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.

Worst Dr I've ever had. This man is flat out mean & rude. My story won't fit on this thread. He's been reported.

Great doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. B’s for about eight years and I must say I am quite shocked by the negative things people have had to say about him. I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Barbara, he’s always been very professional and knowledgeable about everything and anything I ask of him. I never feel rushed by him or his staff. speaking of staff Betty and the rest of the staff are as nice and professional as Dr. Barbara I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’m 63. I travel about 45 minutes one-way to get here when I could see many other doctors around my own area. if you run into insurance problems, Betty is extremely knowledgeable and right on top of everything that you asked of her. there’s also two sides to every story so I wouldn’t believe everything negative you here.

Great Doctor
I have finally found a private doctor that not only takes care of me & my family but a true medicine man who diagnosis our problems, discusses medication and lifestyle changes needed to best correct the problem. While on vacation recently, we needed a prescription refilled. His office called it in to the out of state pharmacy so we were able to access it. He recently called me when my bloodwork came back to discuss the outcome instead of having me come back for another office visit. His assistant Betty is on top of everything. We can rely on her to relay messages to to Doc Barbera and resolve any administrative problems that arise. I am so thankful to have Dr. Barbera and his amazing staff to help guide me through my health concerns!

Hands down the worst doctor i have ever seen in my life. Besides the fact he doesn't follow the hippa laws (he will call family members and talk about your medical stuff...called my girl about me, called my girls grandmother about her), he doesn't listen to his patients (im not the only one that thinks this, everyone I know personally that has seen him says the same thing. He is a quack of a doctor). The other week told me "dont go to the hospital if you have chest pains or feel like you're having a heart attack...its just anxiety"... today it was "I dont care".. we already know he doesn't care about what his patients are dealing with...but to actually say it to your face. "I dont care" (we were talking about my medical stuff). I really hope people read this review and find another doctor before going to him. I have never been to a doctor that cares so little for their patients.
