Featured Review
Dr. Barber is more than an outstanding Neurosurgeon. This man was given a surgeons hand and mind by God. My 96 year old mother was almost paralyzed. She can now feed herself, dress herself, stand still without her possibly falling to the floor…she can once again walk by herself. This young man should be Professor not Assistant Professor. There will never be the right words to describe his abilities. I beg you if you have a spinal or neck problem only let Dr. Barber work on you. He has tools and abilities no other doctor has!
