Dr. Barfield gets my highest recommendation. He is consummate professional. A procedure was performed and it was my first time to utilize his services. Pat from Baton Rouge.

Doc Barfield was absolutely wonderful! I don't like having to see a new doctor because I never know if they will have the personality that I need as a patient. He had it all! Couldn't be more satisfied and have already been recommending him to my friends and family.

Dr. Barfield is one of the best doctors I have seen in Baton Rouge. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time with you when seeing him. Overall you seem to be more than just a patient of his practice.

Dr. Barfield recently performed a colon resection on me due to cancer. His bedside manner is incredible.....he is patient, kind, caring, sympathetic - just the kind of doctor you would want in such a situation. I recommend him without reservation.
