This Guy is good, did my totally non functioning right hand shoulder last year and it is now as good as new, just had the left one done
Dr Barker is a great listener and I trust his advise. He’s treated me for multiple shoulder and knee injuries.
Provided excellent care and offered a plan of action. He also made me feel that other options could be put in place if needed.
Should have done the surgery years ago.
He was very knowledgeable
🙏😇👏🙌
Patient and kind care. Dr. Barker really listened to my concerns and was confident we could work through treatment to get me in a better place.
Always kind and wonderful!
