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 was helpful and when I needed to schedule a follow up appointment, her office staff put me through an absurd set of requirements before i could even ask for an appointment! They wanted all information from all physicians i had consulted with in the past year to be submitted to them and then perhaps they will schedule an appointment. Got to find a new physician.

Not going back – Feb 25, 2021
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bartis?
The biggest problem I had with Dr. Bartis is that she is a chronic liar. She first told me That she could only prescribe a certain amount per day because I did not have their MRI done yet, and that they were going to have new laws passed after 1-1-2019. Then after January she said the laws they passed did not allow her to increase it. and during the conversation she said that besides that, she had already gotten a letter from the DEA threatening her license and she was not gonna lose her license just because of me. I wish there was a below zero point system so I could give her a way lower score.

Had steroid injections from her. She doesn’t explain things. If you ask a question it feels like you are making her perturbed. Bedside manner is not good.
Office staff is horrible. NEVER EVER will they return a phone call.
Mentioned this to the Doctor and she shrugged it off as the norm.
Will not return to her office.

IF EVER, ONE HAS EVER USED A REVIEW TO MAKE A CHOICE IN A DOCTOR, TRUST THIS ONE. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS CLINIC AND DOCTOR. I DID NOT KNOW DOCTORS AND CLINICS COULD OPERATE THIS WAY. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO EMPATHY, DOCTOR IS A BULLY, HAS NO RRESPECT FOR PATIENTS. TOO MUCH TO LIST.

I saw Dr.Bartis after my Dr retired, she changed my meds after working with my other Dr trying to find what worked for me. She accused me of taking other meds which was completely false! She is cold, text book dr. And doesn’t listen with any empathy. I’m looking for a new Dr. She changed my meds 3 times because she apparently thinks you don’t need what your other Dr prescribed.

I went to see DR Bartis. my pain DR retired at the end of Nov. I had been with him for 8 yrs; I went to see her to get my pain meds. She would not give me the amount I have been taking for 7 yrs. She cut me back to 1/3 of the amount I had been taking. Of course I was sick for 3weeks & now I am in more pain.So think hard about seeing her unless you want to lose what you are taking. God Bless you all. Have a Merry xmas.

I was delighted with Dr. Bartis and her staff. Everything and everyone was very professional. Dr. Bartis was very detailed and concerned. My first meeting with her was very positive. At my following appointment, she performed a spinal injection which has resulted in fantastic reduction of pain in my back and leg. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Dr. Bartis refuses to fill out my FMLA paperwork,because she demands I have an injection,Ive called her office two days trying to find out what my out of pocket expense will be, her office staff say they will call me back, but either dont,or they call me 2 mins before her office closes to tell me she refuses to fill out the paperwork. This will put my job in jeopardy if I have to take any days off for treatment...She just doesnt care.

Dr. Bartis is thourough while remaining cautious. I totally appreciate the fact that she wants to avoid invasive treatments as long as possible. I also appreciate the fact that she chose to delay further treatment until an MRI was available. This makes me feel safe with Dr. Bartis!

Dr. Bartis was vey nice but I did not feel like she understood my condition or what my needs were. She does not believe in opiates for chronic pain management and states she only orders opiates for short term use after procedure and/or surgeries. I did try a few other things that she asked me to but nothing worked! I am sad that I will have to change doctors since she cannot control my pain.

When you first meet Dr. Bartis, your first reaction might be, Is she even old enough to have an undergraduate degree, much less a doctorate? The answer is not only YES, but she is also somewhat of a prodigy! Don't allow her youth to fool you...Dr. Bartis is extremely qualified at what she does, and is also very knowledgeable about other medical specialties, as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a need for pain management. My cervical stenosis pains are completely gone!!

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bartis?
Dr. Bartis was the first doctor I have had who listened to my story and actually looked for a cause of my pain. I have seen several doctors for my back pain and they all gave me a few minutes of time before writing a pain prescription and sending me on my way. I'm not someone who likes taking medications so covering up whatever was causing my pain with drugs did not make me happy. Dr. Bartis located the source of my pain and after my injections I feel like a new person. THANK YOU! Dr. B
