To the Family and Friends of Dr. Martin Tesher,  I knew Dr. Tesher to be excellent medical doctor and an extraordinarily good man. I am very sad to hear of his passing, even after these several years have gone by.  Had  I known about everything I would have visited him to tell him how much I admired and appreciated him. To have missed the opportunity is an emotional loss to me. Someday I will find him in heaven and tell him.    I am telling him now and I believe he hears.

I am sorry to learn of this sad news. 
I have fond memories of time spent with Martin and the family in the mid 1980s... dinners at the house in the city, trips to Canada in the snow, the sound of Ariel laughing, going to the circus.. I was treated as a member of the family, and as a young, lonely girl in the city (estranged from
my own family), I really appreciated the love and generosity extended to me.
My love to Lynn. I am holding you all in the light .

I was so sorry to hear just today of Dr Tesher’s passing. Until my retirement in 2014, I worked in midtown Manhattan. Dr Tesher was always available to me during the 20 or so years I was a patient of his, whether I had back or neck pain, or merely a bad cold or any other medical issue. When I called the office for an appointment, almost always I was told “come on over”. He almost always answered his phone when I called him, and promptly returned calls when he couldn’t immediately answer the telephone call. For telephone calls to his office during non business hours, he had his calls routed to his home. How many doctors do that? None that I know of. 
There were many mornings I was in Dr Tesher’s office early in the morning as the first patient for a treatment, and he would sit with me and just schmooze. I loved those moments with him. 
I was of course aware of the issues Dr Tesher faced the last few years. I refuse to acknowledge any of those issues, or let it color the man and Dr I knew and loved. I will always miss him. 

Dr. Martin Tesher - the definition of "dedication" is Dr. Tesher. He was ALWAYS there for his patients. If  you needed to reach him there was never a problem, as he was reachable even when on vacation He was not only a brilliant physician but a real "human being" with a heart of PLATINIUM.
