Patient Reviews
Mar 21, 2019
At first Dr. bar had his resident look at me and I had to answer a lot of questions, but they were really good questions. When Dr. bar came in, he also did a quick exam. He spoke very loudly, which was not necessary for me, but if you have hearing issues, he would be the man to see. I thought he was very thorough even though he was quick. He had a decent bedside manner and I was very happy with my visit with him.
