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.

Dr. Barrett took the time to dig into my medical history and make sure I had the appropriate follow up care I needed. I was there for a complaint that she also made a priority. I am very pleased with her and her staff.

Meticulous Caring Patient Attentive!
If you're searching for a doctor who is truly dedicated to your well-being, Dr. Barrett is the one. She came highly recommended by my family doctor at a time when I was close to losing hope in finding a physician who wouldn't just attribute my gyn health issues to my weight. Dr. Barrett is attentive, never rushes appointments, promptly answers all questions, swiftly arranges necessary tests, and always finds a way to help. Having undergone several minor surgeries, and recently having a full hysterectomy under her care, I can attest to the exceptional level of attention and care she provides. The staff at her office are incredibly kind and supportive. I cannot recommend her enough!

I've been going to Katherine Barrett for 22 years. Never thought of going elsewhere. She listens, never had any issues with the staff, always helpful. I go to her for gyn, not for obstectrics.

5 stars aren't enough to reflect how much I appreciate Dr. Barrett. I've been a patient for almost 20 years and she has taken excellent care of me. She has personally called me numerous times when she knew I would be concerned about test results, etc. I wish all of my providers were as thorough and committed as Dr. Barrett!
