Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She has been a blessing to me and my family.
Because of my medical condition I have seen many doctors. I also have lived in several states. I have yet to receive the kind of complete exam from head to toes ( literally) like Dr Barres does, from any other doctor or specialist. She is knowledgeable, caring, gentle, meticulous, understanding, and in so many ways a blessing. This is why she has been my doctor, my husband’s doctor, and my three adult children’s doctor for more than twenty years.

Dr. Barres has been my doctor for over 20 years now. She is amazing. I trust her explicitly! She is very knowledgeable as explains everything in detail. What I love most about her is she cares so much. I have moved but still travel 1.45 hours to keep her as my primary. I highly recommend her. We are lucky to have her!

Dr. Carmen Barres is always concerned about her patients and works very hard to assist in their healthcare needs. She has been my doctor many years and no matter what she has advised me it was always for my best health whether it was good or bad news. I have not had many doctors as caring and professional as she is. Both myself and husband are patients and I have noticed that she has a passion for her patients health and well being Awesome doctor who provides amazing healthcare. Charmaine James

I, personally as a man, would have been very reluctant to have a female as my personal Physcian. However, my wife scheduled an appointment with Dr Barres, and after seeing the care she gave to my wife quickly changed my mind. She is through and is concerned with her patients total health. She is NOW my personal physcian!

Dr Barres is super smart and zeros in on things other doctors might not catch! She counsels you about wellness too. And she gives it to you if you don't listen to her!

I have found Dr. Barres to be extremely professional; she is medically knowledgeable and patient. In addition, she is highly organized, focused, and perseverant. She always answers my questions and explains issues with me so that I understand what's going on with my health. I have been seeing her for over ten years and have followed her from LaBelle to Ft. Myers. I highly recommend her and have encouraged family and friends to see her, as well.
