Dr. Barsella has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter. From the very first visit, he showed incredible patience, compassion, and professionalism. He took the time to listen to our concerns, explain everything clearly, and made sure my daughter felt comfortable and cared for at every step. It's rare to find someone who combines such a high level of medical expertise with genuine kindness. We're so grateful for the attention and support he has provided_he truly goes above and beyond. I can't recommend Dr. Barsella enough!

Dr. Barsella is an incredible doctor, always answers all of my questions and has never made me feel rushed in our appointments. He's approached all of my concerns in an evidence- based manner and has made the fourth trimester with my newborn much calmer in the way he's put my concerns at ease.

Adam was very personable and made sure to make my son feel comfortable by asking him questions about his interests. He made sure to thoroughly explain his reasoning and benefits for why my son should go on a medication, after learning other non-medicinal avenues have been explored first.

Dr. Barsella is truly one of the best doctors. He was able to get my son in to be seen and spent 30+ minutes talking with me about his bronchiolitis and making me feel comfortable taking him home and giving me a lot of ideas to make him feel better. He does great patient assessments and truly cares about his patients and their family. I recommend him to everyone.
