Patient Reviews
Nov 23, 2018
I recently had colon surgery by Dr. Barrera. As badly as I needed this procedure, I put it off until the option was gone. He explained everything to me in layman’s terms and without sugar coating it. His candor instills confidence in his ability which is what I needed to go through with the surgery. He has a wonderful demeanor, is dedicated to his patients and doesn’t cut corners when it comes to his time or efforts.
