Donald H. Mott

Dr. Mott was a fantastic surgeon. He and his team put my left elbow back together after a motorcycle accident the summer of 1987. I am forever appreciative of his efforts.

Dr Mott, was first of all, my doctor. When I broke my ankle, badly in a parachute accident, he was able to put all the pieces of bone back together and absolutely successfully. No limp, no pain. He was an excellent surgeon, but also an exceptional man, humanitarian and philanthropist. He didn't have to be, but he was. We were so thrilled to honor him with the Greater Tacoma Peace Prize Laureate for his work with China Partners in bringing much needed medical education to hundreds of doctors. Every time I drive down the hill into Puyallup, I think of Don, his kind heart and great smile.

Dr. Mott was my mentor & friend that I so admired. He helped so many. I am blessed to have had him in my life. He will be missed

Dear Blessed Family,

My name is Giomi Gerstmann Emerson and I am the youngest of Dr. Paul Gerstmann. Dr. Mott and my dad were very good friends and colleagues and I grew up with Dr. Mott not only as a family friend, he also cared for my family. He was a extremely excellent doctor and friend to our family and such a incredible contributor to our community. My youngest daughter was born with Hypoplastic Left heart syndrome requiring three open heart surgeries. A cauterization caused her a stroke which lead us to have the incredible blessing of the therapy unit your dad and husband put in place. My family thought very highly of Dr. Mott and all of our sympathies and condolences. He was an incredible Doctor and man. Blessings from Dr. Gerstmann and family. ( My dad past three years ago this April 7)

Dr Mott was a blessing to so many. His service to humanity will forever remembered in the continuing care for children here and around the world. A treasure to have known. God bless
