    He really listens. He's aggressive pursuing answers. He doesn't push AI note-taking (a potential privacy disaster) if the patient doesn't want it.

    Dr Barner is easy to interact with, respectful and is a good listener. He was thorough in the review of my records and my concerns. He was also very prompt in answering follow-up questions through the portal regarding my questions about test results and meds. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    He's very good. The other staff is extremely lacking. Blood technician was very rude and eager to get me out of the door without providing the service that I came for! Front desk (Jill) wouldn't listen to my requests when I wanted to schedule. Dr. Varner is the only reason I come back. I'm currently looking for another provider.

    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
