Dr. Stephen Thomas Hufford

"I hadn't wanted to intrude at the time but am just remembering Dr. Hufford to a new doctor & thought I'd share what I wrote back on 11/21/12. 'I'm so sad. I just learned that the warmest, kindest, most compassionate doctor, the one who took the best care of me, has passed away.

Dr. Hufford was the one who first sent me to the emergency room. He was there when I had no neutrophils & they thought my condition might be turning into aplastic anemia. He said we had to try every tool available to make sure I was OK.

When our first big idea didn't work, he said he wanted me to be seen by experts at UCSF. Later, he sent me to Stanford, & when we didn't like what they had to say, he told me to go to Seattle. There, we found answers. There, we found hope.

He celebrated with me when things looked up. He stood by me when things were scary. He treated me like a person. He showed his humanity.

He told me to live my life. He set a shining example of how one should live.' He is appreciated & missed. Thanks for sharing him w/us."

Was just talking to my friend about Doctors and I was telling how I once had the best nicest Doctor. God Bless you Dr.Hufford you were a great man. Condolences to your Family.I'll always remember you.GOD BLESS

I just learned of Dr. Hufford's passing. I was one of his patients in the 1990's for general care. I really liked having him as mu doctor. Though I did not know him outside of his practice, his warmness and caring came through. I recall him telling me how difficult it was to be practicing in Hem/Onc when the AIDS epidemic hit and losing many patients to it. I only left his practice for insurance reasons. I a sorry for your loss.
