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.

Test Results
I went to Westwood Cardiology for a check up, I was given a full blood panel and was asked to go get a Full Contrast CT Scan. I never heard back from anyone in the office for weeks about my results from either test. I called the office a few times asking about my results. I was told someone would get back to me. no one did. Not a Dr., PA, or Nurse. I had to look up on the Patient Portal for my results. But I’m not a doctor and don’t know what it all means. I know they are busy, but I’m not worth a Five minute phone call, to discuss my heart. I have noticed ever since this practice was bought out by Valley Hospital, it is not the same and they are being run like a Corporate Co. not an individual practice. When I called back this last time, I was told they would have only called me back, if something was wrong. I am sorry that does not sit well with me. Where is the patient empathy that they used to have. Dr. Barr is still a great doctor, just wish office was like old days.

Dr. Barr has been taking care of me since my heart attack,and I couldn't have asked for better treatment than that I received from Dr. Barr. I have used him as my cardiologist for approximately 2 years and I'm very happy with the medications he has put me on . I am85 years old and am doing extremely well under his supervision. He has a very pleasant manner andisvery thorough with his exams. I would recommend him him him anyone.

Dr. Barr has cared for both my parents following their heart surgeries in 1995 and 1998. I trust his opinion and expertise 100 percent. We have the highest regard for him in everyway. He is responsive to all concerns and cares and enjoys his work. He treats his patients as individuals and monitors and adjusts care as needed. On behalf if myself and my family we highly endorse and recommend Dr. Barr.

If you have to visit a cardiologist, Dr Barr provides a great deal of knowledge and re-assurance to ease one's concerns. He conducts himself with professionalism and is able to explain topics in layman's terms. As much as I prefer not being there, I have confidence in him as my physician.

Dr. Barr is a highly skilled physician with a wide range of knowledge. His excellent communication skills makes it easy to follow his dialogue. He discusses solutions that may interact with other medical conditions. His diagnosis over the years have been extremely accurate. There’s a comforting experience when speaking to him. He listens, I’ve not met many with this skill.

Doctor Barr is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring cardiologist. He has been my doctor for over 10 years and I value his views and guidance. He is very focused and prepared to discuss my issues in detail. He does not rush through our visits and provides a level of comfort and consistency which is important. Given my medical issues and the complexity of my heart condition in addition to my kidney transplant and related problems, he maintains a balance and objectivity which is critical.
