We are newish patients of his after our previous pediatrician left the practice. Dr. Barsella took the time to read through my daughter's health history and call me after an appointment to talk through some issues more in detail. I felt that he took the time to dig deep to find the correct care for her. I have full confidence in him and his care for both of my children.

I'm a family medicine physician and a mom of four kids who recently relocated from California and let me tell you -I am very picky about my kids pediatricians. I absolutely loved Dr.Barsella, from his professionalism, empathy, ability to form connections in the very first visit to an exemplary medical care from reviewing the kids medical records prior to the visit to detailed history and exam is greatly appreciated. Looking forward for him to be my kids pediatrician.
