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.

One of the best general medicine doctors we’ve ever seen.

I asked for a copy of my bill and the doctor told me I was too needy. I was also told to find another doctor just for asking for a copy of my bill.

Dr. Barr has been treating my family for years. My husband is diabetic and he has gone out of his way to make sure that he receives the best care possible.

Outstanding family care. Both my wife and I have Dr. Barr as our general practitioner. We appreciate that he is always takes time to listens to all our concerns. About 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He gave me a prescription but he also shared a book about diet and diabetes. My wife and I read it and took it seriously. I have been off of diabetes meds for 5 years. I also lost a bunch of weight.

Dr Barr takes the time to listen. He will discuss treatment and why you need it. He and his staff has been fighting with my insurance company over my blood pressure medication. Express Scripts denied my medication but told me Dr Barr was not approving it. His staff called me and let me that they had been on the phone most of the time today trying to get my medication approved. I called Express Scripts I was finally told the truth that Express Scripts was denying it. Thank you for fighting

Doctor Barr has been my doctor for the last 5 years, I have only seen him a few times when I've needed things taken care of that were very important and to the point that I needed to visit the doctor. Most recently was yesterday I had been fighting a sickness since 2005 and was never able to find the problem back when I was in the military after many years, the problem had been laying dormant, it restarted its problematic issues in the last week. I went to see Dr. Barr about this after doing so

My wife and have seen Doctor Barr for several years. He is a great listener. His recommendations helped me get off of my type 2 diabetes medication. My last A-1c was great.

I will never see Dr. Barr again. First the office is disgusting. Second, he prescribed a medicine for me at a strength that was entirely too strong, without warning me about possible side effects. The first night I took it, I thought I would die. This same prescription caused a 15-lb weight gain in two months (known side effect). When I went for a followup, some of my blood tests were out of whack and he attributed it to my 15-lb weight gain, saying they would normalize if I lost the weight.
