Dr. Barrett is one of the best doctors that I have ever had. He is caring and has an excellent bedside manor. He always takes the time to explain things to you and treats you as a person not just another patient. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Dr. Barrett did colon surgery on me after my cancer diagnosis. I have never had any problems since the surgery. He has tremendous bedside manner and is very empathetic.

DR. MICHAEL BARRETT,MD, FOUND THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING (BLEEDING INTERNALLY), AND OPERATED ON ME, DUE TO A 'RECTAL PROLAPSE', WHEN FOUR OTHER DOCTORS DIAGNOSED ME WITH 'HEMROIDS'. THE PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE, AND DOCTOR BARRETT "SAVED MY LIFE". HE HAS A BEDSIDE MANNER THAT MADE ME COMFORTABLE, AND, I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM 'HIGHLY' TO ANYONE WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE PROBLEM I HAD. THANK YOU DR. BARRETT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

5 months ago Dr Michael Barrett fixed an issue that I had been suffering with for many years. The issue is gone, recovery was relatively easy, and my quality of life has been greatly improved. In my opinion, Dr Barrett is the definition of what a doctor should be. I highly recommend him.
