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.

Dr. James Barnes
He has always been everything one could want or expect from a health care provider. I have found him to be almost intuitive in important life-changing situations. I went to visit him with a very supposedly small complaint that could have easily been ignored, but it turned out to be pancreatic cancer. As a result of his quick action I received help in a timely manner and have had an outcome far better than I could have ever imagined.

SUPERB!!!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Barnes for about 7 years now. I love that he has a conversation with me and actually listens to my concerns. When it comes to tx, he doesn’t push a bunch of pills on me but patiently gives me all of my options and lets me choose the route that feels comfortable to me. He runs a little late for my appointment, but NEVER makes me feel rushed. Instead, he gives me the focused attention that I need in that moment and I believe he does this for others as well; so I plan accordingly. NO COMPLAINTS!!

Dr. Barnes has been my doctor for almost 20 years. Because of the trust I have in him he has been the only primary care doctor my 4 children has been to. He takes his time with us. He involves us in our health care. He explains eveything so its understandable. He is easy to talk to and confide in. When it's time for the well child visits he makes it fun for the kids. They have never been scared to go to the doctor's office. I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with our health care. We are blessed to have such are caring doctor. He feels like family.
