Not sure what to say?

I was a patient of Dr. Robert Turner from 1989 until he retired. He was a compassionate doctor that took time with his patients, unlike most doctors that rush through patients like cattle. I was so upset when he retired because I knew I´d probably never find another doctor like him. I´m saddened to hear of his passing. Sending prayers of comfort for his family. Jeanne Cox

I was saddened to read of Bob's death. He was at MUSC for his fellowship when I was in Internal Medicine residency and we shared many patients. He and I shared that small town doctor bedside manner of talking to and touching the patient. I feel closer to him now as I too am PBK, AOA and an Eagle Scout. We remained friends in Columbia and at medical meetings after his move to Florence. He was a fine man and doctor. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.

Bob was a good and loving person, and lived a life of helping other people. That is the best you can do. And I'll note for the record that Bob's beloved Gamecocks won the last game they played in Bob's life on this earth, making it a winning season when no one said it would be, so Bob went out with great satisfaction and joy and optimism football wise!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Mary Frances and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. We love you.

I was a patient of Dr. Turner until he retired. He is the only physician I ever had that took time with me not just about your medical needs but always talking family. I can remember one time he stayed so long in the exam room just talking and the nurse knocked on the door to be sure we were ok. That´s just the kind of Physician and friend he was. So sorry to hear of his passing. Sending much love and prayers to the family.

So sorry for your loss, praying for family and friends. He was always so polite and kind to staff and patients.
Rest in peace.

My love & heartfelt sympathy to all the family for thisl sudden loss ! I have pleasant memories spent with Bob & Mary Francess

My heart is broken. Dr. Turner was my doctor for over 30 years but he was so much more. I considered him a dear friend. He truly cared for his patients and always took his time with you to explain things. We spent many hours talking about our families, books, changes in the world, etc. I pray for comfort for his family that he loved so much.
