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. Barron is terrific!
Her professionalism and care for me was (and still is ) very comforting.

Expert in Breast Disorders
Dr. Barron is very personal, listens to concerns, and explains mammograms. I am very confident in her training and experience; I am a breast cancer survivor. Highly recommend her; and San Antonio blessed to have her expertise.

Thorough Consultation
Telehealth
I was pleased that Dr. Barron was thorough in her exam. She wanted to be sure what the problem was and went through a series of examinations to find out precisely what we were dealing with. It was also convenient that I was allowed to have TeleHealth consultation since I do not live in San Antonio.

Breast Cancer Counseling, Surgery, and Follow-up
I appreciate Dr. Barron's caring and thorough counseling that she has provided during a difficult time of identifying breast cancer and preparing me for surgery. The surgery was as easy as could be, surrounded by outstanding staff at Methodist Landmark. She called as soon as she received the pathology reports and explained the results. I feel that she has kept me informed every step of the way and provided me the best possible care.

Excellent Care During a Difficult Time
I saw Dr. Barron after being diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer. I was concerned about my options and she took the time to explain my diagnosis and the choices I needed to make moving forward. She was kind and hopeful and I left her office feeling better than when I went in. She also gave me a great recommendation for DIEP flap reconstruction and performed the surgery alongside excellent plastic surgeons.

Dr. Barron has been a fantastic doctor
I was referred to Dr. Barron for breast surgery consultation after an irregular mammogram and breast biopsy. She always very clearly outlined treatment options and also seemed to be on the cutting edge of the industry, sharing insights and new drug options that’d shed learned about at conferences she attended. She did my breast surgery to remove several benign intraductal papillomas. Dr. Barron helped me understand all the benchmark studies and my personal risk factors for developing breast cancer in my lifetime. I felt incredibly well taken care of in Dr. Barron’s care and will be sorry to see her relocate from North Texas.

I am so happy I chose Dr. Barron to be my surgeon. She is an excellent doctor. She is very friendly and made me feel very comfortable in asking as many questions as possible that I wanted and answered them with a smile. Thanks to her excellent staff, I was able to make an appointment with her in a timely manner, which was very important to me. I am very pleased.

Fantastic Surgeon
Dr. Barron was my surgeon for my first ever diagnosis of breast cancer and she did two lumpectomies 10 days apart. She was a great communicator, explained everything really well, answered all my questions, really put me at ease and did a terrific job with both surgeries. Several other providers who treated me had wonderful things to say about her, which was quite something given she's fairly new to this area.
