Dr. Barnhorst's admin and service staff are efficient, knowledgeable and personal ---something you don't see much in today's high speed text me world. Dr Barnhorst himself is unusual in that he listens and then proceeds to examine and diagnose. Since I work in healthcare (not a practitioner) I can assure anyone reading this review that those are the qualities that one needs when you are placing your or your families well being in a physicians care. The MD after his name means something!

Very happy with Dr. Barnhorst and his staff. Referred by VA. much much better than going to Shands. If you are a VA patient ask to see Dr Barnhorst.

Dr. Barnhorst has one of the best patient manners of all doctors that I have visited with. He takes extra care and patience with my elderly mother and makes her feel confident in his care and well treated in her diagnosos and care. I highly recommend Dr. Barnhorst and his capable staff.
