Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2018
I was referred to Dr. Barker in mid-2016 by another doctor in his field who was a trusted professional recommendation. I am so glad to have found Dr. Barker's VA Surgical Practice and feel fortunate to have been a patient of his, which was a life-saving medical intervention for me. I found Dr. Barker to be thoughtful & thorough, as well as literally 'cool, calm + collected' in his patient interactions with me. I had total confidence in his competence and surgical experience from the start.
