I don’t even have the right words to describe how truly amazing our experience was. I have been searching for answers on my own for my son for many years. With no real luck on “self diagnosing” him. Which I don’t recommend by the Show moreway. We finally broke down and decided to seek a medical professional. Our pediatrician referred us to Dr. Barros. I was incredibly skeptical because I didn’t want someone to push medication on us from the get go. So my first impression of the office was great. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The office was very neat and clean. The exam room was decorated very kid friendly and very comfortable and calming. Dr. Barros was very calm and collected when he spoke with me. He answered all on the hundreds of questions I had as well as answering the one my son had. We both left the appointment feeling like a huge weight had been lifted. So many answers that I had been searching for were finally clear. I would absolutely recommend this office to any of my parent friends. Our boat was beyond excellent and I look forward to moving though this new chapter in my sons life with him.
This doctor is very caring and really cares about the well being of the kids. However if you decide to go to this office, be prepare to wait for this doctor. It looks like she’s the only one in the office, not only will you wait iShow moren the sitting area for about 5 min (which is not bad), you will wait in the room they assign you for about 30 min. Also the front desk girl is rude, the two on the side are really nice, but the girl you see once you open the door needs to be more generous, last time i entered she acted like she didn’t see me and then she says “i didn’t see you cuz you were hiding” yet the two other girls on the side saw me very clearly and had to let her know i was waiting on her.
