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.

He is an awesome Dr. he explains everything to you and has very good bed side manners. Also his staff are very respectful and very nice. Very caring staff and doctor.

Dr. Barver is the best. He operated on my leg which had multiple skin tears and a fractured kneecap. Post surgery care has been excellent.

I was involved in a mountain biking accident and was unable to stand and bear weight. Two pelvic fractures were identified by the radiologist and I was referred to Dr. Barber for treatment. Dr. Barber later identified a spinal fracture that was missed by the radiologist and he adjusted my treatment to ensure my full recovery.

My aunt was in a head on car accident and she shattered both or her legs in 2014. Dr. Barber did about 4 complicated surgeries and he did an awesome job. He made sure that us, the family, were always in the loop. He would send a nurse to gives us updates throughout the time he was in surgery with her. Most surgeries lasted 5-8 hours long and he still managed to come out with a smile on his face to let us know how successful he was. My aunt is now starting therapy to walk without assistants.

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in Nov 2012. Dr Barber basically put me back together again after many others said I wouldn't make it through the night or the surgeries. I am confident I am walking today and alive because of Dr Barbers quick thinking and ability to meet the challenge. Also the scars he left on me from surgery are some of the smallest neatest incisions I've ever seen once healed.
