I just received word that Mr. Boeree was tragically killed in a traffic accident on Wednesday. I’m entirely at a loss for words and feel a deep sadness for his family, friends, colleagues, patients and those who will never have the chance to be helped by this wonderful man.
He was a kind person, an extraordinary surgeon and I considered him a friend. Thank you for everything Nick, you will be profoundly missed. My thoughts go out to your family during this dark time.
Edit: Some more tributes for Mr. Boeree and the charity his family has chosen for donations.
That is absolutely horrible news! My condolences to his family. He seemed to be the best ADR surgeon in the world and this will effect many, many lives including mine. I was planning on contacting him and hoping to have surgery by him. Sad, sad news. 🙁

Nice homage to Nick! I guess we were lucky that we had the opportunity to be “fixed” by the man! Think your site is really good for people who are in the shoes we were once in.

Thanks Karl… it was such a shock to hear the terrible news. He helped so many of us and its a tragedy that he’s now gone. We really are very lucky to have been “fixed” by Nick.
