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.

Lifesaver!
I would not be alive today if it were not for the lifesaving rib plating surgery of Dr Barquist. By the grace of God, he was the trauma surgeon on duty when I was crushed by my car. At age 66 I was not suppose to survive my injuries! However Dr Barquist's surgical skills saved my life!

My Mother is a current patient of Dr, Barquist. He has taken such good care of her and continues to put her needs above anything else. He has also been great at keeping our family up to date, as Mom's condition has changed. Dr. Barquist has answered every question and addressed every concern that Mom and the rest of our family has. I would highly recommend him.

Totally lacks empathy, compassion or kindness. Should not deal with patients or family. Doesn't come off as caring at all. Was flat out rude when asked any questions. My brother was in ICU for weeks and all that time they never even cleaned the blood off of his face from his accident.

He has no bedside manner. He acts so arrogant, yet it took him over six hours to remove a gallbladder. On average that same procedure takes qualified surgeons an hour. He should leave that procedure to the qualified surgeons instead of exposing a patient to anesthesia for such an extended period of time!!!!
