He is so gifted in what he does. He talks to my children, not about them. He involves them 100% and doesnâ€™t talk down to them. He allows questions and really genuinely creates a relationship with his patients. My 3 boys LOVE him. I appreciate his bedside manner, his knowledge and his humbleness. He is the first to look something up if he has questions. He is such a great pediatrician.

Dr. Barsella is the most thorough, and compassionate doctor! He listened with intent, takes everything seriously, and NEVER rushes! My daughter has an underlying medical condition and he makes sure to always add that into the factor. He called me on a Friday evening to discuss Ultrasound results so we wouldn't spend the weekend worrying. He truly cares about his patients and doesn't try to just explain off a symptom. We feel so safe in his care for our daughter, and very grateful to have him on our team. He goes above and beyond and we can't imagine having any other pediatrician for our children.

Dr. Barsella always treats me and my kids with respect. He acknowledges them and listens to their questions and takes time to develop a relationship with them. He is really detailed, researched, and honest. If he takes time to fully explain everything to me or will let me know he will research further and get back to me if he doesnâ€™t know all the answers.
