Carlysle Barfield

Dr. Barfield was one of the most important people for me for 13+ years. Today in my appt with Dr. Charles Smith, he mentioned that Dr. Barfield had died. I almost fell over. He was so knowledgeable on fibromyalgia unlike any other. Always had a sympathetic ear and manner. To his staff friends, my sympathies. It will be tough not having him to call on in the future. But he has left me with great memories.

Dr. Barfield was an amazing doctor and a wonderful person. It was an honor to work for him. Dr. Barfield was the best and I will miss him dearly.

Dr Barfield became my Rheumatologist 36 years ago. He was awesome. I saw him the month before his recent retirement and we had jokes like always. We always joked about me knowing him almost as long as I´ve known my husband. He was a great Doctor.

Carlysle became my doctor over 25 years ago and literally saved my life. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his death. He was very dedicated and caring.

In 1993 I first met Carlysle in Zurich (CH). It was friendship at first sight. Many meetings followed. In 1995 I did an internship at MUSC. Carlysle was at my wedding in the Netherlands in 1999. In 2006, when I lived with my family in Curaçao, Carlysle came to stay for a week. We have experienced so many wonderful moments together. Carlysle was a very educated, kind and caring man. A true gentleman. I'm going to miss him terribly. I wish all my American friends a lot of strength and wisdom...
