Very knowledgeable, empathetic, and professional. He made talking about what can be a bit embarrassing very easy. Excellent listener, asked pointed questions to assist in determining exactly what I was feeling. I would highly recommend him. Barry is an asset to the practice.

Dr. Shinsel is genuinely amazing. It’s hard to find a doctor that doesn’t make you feel like they have to hurry and get you out the door. He made me feel validated and comfortable and it’s not very comfortable sharing intimate bowel issues but with him, he gives you that safe space to tell him everything. He gave me hope that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

Barry conducted a thorough interview to determine a course of action. However the scheduler has never contacted me after I was told that she would call me yesterday after her lunch break.
