He has no idea how to talk to children or how to act around them. I don't know how he ended up being a pediatrician

My Son and I absoluteley hands down Love and would recommend Dr. John Barbara to everyone. The staff is also very professional and caring. Dr. Barbara is well educated and up to date with medical practices. He also goes the extra mile while diagnosing and treating kids. He is a loving and very personal doctor. My son loves him so much and only trust him. Before my son had surgery he would not calm down and go in until we told him that Dr. Barbara was coming soon. This is because of the loving relationship he has with each patient. My son see's him as one of his care givers.

Dr. Barbara is an excellent doctor, my daughter trusts him (she does not scream as soon as she sees him) and I feel like part of the family every time I go to his office. It is never fun when my daughter is sick but Dr. Barbara is always helpful.

Anesthesia should be given to a child with any type of surgery. My Grandbaby's vaginal area was closed and it had to be opened surgically without anesthesia, and that is too painful. That is not caring enough about that child. She is 2 years old.
