From the initial visit to the pre-op to the surgery and aftercare - I felt confident that I was getting the best care possible. Everyone was so caring and professional - I can’t recommend Dr. Seng and his practice any more highly.

Review for Dr. Seng

Not very helpful, was not considerate in what I was experiencing. Seemed as though he did not believe what I was telling him. Would not recommend to anyone trying to get better.

Apr 20 2025

Review for Dr. Barczak

I don't know why people like this go into medicine. She cares not a bit for her patients. She is dismissive and sarcastic. I've never encountered a doctor with an attitude like this. I would recommend prison health care for this person.

Review for Dr. Johnson

The office staff is helpful and welcoming. The medical staff and Dr. Barber took the time to listen to my concerns. They explained everything thoroughly and I felt my issues were well taken care of. I highly recommend this practice.
