5.0 star star star star starI love Dr. Emma Barber. I trust her totally. She saved me from endometrial cancer, explained every detail, gave me a successful surgery and almost 5 years later is still monitoring my health and watching for any recurrence. She makes me feel at ease. She had a wonderful resident with her today that will be great to her patients too. It's obvious, you can tell. I really enjoyed talking to Dr. Barber's medical assistant who was so friendly to me. She loved her job.
