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 have been seeing Dr. Barber for many years and I am satisfied with the services he provides. However, since they have stopped doing the blood work at the Lady of the Lake, and formed it out to LabCorp, a "free" annual physical is costing me over $200. This is not acceptable and I will be looking for a new doctor if they can't fix this.

I assisted my mother because she is hard of hearing. She had recently had a hospital stay for a blood clot in her lung. He was wonderful and very patient with her. Also very determined to find out what caused the clot. He actually called me at home to make sure that she had made an appt with a Cardiologist and suggested that she should also see a Hematologist. I was shocked at the attention he gave her....I am so impressed.

Dr Barber has been my doctor for over 30 years, most compassionate doctor I have ever seen. He makes sure you understand everything that is going on and takes time to hear what is going on with you.

Dr. Barber was the weekend on-call physician when I needed immediate attention, though I was a primary care patient of Dr. Lee. I had a kidney condition and my urine was changing colors rapidly. He returned my call promptly, asked thorough questions, and gave me advice that solved my problem. He even called back the next day to check on me. He has a pleasant demeanor and a compassionate tone, and doesn't rush through a conversation. He's a great listener. I highly recommend.

I've had good experiences with him as a general practitioner. He runs a bit late, but with healthcare in the state it's in, that's not suprising.
