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.

Several years ago, I had the good fortune to be referred to Dr. David Barras as my ENT specialist. He has monitored and treated me for a variety of issues. He is one of the best trained, competent, proactive and thorough specialists I've encountered. Through his exceptional diagnosing, monitoring and treatment, Dr. Barras has my earned my complete trust and confidence. In addition, his staff - office to nursing are also exceptional - always getting it right the first time - efficient, friendly and complete. I would strongly encourage anyone who is in need of an ENT specialist to see Dr. Barras.

Dr. Barras has done a phenomenal job of getting my allergies under control so that I am no longer plagued by bouts of bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia. He is very thorough and concerned over my well-being. Now that I can breathe better, I've been able to start a running regimen!

Dr. Barras is very pleasant and thorough with a dry sense of humor we enjoyed. His diagnosis of my condition was spot on. His interactions with my family doctor and specialist were effective and meticulous. He provided my husband and I with easily understood verbal and written instructions. He deserves an A plus.

My entire family has seen Dr Barras, and I was so happy to see he was still practicing when my son had ear issues. Dr Barras was wonderful with my 18 month old, and got him the care he needed. He is always as available as possible, the staff is super helpful and friendly, and they are able to get my son in the same day when there's an issue. I can't say enough good things about the care and treatment I have experienced here.
