5.0 star star star star starDr.B is the best pediatrician I have ever had for my children . He made my kids laugh and feel very confident and safe at the Dr's also. He made back to school shots not so scary for them. I will recommend your practice to anyone !! The nurse helping that gave the shots she was also so great All around great visit.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Barsella is honestly my new favorite at the practice. He goes into great detail and I never feel rushed like I have with some of the other doctors in the practice. I’ve been taking both of my kids there since they were born, and will choose him as my new daughter’s doctor I am expecting.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bardella heard my concerns and is taking the time to develop a positive patient doctor relationship with my son. I really appreciate his patience and genuine interest in doing what is best for him; you’d think that is what most pediatricians would do but that hasn’t been my experience in the past.

5.0 star star star star starI walked in with my child crying not wanting to cooperate. Dr. Barsella was patient and built my child’s trust in order to do his exam. He gave her options when possible giving her a sense of control.

5.0 star star star star starHe's got a great bed side manner, connects with kids, gives you all the info you need, asks if you have any questions and takes his time. Also got a very timely call back with test results. When he left the roommate 4 yr old daughter said "I LOVE that doctor!" I will probably be changing her primary from Vogt (since she never seems to be available when I need an appt) to Dr. Barbsella. I like his bedside mannar better anyway.

5.0 star star star star starHe is always super knowledgeable, kind and able to answer all questions. He is up to date with evidence based practice, relies on the science and date. He never makes me feel ashamed or dumb for asking a question. He always seems eager to help. He always considers the parents perspective and comfort level when deciding on plan of care. Nothing is set in stone, plans are fluid

5.0 star star star star starDr. Barsella has been a great doctor for our baby; care and treatment plans have been top notch and his demeanor works well for us. He is flexible enough to guide us to our own decisions in what is best for our child, but his knowledgeable recommendations also put us at ease as first time parents.

5.0 star star star star starHe is great. We appreciate his approach with using medicine only when absolutely needed, and felt that he answered all of our questions. He seemed genuinely concerned about our child, and took the time during our child’s appointment to talk with him and make sure our son was comfortable around him. He contacted us back directly when we had a follow up question via MyChart, and was very informative as always.
