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 Barker is very thorough, appointment was on time. She is professional and works with my other specialists. Excellent physician

She refused to refill my Cymbalta that I take for tremors, depression and fibromyalgia! I begged for help for a week! My original pc put my on it for that reason and Barker refused to refill it for me and told me to see a psychiatrist I told her I didn't have! Now I'm missing work, insanely depressed, in a lot of pain and the tremors haven't stopped! I had to go online and find another doctor and I'm still waiting for my medicine this week. I feel like I'm being tortured. She doesn't deserve the title of doctor and I am not sorry for saying that. You're supposed to help people! Shame on you for causing people to quit cold turkey!

This was my first visit with Dr Barker and she could not have made a better first impression. She asked all the right questions and answered all of my questions directly and with no nonsense. VERY happy with her, I have found my new PCP!

I always have a very good visit with Dr. Barker. I am used to having doctor visits that are rushed. Dr. Barker takes her time, and asks me questions about my life, even when she's running behind. I always feel as though she cares about me. I'm glad she is younger than I am and will hopefully will be my doctor for many more years.

Typical uppity know it all wannabe, vaccine pusher. I felt like I was there to serve her. I don't get vaccines. Never did, and never will. She wouldn't drop it and kept asking why. Another issue is, I told her vitamin D runs low in my family. She's says, no not possible. That's not hereditary. It actually is dummy, because I just told you it is.

Dr Barker is great. She doesn't rush me when I have questions and she answers my questions clearly & thoroughly. She is fairly direct but not in an off-putting way.

This is the worst doctor's office I've ever been too, the communication between the office and the patient is HORRIBLE, they have no sense of urgency and I definitely wouldn't recommend if you need a time sensitive surgery, they are giving me the run around last min.

I really like Dr. Barker - I took my Mom to see her and my Mom is not a fan of doctors but she liked her too. She spends a lot of time with her asks many questions and really cares about her patients.
