, warmth and kindness. I did not need to look any further for a doctor for my children. He always made us feel as though we were the most important part of his day. I found it amazing that he could remember antics that the girls had done through the years. My daughters looked up to him, listened to his advice and we all truly loved him. We will all miss him very much. Our deepest condolences to the family.

Rhonda and Austin Rose

February 29, 2008

Words cannot describe the feeling I had upon hearing that Dr Amador had passed away. My son and I both agreed that he was so special that he will never be replaced.

Many have known and loved Dr. Amador for many years. I met him just 18 months ago and I instantly knew he was special. I went out of my way to take my son to him. How can I have such deep sympathy and sense of loss of someone I have seen only 4 or 5 times. Because you were that special. Much love.

We would like to express our shock and sadness with the sudden passing of Dr. Amador. He was our sons' pediatrician for only a few years and yet he had a tremendous impact in their young lives. Dr. Amador was always kind and reassuring. He had a gentle and quiet way about him that inspired confidence. He will forever remain in our hearts and minds. We would like to extend our regrets to his family.

Tony has taken care of my daughter, Jaime Maxey since the day she was born, that was 17 years ago. I was waiting to make her final appointment before going off to college and received the sad news. He was not only a great Doctor to my daughter, but a friend, someone she trusted and could talk to. Our hearts go out to his family that he was so proud of, we always enjoyed his stories about his daughters. This is a great great loss to everyone. He will be missed.

February 28, 2008

We just heard the news about Dr. Amador's passing. We are in shock.
He was our sons' doctor since they were 4 and 2. They are now 22 and 20. My 20 year old Matt just went for his last checkup over the holidays and was sad that next year he would have to go to another doctor due to his age. Little did we know that wouldn't be the reason why. My boys wouldn't be the terrific young men they are today without Dr. Amador's influence and guidance. He was the best there is.
Our love and prayers go his family.

A thank you to Mrs. Amador and her lovely girls for sharing Dr. Amador with us for all of these years. I met him as a single mom with one child back in 1989 when I needed a doctor for my 3 year old son. When I married and added more children to my nest, Dr. Amador was there to take care of each of them. I have only just opened the letter from the office telling me of Dr. Amador's passing and am devastated. He was a thoughtful, considerate, gentle man who cared for the whole family, not just the child. As a nurse, I did truly enjoy a professional relationship when I saw him in the office. However, as the mom of four of his patients, he was remarkable. He always talked to them first and made them feel important. Be safe, Tony. God be with your wife, your girls, and the rest of your family.

February 28, 2008

We just learned about Dr. Amador's passing. We are in shock. Our boys are 22 and 20 and have been going to Dr. Amador since they were 4 and 2. If fact my 20 year old son Matt just saw him for his last check up over the holidays and was so sad that he had to switch next year to another doctor due to his age. Little did we know that wouldn't be the reason. Dr. Amador was the best in his field and he will be greatly missed. We want his family to know that our boys wouldn't be the terrific kids they are if it wasn't for his guidance. He was the best ever. Our prayers, love and support go out to his family.
Love Kathy, Larry, Jason and Matt Soifer - God Speed

We are so thankful for the blessings Dr. Amador gave our famly of 5 children. He gave them confidence and encouraged them to stretch themselves academically. We always left laughing over a joke or shared our love of North Georgia. Thanks to his wonderful family who enabled us to have such a superb pediatrician.

I met Dr. Amador at PAMPA. My usual doctor was busy that day and as I waited behind the door, I didn't know who was to walk in. When he walked in, his presence instantly filled me with joy. Having personally come from NY, I loved his wit and attitude and verve...he was funny and smart, and we talked a lot about health food and related topics. We were talking about the danger of trampolines, and he was telling me about his children growing up, and how he hated those trampolines himself. He had a love and regard for his children that you could see. He was the type of man to make anyone laugh, or feel comfortable, immediately put in his 'circle' in a very real way. He wasn't full of pretense. After that visit, I always had warm regards for him, and always thought...'What a great doctor...my son would probably like a male doctor like that when he is older" and it's a shame that will not be. He was one of those people you only had to meet once, but you knew you had met someone that was fully alive and fully aware and had the knack to bring anyone to a smile or just to feel comfortable, and he had that vibe that you could kick back with him on a boat or at a party and he would have FUN...I am truly sorry, for all of you who have been blessed to know him for a lifetime that unfortunately was cut short, because I know you are in DEEP MOURNING....YET...as I know...he will remain in your hearts forever, he was that type of person. I truly mourn the loss of a great personality, who after just one visit...made me feel like a friend. He had that wonderful rare gift today of truly connecting with people. God Bless you Dr. Amador. We all will miss you.

I just heard of Dr. Amador's passing. He was my son's pediatrician for 13 years & he has helped us through some difficult decisions. He always made us feel comfortable & gave us his undivided, unrushed attention. He was the best doctor I have ever known & I feel very fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family & the PAMPA family.

I am extremely saddened to hear of Dr. Amador's sudden and unexpected death. He was a wonderful physician to my two sons, and the only physician they have known since birth 7&8 yrs ago. I credit Dr. Amador for recognizing, hospitalizing and turning around a very serious and deadly illness in my oldest son when he was only a year old. He built a wonderfully sincere relationship and rapport with our family over the years. Our deepest condolences to his family.

The Andersons

February 23, 2008

I am still in a state of disbelief over the passing of this man. In all my live I can not recall meeting a finer man. (I said the same even when he was with us.) His heart for his family, patients and life was evident. He lived with passion, openess and impacted our family greatly. Trying to imagine this loss for Maite and the girls is impossible.

But I take joy in the Lord that surely received him openly and the fact that the impact and joy of knowing him will never be lost on the hundreds of us that called Dr. Tony friend.

Also, we take comfort in the fact that Maite and the girls were always on his mind and a part of conversation during his time with patients. He was so devoted to his family and we are glad that the girls are blessed to have that foundation of love by such a giving and truly adoring father.

Telling our seven year old about this loss, was so very difficult. He had a special bond with his Dr. Tony.

It is such a loss. I pray to have the pleasure one day again to meet someone with such a giving heart full of love for people that would impact my life in such a way. He was a rare person and I will never forget him.

What a loss but we pray that some amazing things come from this sad time. We pray that people that heard or read about this man's legacy will take time to re-evaluate their lives and choices while there is still time for them. Maybe show their love for their family and friends.

Dr. Tony lived with refreshing gratitude, humility and goodness. May his family have supernatural peace from the Lord during this time and please know that many of us are praying for you and asking God to truly bring you through in a way that only He can. Bless all of you, his extended family and know how we are missing him too.

It is an honor and a gift to have known him and to have spent time with him. God bless you all including his mom whom he spoke of often.

Blessings,
The Andersons

My sympathy and prayers goes out to Dr. Amador's wife and daughters. It really saddened my heart to hear of his untimely death; he will be sorely missed. My son, who is now 30, and I have fond memories of the times that Dr. Amador saw John when he was sick. Dr. Amador will really be missed; he was a great doctor.

What a compassionate and talented man. I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Amador for almost two hours a few weeks ago. My son is interested in becoming a pediatrican and was to shadow Dr. Amador, his mentor. A gentle, intelligent spirit who spoke fondly of his family and personal history in becoming a doctor. My son thought he was "brilliant" and trusted him as no other since his own father died two years ago. A life well lived and so many touched. I think of him and pray for his family's healing and peace. God Bless.

To the Amador Family,
I was shocked to hear about Dr. Amador's passing. He was my son's doctor and after seeing several different physicians, my son finally found "the one." My son, Harry, trusted and was completely at ease with Dr. Amador. Harry's best friend passed away suddenly 2 years ago and it was Dr. Amador who was the one Harry finally shared his grief with. I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are to have known Dr. Amador.

He will be greatly missed by all. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Amador was a king among men and was a major part of my life. He was always there with words of wisdom and advice that would always enlighten or brighten up my day.

There can be no greater comfort than to know that his life and deeds were known and appreciated by so many others. We were lucky enough to call him Doctor and Friend. You were blessed to call him father and son, mentor and protector. You have our prayers
and gratitude for sharing him with us.

Dr. Amador was not just a doctor to me, but a friend. We both shared a love of traditional religion. We would have discussions on the subject every time we met including at appointments.

A while ago when I was younger, he took time out of his schedule to talk to me when I was in elementary school and was picked on often, sometimes because of my religion, Lutheranism. He was there for me and encouraged me throughout that time. He will be missed very much by my family. My deepest sympathies are with his family, especially his daughters and wife. He and they are in our prayers. He will never be forgotten.

Robert J. Alpern, M.D.

As a professional colleague I valued Tony as a compassionate, competent, and caring pediatrician. I was privileged to treat some of his patients with emotional and behavioral problems. All of these children and their families regarded Dr. Amador as the finest practitioner our profession has to offer. To his family I offer my condolences on his untimely death. May you be comforted by loving memories of a remarkably fine gentleman, whom I am proud to have known.

Jenice Pearl

February 17, 2008

The Pearl family was deeply saddened to hear that Dr. Amador had passed away. I truly cannot express what Dr. Amador meant to me. The Lord provided a path to him after my first born son came into the world and was born with Down syndrome. My son was evaluated by 2 pediatricians prior to our meeting with Dr. Amador. Dr. Amador was the only one who offered words of encouragement and was so positive about our son, Sam. He was truly a life line for me during a difficult time of transition. He supported me as our family grew to 4 children in 6 years with 2 children by international adoption. In 2005, our family moved to Virginia. Since, then I have missed Dr. Amador and remained in touch with him on occasion. If all pediatricians and doctors had Dr. Amador's heart as well as superb professionalism, it would be grand! Thank you Dr. Amador. You will be missed. May God bless your family with peace and comfort at this time.

We love Dr. Amador and will miss him always. The impact he has had on our family is profound. We are so honored to have been his patients and the recipient of his compassion, wisdom, humor and warmth. When one of our children was born, Dr. Amador checked him out in the hospital and told us our son was "perfect". Little did we know at the time that it was Dr. Amador who was perfect--he always knew just what to say and do to take care of us. Our prayers are with the Amador family during this time of tremendous loss.

Dear Amador Family,
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with our family. Dr. Amador has been pediatrician to our three sons since 1987. He has supported us through so much, good times and bad times. We are forever in his debt.
Dr. Amador always treated my boys as if they were the most special kids on earth. He new how to speak with each of them to find out what was going on in their lives and knew immediately if something was bothering them.
We share your grief and hope it offers some comfort to know how special he was to so many families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be missed.

Dr. Amador was not only a wonderful doctor but also a wonderful man. He always had a way of making this mom feel like she did her best in taking care of her kids. He was great with my two sons and they will both miss him very much.

Dr. Amador was my doctor. He understood me very well and was a great doctor with a bigger heart than the country has. He will always be my favorite doctor.

Queridas Maite, Alexis, Gabriela y familia:

Con mucho dolor hemos escuchado esta noticia y nos cuesta creer que sea cierta. El doctor Amador ha sido unas de las personas mas especiales que hemos conocido.
Dios los puso a ustedes en nuestro camino en uno de los momentos mas dificiles de nuestras vidas. Toni fue un angel para nuestro hijo y un magnifico profesional de un alma extraordinaria. Por su vida estaremos eternamente agradecidos.
Sepan que estan en nuestros pensamientos y oraciones.
Les queremos,
Lisset, Gabriel y Lazaro.

Dr Amador was in the delivery room for the birth of both my boys. He held them before I did. For 21 years, he was not only their doctor, he was their friend and confidante. How fortunate we were to have had him in our lives. Our hearts go out to his family. He was a very special man.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Like many other people Dr. Amador left a lasting mark in our lives. He was my sons doctor from the time he was born until we also moved to Fl. The one thing we knew we would miss would be him. Since living here we have yet to find a doctor to replace him & probably never will.
My son (9yrs old) still talks about him & probably always will. He hasn't seen him since we moved 4yrs ago but can still tell you what he looked like & how much he loved him. He loved going to the doctor. You all our in our prayers.
Please take comfort in knowing all the lives he touch. The Staley Family

We were totally devastated to hear the heartbreaking news about Dr. Amador. He has been our boys' doctor since he came to PAMPA. My boys were totally at ease when they would see him. At their appointments he would give great medical advice and always spend a few extra minutes talking to them about life experiences. He also would talk about his lovely family. He loved his family. We will continue to pray for you all. We will never forget you Dr. Amador, especially your compassionate care you shared with our boys. What a difference you made in this world.

Both of our children were patients of Dr. Amador for the past 12 years. He was not only an outstanding man, but a wonderful and caring doctor. He always made us feel as if we were the only patients he was seeing that day. Our family was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. There will not be another like Dr. Amador. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family during their time of grief. May God bless each of you.

To the Amador family, My son and I just saw your husband and dad and we were amazed at how much time he spent with us. He did his work with such passion. He has touched hundreds maybe even thousands by his brilliant mind and compassionate heart. We will pray for all to find peace at this very difficult time. He will be missed greatly. God bless all of you. From the Mertz family, Acworth

Estimado doctor Amador. Que gran calidad humana y que suerte tiene el Senor de tener un ser asi en el Reino de los Cielos.
Dios quiso tenerte a su lado y debes de estar en un lugar paradisiaco porque te lo mereces. Gracias por todo lo que has aportado en la vida de mi familia y en la mia personal, dandome ejemplo de calidad humana. Mis hijos te adoraban y te querian llevar a Espana a comer croquetas ya que sabian lo que te gustaban. La familia Stone reza por tu familia y te recuerda con un gran carino y admiracion.

Dear Amador Family,
Dr. Amador was one of the greatest people our family has ever known. We will never find a greater pediatrician than him. We were blessed to know him for 15 years. Helping us find a diagnosis for our severely autistic daughter and all the advice and encouragement re: her and our other two kids through the years is such a gift he gave us. He was more than a pediatrician. He was a friend. We love him and will miss him sorely.
We pray for your family. We are so sorry for your loss.

I am shocked and grieved to hear about the loss of Dr. Amador. He was a wonderful person as well as a superb, intelligiant and funny physician. Not only did my son love him but I did as well. In my opinion there will not be another doctor that can fill his shoes.

I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for you and your family. Know that not only do you have the comfort from your Lord but also from the community and those who loved him as well!

We are in disbelief and shock by the passing of our beloved Dr. Tony. He was so much more than just a pediatrician to our 10-yr old son and 7-yr old daughter. We considered him a friend and family member, because he treated us so. Our kids adored him – he was their Dr. Tony - they are heartbroken by the news.

Dr. Amador was there for us through our son’s difficult first year and medical crisis a few years ago. Not only did he treat our son, but he also supported us emotionally through a very difficult time.

He was a brilliant physician, but more importantly he was an awesome human being. Visits with him were so much more than medical in nature…..they were conversations and laughter on family stories, travel, languages, cultures, and cooking. Throughout the years, he got to meet our extended family members who accompanied us to the visits from the Midwest all the way to France and Turkey. He won everybody over with compassion, respect, and humility. He had a gift of connecting with all.....from kids to adults. Our parents are deeply saddened by the news. My mom still remembers his words to her as a new grandma.

Dr. Amador – We will deeply miss you. We consider ourselves so fortunate and grateful to have received your care, compassion, and friendship. May you rest in peace and may God give your family and friends strength and peace.

Dr. Amador has been our doctor for the last 5 years. He always had a smile for us. My four children loved him. I had the greatest respect and admiration of him as well. My 7 year old has said since she was 2 that she wants to be a doctor just like Dr. Amador. He will be missed so much. My heart and prayers are with you during this time. Know that your husband, father, son and brother was deeply loved by all of his patients. Our family will never forget him. Much love to you all.

He was a wonderful doctor- brilliant, caring and kind. He will be remembered by so many- children & adults. He positively affected the lives of our children as our medical doctor & his legacy will live on in all of the lives of the children that he treated in addition to the lives of his treasured family and friends.

Dear Amador Family:

I have so many wonderful stories about Dr. Tony. He was the greatest Dr. we have ever encountered. He was truly one of a kind. One story. My husband befriended a well known actor while he was in town filming a movie. On set one day my husband was in his trailor with the business manager and he had called around asking for the best pediatrician in town for the actor's daughter who was sick. He was getting directions and when he hung up my husband asked who the Dr. recommeneded because those are the directions to my daughter's Dr. He said, Tony Amador. It was no surprise to us that he was the one selected as best in Atlanta. We always asked for Dr. Tony and our daughter only wanted to see him. She is 14 now. He will be missed. And I know how loved and respected he was just based on how he always treated us during the past 14 years.

Mrs. Amador, Alexis and Gabriela,

Your family has been and will continue to be in my family's thoughts and prayers. I worked at PAMPA years ago and so enjoyed working with Dr. Amador. My sons, both now grown with children of their own, have great memories of how he communicated with them and cared for them when they were teenagers. He helped us through some challenging times with wisdom and true caring, and for this I will always be grateful.

Please know that many, many people are thinking of your family and will be lifting you up in prayer in the coming days.

Dr. Amador was very special, a one-in-a-million kind of person that I am so thankful I had the pleasure of knowing. He will be missed.

It is with tremendous shock and sadness that we learned of Tony's passing. He has been the pediatrician for my four children for the last 18 years and he has been a tremendous support to our family, from the moment I met him in the hospital when my son was born. God Rest his soul and we will be praying constantly for his family.

Mrs Amador and Girls,
We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Amador's passing. He has been our boys pediatrician for 14 yrs. I have never seen a doctor care for his patients the way he did. The amount of time spent with each of them was truly amazing!! For a few yrs now, we have had some special challenges with our oldest son and Dr. Amador has counseled him, as well as me--his Mom. There just couldn't have been anyone more caring and willing to listen! He truly was a "living angel" and I know that he is at "home" in heaven. God Bless you and your family during this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Regards,
Ed, Gail,Shane and Cody Bly
