Dr. Barber is a terrific doctor and person. I particularly like his attitude and manner when discussing my health. He explains things thoroughly and takes his time. The medications he prescribes always do the trick. He knows how to make you feel cared for.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Barber
I have been seeing Dr. Donald Barber for twenty-plus years. Sixteen years ago I had one of those heart check exams and it showed what appeared to be a small spot on my left lung. After consultations, Dr. Barber insisted I have an exploratory operation at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. It turned out I had lung cancer and two-thirds of my left lung was removed. Frankly put, his insistence… See more
Dr. Barber accepted me in to his practice out of the great kindness of his heart. He had been my husband's doctor for many years, but not mine. But when I asked him, even though he was probably full, he accepted me. And he has been an absolute Prince with me...he listens, (a lot), he is always positive even when I've been a super challenge for him, and I know he truly cares.
It was such a great comfort to know that Doc was not on a time schedule that prevented him from responding to my concerns. Oh yes, and he know what email is unlike MOST other practitioners... I feel fortunate am I under his care, I'm just sayin...
I truly believe that Dr. Barber saved my life on two separate occasions- once with prostate cancer and the other with breast cancer (yes, I am one of the few unfortunate males to have breast cancer). In neither case did I have outward symptoms and did not suspect the cancer on either occasion. Thank you, Dr. Barber
Dr. Barber is always there for me. He listens to my concerns and takes excellent care of resolving them. I have been his patient for decades and trust his judgment 100.

caregiver.
In the early nineteen nineties we hit the Jackpot when we found Dr. Donald W. Barber, M.D. Our cardiologist, Dr. Paul D.

He suggested Dr. Barber.
We found Dr. Barber to be extremely competent, perceptive,… See more
A great doctor and person. Up on the latest research, etc. Always very attentive and, most importantly, basically saved my life when it became clear I might have lung cancer in a very early stage. Really can`t say enough good things about Donald Barber, MD.
Dr Barber is a compassionate and extremely competent physician. I trust his judgement and appreciate his advice.
