Dr Barnswell does what's best for patients. He is very thorough . I can see him that he's not in the profession for the money but love, passion for medicine . I referred several of friends and they all share the same sentiments.

Today’s visit was a follow up and continuing monitoring PSA for prostate cancer. Also monitoring the bladder for signs of bladder cancer. Dr. Barnswell and I have established continuing communication of my prostrate and bladder and have open communications about my conditions. He is easy to talk to and is open to suggestion of treatment. Couldn’t have asked for a better neurologist.
