Robert Bashford

Dr Bashford was a wonderful Doctor. He delivered our 2nd child, a son on 06-11-1981. With no doubt, Dr Bashford is and was one of the Best Doctors, that God blessed us with on this earth and we loved him. Rest in peace friend. Sending our love, thoughts, and prayers to all of the family during and after this difficult sad time. I know this is late, but I just found out that our good Dr Bashford had past this earth and gone on to live with God and the good Lord Jesus.

Dear Dr. Bashford, As I reflect on the years since you passed, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and admiration for the profound impact you had on my life and career. I vividly remember our interview during my residency and the immediate connection we made. Your warm kindness and genuine interest in my journey stood out, and I am forever grateful for your advocacy and belief in me. You were not just a mentor in child psychiatry but a beacon of compassion, humility, and dedication....

I just read about Dr. Bashford in the Alumni Review magazine. Dr. Bashford delivered my son, Brent, on 7-27-80 in Wilmington, N C. I was holding my son up to the clock and at the same time instructing Dr. Bashford to snap our picture. He laughed and said he was not sure this was part of his contract. He continued snapping pictures as we both laughed out loud. I remember him telling me I was the most excited new father that he had ever witnessed. Great memories of a great man! So sorry for...

Cynthia, just now finding this out. We are so sorry to hear this. Paige, Jan and I were so fortunate to meet Robert and get to know him better. You are definitely in our prayers.

Doctor Bashford was a prince. His skill set was immense, yet he also cared so much for his patients welfare. He helped us on many occasions, because he was so kind.
The world is less with Bobs passing, and the people who cared as much as he did, need to grab the reins, and care.

Dear Cynthia
You are in my thoughts and prayers

You are in my thoughts and prayers

I was introduced to Dr. Bashford as simply, Robert, about 2 years ago through a mutual colleague. I later discovered through his anecdotal stories that he was extremely humorous and so relatable. I will truly miss those brief interactions. Prayers and sympathies for the Bashford Family and for the Chapel Hill & UNC communities.
