Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2023
Besides having to wait longer, both in the waiting room and exam room, I am very pleased with Dr. Barker. He seems truly interested in my condition and offers suggestions to try and help me. From my first visit, he was aware of the problems and acted like he really wanted to help me. The PA, Rebecca Landry, had spent a lot of time listening to me and offering suggestions that might could help. She was more interested and helpful than four other GI doctors I have seen through the years. I highly recommend her, too. I'm looking for a long relationship with both Dr. Barker and Rebecca.
