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.

Very frustrating visit with my child.
II ended up with the same response as another poster "if you have a differing opinion than hers she is particularly defensive."

Dr. Barron has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I began to see her as an adolescent and have continued to see after becoming an adult. She has helped me more than anyone else. She is always so kind and compassionate. She has really helped me in my times of crisis and always try’s to make herself available especially in times of crisis.

Dr. Barron is a compassionate and caring doctor. She was very thorough when talking to us about what was going on with our daughter. She made sure to cover any questions and concerns we had, giving us plenty of time to process everything and put us at ease with the plan of care. Highly recommended.

I can not in good faith, recommend this doctor. She talks over and interrupts you. She is rude if you have a differing opinion than hers and she needs to revisit her unfriendly, inflexible office procedures. She is particularly defensive should you complain about staff or procedures with this is standard protocol. With a response of “we have followed all ‘standard’ procedures” sure identifies your “standard” needs a long hard look.
