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.

Does not return patient phone calls
April 17, 2025My parent is a patient of Dr. Barringer and North Memorial Health; called the clinic on three separate occasions relating to problems with pain, each time was told 'someone' would get back to them. No one has ever returned the calls. One of the nurses advised it could take up to a week to get someone to respond.

Nice guy but bad experience. He dismissed all of my concerns about my health and body, he didn't send out referrals to the specialists he told me he was going to refer me out to causing me extra bodily harm. I would not recommend him at all and I hope in the future he takes the care of his patients more seriously.

I was a first time visitor and a last time patient in one visit. Though he is nice, I felt like every concern I brought up about my own body he dismissed. He did not take my concerns seriously except for feminine ones which he couldn't argue. Do Not Recommend.

Dr. Barringer has many years of experience. He does his best to make sure his patients are cared for in every way. Dr. Barringer asks many detailed questions to get as many details as he can. He can't fix everything but he sure tries.
