“Dr Barnett and his staff always ...”
Dr Barnett and his staff always show empathy and concern for my well being. I never get the impression that I am being "rushed through" the visit because I am a senior citizen on medicare - something I do sometimes feel with other doctors. This is very comforting to me. Thank you!
