Dr. Barber and his team did a great job with my growth scan l, explaining what they were looking for, and what they hoped to see next time.

Staff was very polite and provider took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand during my ultrasound. Left feeling relaxed and knowledgeable about my visit.

My provider is an exceptional doctor who shows compassion to his patients. The only bad experience I've ever had was when he had someone covering for him and she did not share the same level of care that he did for me.

I had four different appointments at this practice. The first three appointments went very well, and the providers were kind and understanding about my situation. This last appointment with Dr. Barber was very difficult. I have been diabetic for 30 years and this was my third pregnancy. Dr. Barbers care and bedside manner were less than kind. Both my husband and I left the office feeling like he was abrupt and rude given my circumstances. I 100% understand his concern for my child - I share those concerns, and worked every single day of my pregnancy to control my blood sugars so that my baby girl could be born healthy and come home with me. My first daughter was in the Nicu for several weeks and it was traumatizing for all of us. So I've done everything I can within the last two pregnancies to prevent that from happening again. Dr. Barber's tone implied that I wasn't giving my blood sugar control any effort. It felt like he hadn't read through my medical history to fully understand my past pregnancies. Well, I understand that this may be how a practitioner gets through to a patient who may not take a pregnancy seriously, I am not that type of patient. Pregnancy with diabetes is no joke - And I felt that every day and every hour. For him to come in and act as if I did not care about my blood sugars and wasn't doing enough to control them was out of line. If he had taken some time to ask me about my experiences, he would he would have understood my efforts and my own concerns were a heavy task that I don't take lightly. It was a difficult enough pregnancy for me - And I really didn't need a doctor coming in in the ninth inning to tell me that I wasn't doing a good enough job. Again, I completely understand the severity of my situation - But given that I've done this three times and been dealing with a life-threatening chronic illness for 30 years I understand that more than anyone.
