Dr. Barber, is the best of the best. He takes time with me to talk about anything that I have going on. He is very easy to talk to and cares deeply about his patients. Never have I felt rushed when in the room talking to him. Dr. Barber has helped me with so much over the past 30 plus years. Highly recommend him to anyone.

Has an over whelming attitude of “I don’t care“. And is literally never in the office. I’ve been out of medicine for almost a week now and still haven’t been able to reach him and get a refill. I will not be back.

I became a patient a couple of years ago, and I love it. I will drive from Zachary to see him, and the staff is always helpful and friendly.
