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. 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.

Dr. Barrett is a very caring and compassionate doctor. He takes the time to explain things so you understand the procedure that's being done. He is the best doctor in the area for colon/rectal surgery.
