    He is my doctor. I've had tremendous difficulty with this survey constantly asked questions the same ones. I hit next I hit the right arrow and sometimes if asked same thing answered not applicable thinking you already got my answer. Maybe it's my device maybe it's me maybe it's the survey Dr Barnes is amazingly consistent efficient and easy to talk to good with assessment as well.

    He is incredibly quick and efficient while still giving the patient as much time as they want/need, patiently listening and answering any questions a patient may have. He is also incredibly quick and efficient and responsive when responding to prescription refill requests, which is so greatly appreciated and reassuring. He is amazing.

    I have been seeing Dr Barnes as my Primary Care Physician for several decades. I trust his judgement. I have no issues with Dr Barnes. Dr Barnes is the reason that I use Optum. If Dr Barnes was not at Optum, I am not sure that I would use Optum.

    I have been a patient of Dr Edward Barnes for over 30 years. I have found him to be an excellent diagnostician. He is highly focused in his observations of my general aspect and presentation. He has had a high success rate in evaluating my symptoms and prescribing appropriate remedies to any problems I have faced. On occasion when symptoms have leaned toward a more complex diagnosis, he has referred me to specialists in his professional network. Dr Barne’s calm approach has supported my confidence in making choices that have maintained my good health.
