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.

Bad service - Bad attitude
I didn't have a chance to meet the doctor, I only saw the assistant in my appointment. I did a year preventive exam, asked them to review with my insurance coverage and they said everything was ok. Now I'm getting bills and they said I should have call the insurance directly. Bad service, they don't care about the patient and they lie. Now I'm not sure if the results they gave me are good and I have to check with another doctor. Do not trust that doctor's office.

I had been searching for a new PCP when a friend recommended Doctor “B” and I was able to get an appointment as a new patient rather quickly- Staff girls are accommodating and my visit was very thorough-I am super happy I switched!

Reasonable wait times, clean environment, personalized one on one care by an experienced doctor- I’ve only been there a couple of times and the staff remembers who I am, I feel I am taken care of, specially now that most medical offices make you feel like just another patient-

For healthy, without any risks people he might be ok, but for people with evident health risks Dr Barrial fails to do his job. My dad has been going there for years and he has been a smoker for many years. Every year he orders a chest xray. This year he has been diagnose with a 6 cm lung mass. There is something called low dose CT scan, it is a screening test for lung cancer in smoker. Every Dr I have spoke with know about this test because it is the standard screening test order for high lung cancer risk and was never order to my dad. This tumor would have been caught at an earlier stage. If you are only looking for your annual reg check up go for it. If you want a Dr who looks at you as a whole, and treats you like you are his family, and actually cares about you and helps you dont go with him. They dont care. For someone who s specialty is in geriatrics there are only two choices, you lack knowledge or compassion and im guessing he lacks the last one. Careless Doctor.

Unfortunately, when I really need to see the doctor because of illness, he is not available. Completely booked. They would give me an appointment in two weeks. Emergencies should be handled urgently it is what doctors are for.

Just terrible. I called to speak to him 5 times in the course of a week because my father(also his patient) was admitted to ICU. NOT ONCE did he return my call. I even called crying one time . NOTHING.

I wouldn't visit this doctor unless you have a half day to waste n his waiting room, and another half day to sit in the exam room before he blesses you with his presence. His staff is incompetent and he never has appointments available. I made an appointment to be the first appointment in his afternoon shift (as I do regularly) and wound up waiting over an hour and 45 minutes in his waiting room as his staff called in every other patient that came in after me.

They have the rudest receptionist ever! They took my blood three weeks ago and they have had my results for 3 days sitting in their office. When I called to see what the status was they said they had not reviewed my results because they were too busy and they have a lot of patients. Unbelievable. Completely unapologetic and unprofessional.
