Please Dr Barron don't change.You and your staff is the best.
Dr Barron is thorough in his explanation of medication changes and their benefits and side effects.
Competence.
I am hard of hearing and Dr Barron had a mask on and he talks really fast but I had my wife with me and she understood everything he said.
The best Dr and staff I've had in over 30 years
Great service
Dr. Barron cares about his patients and will go above and beyond to make sure that you receive the correct treatment.
My provider always have time for me, & listens to what I have to say, & wants to know if I want to ask him anything.
Gracias
Don't change anything
He is always kind and considerate of me.
Great.
Outstanding
Dr. Barron is an A++++ provider.
Doctors should LISTEN to their patients and not be in a hurry to move on to what he wants to do. ANY QUESTION is important to the patient and should be addressed PLEASANTLY and not act like it is a bother and doesn't matter. Dr. Barron is uptight and hasn't even smiled once during the visit. I will be looking to change doctors.
Great Doctor and Staff second to none.
Good bedside manner and great staff.
When I was there the catch was clear but
This Doctor get a thumbs 👍 up
Good doctor
Just be a little more personal
I am very pleased in the care that they provide for me.
Not now
Dr. Barron and his nurse were very patient and answered our questions.
Well done Dr Barron and every physician should strive to give the same patient care as what you give to so many.
I would like to change doctors I'm going to talk to my insurance company about it and see if I can
Would Recommend to anyone.
Pleasant atmosphere in the office.
Great service
I appreciate the time Dr Barron spends explaining things.
Needs to gauge patients better. Talked quickly about medications and was not very patient when I didn’t understand what he said and got them mixed up.
My provider is always nice & courteous. He always listens to me & answers any questions I may have.
Very happy to have this doctor as my primary care giver

Good
I really liked the thoroughness he gave during all aspects of the checkup
He explained things coming from other doctors. Left feeling empowered
The doc ordered a lot of blood work and a referral due to my condition. He also changed/added to my prescriptions.
Being a senior citizen I feel like I’m very well cared about and they are good wit my needs.
Not now
Very good Doctor and I trust him completely
Dr Barron is naturally engaging.
Good
Very happy with the service and help.

Personality’s don’t always mesh and I get that. So I’m willing to stick with him for my follow up in Dec.
Gets back to me quickly after lab work
He's a great Dr just needs a little work on bedside manner He's great
I am glad to have Dr Barron as my primary care physician. He is very prompt on feedback for test results and referrals needed.
Great Dr and staff

Excellent doctor. I wish more of the doctor here were as friendly and non judgemental.
Very pleased
I would Recommend Christus Goodsheperd hospital to anyone.
Seems rushed to get through.
Dr Barron tries to make sure the patients get the care that they need .
So good
When I commented on Dr. Barron looking fit he replied I really don’t like discussing my weight. He could have just said thank you so I wouldn’t have felt bad for commenting. It was kind of strange.
None

I would Recommend Doctor Barron and Staff to anyone.
This is a secondary doctor for me. I use the VA but like to have an established local doctor incase Im hospitalized and need to follow up.
Dr. Barron is an excellent Dr!
Dr. Barron and his nurse are always so kind and attentive. I’m grateful for all that they do. I am always replied to when I use the Chart App. I’ll always be thankful for him and his staff for being so concerned and caring.
Again I feel like a number and not a patient to him.
Over all I am very pleased with the care and service.
Thanks for your care as my Doctor
He is very good
Good experience
Keep him
Exceptional care from Dr.Barron always keeps me informed of all labs.
Seems he doesn't have time for me
N/A
Dry satisfied
Looking for another physician
Visited was very good and instancing.
he is a+
Feed back for provider…. Treat others like you want to be treated
Good listener.
For my first time ever visit I would suggest a scheduling of more than the thirty minutes they told me was all they had scheduled for a first time visit??? It would be hard to get to know a new patient in just 30 minutes!!!
Dr. Baron takes time to listen and answer any questions. He makes you feel like you are important and really cares about your wellbeing.
I appreciate the Doctor calling me with concerns about the results of my blood work
My chart is a very good tool to review blood work and Dr Barron was quick to review
He has always followed through very throughly with my care
I would highly recommend Dr. Barron.
I have recommended him to several people am very pleased with his quality of care.
Something felt different in the atmosphere. It was different from the last time I visited.
I like Dr Barron but at times he will not let the patient finish explaining the issues.
?
I wouldn't change Dr.Barron nor his staff for anything or anyone in the world!!
I’m so thankful for him. He means the world to my health and me.
Always clear with explanation
Prompt care without excessive waiting like too many Doctors.
When I was a kid the Doctor's actually checked every where that should be checked with out being told. Now unless you say something or ask they just check temp and vitals
I love my doctor & his amazing staff.
None

Will definitely use him as my Doctor from now on

Dr Barron is a very good doctor
Keep on doing what you are doing.
I am extremely happy with my experience.
thank you
I wish him the best of luck with his career. God bless
Thank you
When I told him about a problem I was having he became angry & informed me that he couldn’t address it in 15 min. I wasn’t aware my visit had a time limit. He was so angry he was huffing & puffing as he typed-so much so that his glasses fogged up. He was shaking his head as he typed. I was waiting for his head to spin around
Great Doctor and great staff
Thank You
Great Doctor
Surveys are annoying.
I'm fine with my 15 minutes
Dr Barron is extremely knowledgeable and helpful
Worst service I have ever had!!!
I’ll always go to Dr. Barron for all of my medical needs. He’s the best in my book!
More time could have been spent on the 3a chronic kidney disease
Cant say nothing bad. We need a few more Doctors like Doctor Barron.
Seems really in a rush
Great care
Very through and keeps up with my lab work
The way a doctor appointment should be.
I refer friends to you.
He’s amazing and he always answers my questions and talks about any concerns that I have and makes me feel comfortable.
I
Caring and willing to explain to me my issues in a way I can understand
Dr Barron sits and listens to what ever I have to say and seems to care and answers any concerns I might have.
Keep doing what your doing you're great.
Thank you.
Appreciate the monitoring of all my meds and blood work.
I appreciate his concern for me as a patient.
She is fantastic. And love that I can always get a response to all my questions through the portal. Kristen always gets back to me right away.
I wish Christus would allow providers to spend more time with their patients.
Thank you
Dr. Barron and his staff have always been so nice and helpful. No matter the situation I always know he will take care of me!
The providers care was good but the records that appear in MyChart need to be updated within a day or two of the visit. Incomplete data that are months old and need to be updated can lead to mistakes.
I appreciate the quick response I get to my telephone calls & prescription questions too.
