We are born empty handed and when we end our life we depart empty handed. The journey you take from birth to death has to be an enjoyable one. You choose the pathway so make sure you do what is best for you. Along the way we need help from others to guide us along the the right path. That is where you need a caring healthcare provider who can listen and guide you. Dr Barber has done just that… See more
I have been a patient of Dr. Barbers for as long as I can remember. His annual exams and suggestions made as a result, have always been spot on. He has been able to get me to a physical status that hopefully will keep me going for years to come. In times during the year when I have had an issue or question, I have contacted the doctor thru the MDVIP portal and have received a return call… See more
We had 10 years of my mother needing care. When I was overwhelm with giving her the best end of life care, Dr. Barber was always there for us. He would stay on the phone with me until I was okay.
The best thing he said was “You are not alone. We are a team.”

Second, my Apple Watch told me my heart rate was way too low, in the 40 range. After a… See more
I have been a patient of Dr. Barber for nearly 20 years! I am now 82 years old. I feel that he understands me well and he is in tune with my health! I had an health episode 18 months ago or so. Suddenly I lost 10 pounds of my weight in two weeks!! I was alarmed and scared. I had no other problems and Dr. Barber was on his summer vacation and had asked me to get a blood test before he returned… See more
I've been lucky enough to be in relatively good health, but Dr. Barber is a big part of that. He's always been there for me, year after year.
Do I give him grief about those prostate exams? You bet.
I love the guy anyway.
Thank you for being you, Skip.
