I take the first appointment due to a very busy work schedule since the doctor doesn’t offer weekend or evening appointments. I had to take time off but took the first appointment to insure that I wouldn’t have a long wait. First the technician takes a personal phone call while she is taking my vitals. Then they put me in a room where I wait for 40 minutes before asking where the doctor was since no one came in. I was then told by the staff that he must be running late. They didn’t even know for sure. Not so much as a phone call or an apology and I wound up leaving without seeing the doctor. Time to find a new doctor That respects his patients.

Took the first appointment due to a very busy work schedule. First the technician takes a personal phone call in the middle of taking my vitals. Then they put me in a room and I sit there for 40 minutes before asking where the doctor was. I was then told “he must be running late”. There are no evening or weekend appointments so I had to take time off from work to make this appointment and wound up leaving before getting an examination because the doctor wasn’t even there. I think it’s time to find a new doctor that respects his patients. I didn’t even so much is get an apology.

When other doctors at some of the finest hospitals wrote me off as no longer treatable, Dr. Barreras is saving my life. His incredible brilliance and creative approach to fight cancers is a testimony to his importance. I trust Dr. Barreras completely. His compassion and caring brings grateful years to my eyes. I love this man.

my wife went to him for two different treatment periods. his bedside manor was terrible and very unprofessional. came across as very insensitive at time of hardship. walks around like god when things were going good, very distant when things had turned. seemed more interested in money ! one of my life's worst experiences ! hope i never see him again or i'll tell him to his face what i think !
