Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I enjoy my visits with Dr Barr very easy to talk with

Clinic uses a dogmatic scientific approach which, at least for professional physicists albeit retired, is refreshingly healthy.

Dr Barr Is an exceptional doctor. My wife had a hernia Dr. Barr did surgery on years ago & never forgot how good of doctor she was & as my wife was not happy with a diagnosis of hernia by another doctor, it only made sense to see someone who knew hernias well. It was a great move on my part as what was diagnosed as a hernia was really a diastasis rect, thus a condition that you do not have surgery on it, unless extremely bad.

I felt totally comfortable with Dr. Darlene Barr -- she was at ease, fully prepared, listened to my concerns and answered with honesty in plain English, and has a sweet sense of humor as well! I feel total confidence in her planned surgery on my gall bladder.
