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. Barkodar is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and solution driven in ways I have never experienced in my healthcare but is kind and caring in her approach. She takes her time with you and makes sure your concerns are addressed to your satisfaction. Should you have a concern she cannot confidently answer, she will confer or research with her colleagues to provide the best possible answer/approach. She is truly invested in you as her patient and your health. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is.

everything neglected in my visit/annual physical: -No one took my temp once entering the office or touching anything, and didn’t screen me for symptoms. In fact someone else walked in and said they’re here for the “cough test” which was a COVID test since they then said they’ll get a 24 hr result. The waiting area is tiny and with five of us waiting during the first appointment time, we were not safely distanced. - I got a flu shot lying down and the nurse left after giving it. When I stood up to leave, the syringe was nested under my leg (not discarded in safety syringe box). - they did not take my height or do an exam looking in my nose mouth or ears. -W/o a height you can’t address BMI which is extremely important, mine is under 18 which has always been addressed by other doctors I’ve seen. - I stated an extensive fam hx of breast cancer and she neglected to do a breast exam -no eye exam/visual exam. - no questions about exercise. There’s more but 0 characters left.

I've been to Dr. Barkodar's office several times over the last year, and I'll never return again. The staff is nothing short of rude. You walk in the door, they look at you - and say nothing. This happened every time (been there four times). I overlooked it because I liked Dr. Barkodar. But last week was the last straw. I booked an annual physical, and took the time to go there. It's nowhere near where I live. Ten minutes into talking to the doctor, I brought up the physical, and she said she didn't know I was there for a physical. So I wasted three hours going to this appointment. When I followed up with the office to reschedule my physical, I explained their snafu, and said I didn't want to have to pay my $30 copay to return for the physical (which I traveled for, and fasted for, and already paid the copay for) The receptionist argued with me and said if I saw the doctor at all, that is what the copay is for. I explained that I didn't get the treatment I had scheduled (and gott

Dr. Barkodar has a vast amount of knowledge about the medical issues we all face. And the best thing is she really cares about her patients, and unlike many doctors she really listens to your problems. She is very good about coming up with the best solution to help treat the many medical issues we all encounter. She is very informed about the latest developments and studies in the medical field. She also takes the time to be thorough and does not rush you out of the office like so many other MDs

Dr. Barkodar has been nothing but helpful, patient and kind to my family and I. Some doctors just rush you out of the room to get to their other patients but she takes the time to explain everything in non medical terms and really listens to what you think is best for yourself, which is very important for me. They take your appointment on time and they're very organized, courteous and friendly. I've recommended Dr. barkodar to many of friends and family

Dr. Barkodar is the best. She takes her time to provide thoughtful care, explaining why I need each test and how it will change our decisions about future treatment. She always lets me know when she needs to ask a specialist for help, and always has great ones to recommend. I cant recommend her highly enough! Thanks for taking great care of all your patients and being there for us!!!!!
