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.

Most horrible doctor that I ever seen caused my mother to loss her eye because he put a Sclera buckle on to tight and caused her to loss her eye within less than 24 hours

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Barr?
At first Dr. bar had his resident look at me and I had to answer a lot of questions, but they were really good questions. When Dr. bar came in, he also did a quick exam. He spoke very loudly, which was not necessary for me, but if you have hearing issues, he would be the man to see. I thought he was very thorough even though he was quick. He had a decent bedside manner and I was very happy with my visit with him.

About Me

care philosophy

I believe that there is no greater opportunity, responsibility or joy for a physician than to preserve vision or heal the blind. The challenge of diagnosis and management of retinal diseases continues to inspire me to do my best for every patient.
