I am so sorry to see Dr. Dunfee passed away. He was a great doctor. He was the only Dr. that figured out what was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with a rare disease. He also saved my life when I got mrsa. Noone knew about Mrsa at the time but he saved me. One of the doctors that filled in when he was on vacation told me I had cellulitius and sent me home to take a shower. Thank God Dr. Dunfee came back and found what I had. I almost died. He was the best and I am so sorry to see he passed. Blessings to the family. He is really truly missed by me and my family.

Dr. Dunfee will be greatly missed. He was my doctor for at least 30 years. I loved his caring manner and the time he took with me. I will surely miss him. I pray for peace and comfort to the Dunfee family. There will never be another doctor who can fill his shoes. What a blessing to me.

DR. DUNFEE WAS A GENTLEMAN OF THE OLD SCHOOL AND THE BEST AND ONLY DOCTOR THAT MY FAMILY TRUSTED. HE DID MORE FOR MY PARENTS WHEN THEY WERE SICK THAN ANY OTHER DOCTOR WOULD OR COULD. BESIDES ALL THAT, HE WAS A TRUSTED FRIEND AND PART OF OUR FAMILY. HE WILL BE MISSED GREATLY AND REMEMBERED AS LONG AS STORIES ARE TOLD OF GRAND MEN SUCH AS HIMSELF. MAY TIME BRING SOME COMFORT IN THIS TIME OF GRIEF,KEVIN R. LANDON

Dr. Dunfee was a wonderful man and great doctor...nearly twenty years ago is when I met him I had a very sick 4 year old who was terrified of doctors and he had such a calming effect on my son that we decided to make him our family doctor...he was awesome and will certainly be missed...may God comfort his family ....
