Patient Comments
Typically, my provider is outstanding in communicating with me and I would normally rate our interactions a "5." This particular visit was an aberration and only slightly different possibly due to the number of students and residents being trained during the process. It is not concerning to me at all.

Dr. Barbano is a specialist. It would be odd for me to recommend him to others when no one I know is in need of his type of services. If I did know someone with my situation I would definitely recommend him.
