Dr Barros was my primary care doctor for more than 5 years. I started going to him because he was one of the few listed on my not so good insurance at the time. I have multiple sclerosis and also 4 or 5 herniated disk in my back. My wife wanted to meet with Dr Barros with me for consultation of my health concerns. After the meeting and other issues after many other appointments she thought he was incompetent and I should get a new primary care doc. I should have listened to the wife. On one appointment I had a 1/4 inch skin tag or something on my leg and had Dr Barros remove it. He did remove it but he also made a long maybe 3 inch incision mostly superficial I am guessing so he could bill my insurance for a lot more money. My wife called him a butcher when she saw what he had done. He keeps bad records and cant remember what he is treating you for from one appointment to the next. At one time he had fairly good staff but the turnover of his employees in the last year or so his help has been incompetent also. Barros has had me on pain meds for several years. At my last and final appointment they somehow performed a drug test wrong and he would not renew my prescription for the pain meds and would not even talk to me about it or do the test over. If you know anything about pain meds it is dangerous not to taper down the doses for a patient and withdrawals can be very bad and have complications. Dr Barros just abandoned me to suffer. I left his office and had the same test done correctly at another office and they are tapering me down correctly from those meds. I am now going to find another primary care doctor that is hopefully more competent. This doctor has never checked my prostate or given a very good overall checkup. I probably should have requested better checkups but that is not my job it is his. I am not feeling well and hope my new doctor does not find anything Dr Barros may have missed.

Dr Barros is a good Doctor but his staff will cause you a lot of grief. I was sent to a specialist with a referral. Two weeks later when I went to the new Doctor there was no referral, The office had failed to send it. I called several times and the answer was we are working on it. 40 minutes later still no faxed referral. I had to leave the Doctors office because it was 30 minutes past the appointment time. This was a 50 mile drive there and 50 back. And the worst thing is the office tried to say it was my fault because I did not call them and check on the referral .Since when Do you have to call a Doctors office to see if they are doing there Job?

I am a new patient here, and I am pleased that Dr. Barros was VERY thorough with my initial exam. His staff is efficient and courteous. Very professional group, grateful to have found them.
