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.

I was very fortunate to have Dr. Barreiro as my surgeon. He explained everything to me before the operation in a way that I could understand. It has been three years since my triple bypass, and I could not feel better. I can only imagine how much dedication and skill it takes to accomplish what he does on a daily basis. Had it not been for that life saving surgery I most definitely would not be typing this. Thank You Dr. Barreiro I am and will forever be grateful.

Dr Barreiro performed an valve sparing aortic root replacement surgery on me in 2013 and did an excellent job. Have had zero issues since. He saved my life from the aortic aneurysm. Thank you Dr B!

Coming in contact with the Dr and his staff was tough for me baring my situation. Mrs. Cheryl made me feel extremely at ease and although heart surgery is scary and hearing the steps to complete the surgery made my anxiety ultimately high but by the grace of God Dr. B and his staffing team i know im in great hands. I thank you in advance for helping me and i cannot wait to thank you after you are finished. Thank you for listening to and answering my questions.

Dr. Barreiro is a man's man. I say that because not only has he proven to be a skilled surgeon in my case, he maintains a good family life which I learned when I found out he is coach on his sons baseball team. Patients have a right to expect the surgeon be competent. It's just nice to know the job doesn't totally define him. His family and his practice are fortunate to count him on their teams.
