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.

Excellent Doctor; Nursing & Office Staff
My brother and I have been going to Dr. Barrett for many years. He's very thorough and follows up to ensure that you understand lab results and/or any other testing that may have been necessary to find answers. Highly recommend Dr. Barrett as well as his support staff who all treat you like family. We should all remember to recognize the customer service, lab and nursing employees.

Excellent and thorough
Dr. Barrett is the best doctor I have ever had. He listens and digs to find the cause of conditions. He is friendly and never seems rushed.

Been my internal medicine doctor for a decade now, and is the best I've ever had (I'm 66). Knows his stuff, listens, is concerned, and blunt when needed (it's easy to fall prey to supplement marketers). Bonus: Calls me at night when a concerning lab report reaches him. How many doctors do that? His office and staff work well, nice location out of the city (hence, no traffic or parking issues).

Dr. Barrett is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He's knowledgeable, compassionate, very thorough and takes his job and responsibilities very seriously. He takes plenty of time with you during his exams, discussing the results/observations and listening to your questions and feedback. You never feel that he's in a rush. If a lab or test comes back with something of concern, he'll call you himself to discuss it rather than having his nurse or office staff call.

Simply the best! Everything you'd want in a Primary Care Physician ... friendly, caring, knowledgeable, thorough ... a pleasure to have an appointment with him. In my experience, he is a rare find, indeed. His "bedside manner" is impeccable, and even if you have a range of issues he's carefully overseeing all of them and getting you to see a specialist at the earliest sign of a problem.

As a medical professional; personal opinion based on care of family mem.: calls are never ret.(even crisis related); never gives stock size samples of expensive meds (ANY samples!) despite Pharm reps having such to give/ do give him; staff is rude, arrogant and overall just as incompetent. Orders unnecessary tests/labs and OV; does not review interconnected EMR labs/notes from other physicians to prevent reordering same test/lab etc. below ans. based on fmly members experiences

Dr Barrett is the most caring physician I have ever met. I am 70 years old and have seen many doctors. Dr Barrett takes time to listen. He actually treat you like family. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a physician that cares and is an excellent doctor.
