Both Dr Barrett and Dr Stone were great, explaining the injection process and the benefits. They took their time, explaining as they went and I had zero pain. Just a little pressure. I was a little nervous after friends told me their horror stories. Personable and professional. I would definitely recommend Dr. Barrett!

Dr. Jim Barrett is an outstanding physician who truly exemplifies what great medical care should be. His professionalism was evident today in every way, and he approaches his work with a level of care and attention that immediately puts patients at ease. What sets Dr. Barrett apart is not just his medical knowledge, but his genuine compassion. He takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and makes sure you feel comfortable and understood throughout my entire visit. It’s rare to find a doctor who balances expertise with such a caring and respectful manner. I highly recommend Dr. Barrett to anyone looking for a physician who is both skilled and truly dedicated to their patients’ well-being.

Dr listened to my concerns and evaluated. We determined together a plan of action, which made me feel included in my own treatment. Most physicians don’t take that time these days.
