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 Barrett is a wonderful and caring person.
She put me at ease about my eye problem and listened to my concerns.
I am forever grateful and have recommended her to many if my friends.

A very productive visit. I had issues seeing at night after having had bi-lateral cataract surgery three years before. She gave me a thorough exam and referred me to one of the surgeon/specialists at Eye Consultants. It turned out that I had some scar tissue that had developed which we wanted addressed as quickly as possible. After laser surgery I am doing just great. She took the time to help.

Dr. Barrett is highly professional, competent, courteous, listened well to all of my questions and provided complete understandable answers. Moreover, she thoughtfully offered several suggestions for improving my eye care. I can highly recommend Dr. Barrett for optometric care. Note the wait time was mostly related to pupil dilation.
