    This physician is absolutely amazing one of the only ones in this industry and or in this company that sits with you listens to you discusses things with you and truly makes you feel like you and your opinions and or comments are valid would recommend this physician to anyone he is amazing considering you can’t ever actually get in with a doctor. It’s amazing that I am able to have him and see him. His care and compassion for me has been outstanding.

    Dr. Barner comes to the exam room prepared. He is patient, listens, and provides additional detail about each issue when asked. He provides a good synopsis of overall health and provides a clear path forward.

    I like my interaction with him, he is good on referral or prescriptions, however the pharmacist of referral has had additional questions of the Dr. before they would schedule my appointment or fill my prescription. Response time to this inquiries seems very poor. Currently waiting on Dr (8 days now) to respond to CPAP referral

    This was my first visit with Dr. Nigel Barner . The first time I met him was when my husband had an appointment for memory and I was so impressed by the care and attention he received from Dr. Barner . So , I switched doctors . Dr. Nigel addressed the issue I came in with and then listened to me about my mental health struggles . I have tried for at least 5 years to see someone that is covered by my insurance and nothing ever happened - I was always told that it took over 6 months and I never got a call . Dr. Barner took me seriously and I was contacted by Life Stance in 2 days ! A miracle ! I have an appointment this month . He takes the time and you know he cares . I highly recommend him for anyone and any recognition you can give him is well deserved . He makes a difference in patients lives .

    He is great and I like him. But it seems that you chase them away as the last couple I had did not stay very long.

    He is unable to speak to the patient in Laymans terms. We truly is unable to slow down and look at the patient and see if they are comprehending what he is saying. All three visits I have attended with my father where Dr. Nigel is the physician, have been like this. He’s a very wonderful person and I know he’s compassionate, but he is got to learn how to speak to an adapt to the geriatric generation and probably the other generations as well. He’s hard to understand he talks jargon he ramble on and on.
