Dr. Barker did a great job communicating once the surgery was done. Felt more comfortable.From the beginning we felt like he cared about making her better.
Initial visit was a consultation and scheduling for MRI. My optimism is that we can come a solution for my bursa in my knee.
Dr. Barker was very nice. He was attentive and very capable.
Best care ever. All around top notch organization!!!
Direct and to the point but bedside manner is great. Harped on "active recovery," which has proven to be a great approach as I am out of brace and off crutches only 5 weeks postop ACL reconstruction with allograft. Would definitely recommend.
Very caring!
Friendly, knowledgeable, listened to me.
Great doctor who listens, explains and shows real care.
5 star
Personable, knowledgeable and explained things well. I highly recommend Dr. Barker!
