After finding Dr. Barnes on my Aetna Dr. portal, I was excited to finally have a PCP of my very own because its been A WHILE. I needed a PCP to evaluate me and check my health for a medical clearance for a surgery I am scheduled for next week. Dr. Barnes was INCREDIBLY patient with me as I was very stressed in trying to get labs done multiple times (because I wanted to check them twice) and sending me in for an EKG. She took it upon herself to ensure my safety and also have me take a Chest X-Ray which I appreciated because it is an added measure of safety some surgeons require (mine didn't although I was happy to be extra safe). When my original EKG came back irregular, Dr. Barnes put me in touch with an incredible Cardiologist in the area (Dr. De Gregorio- I also, highly recommend him) and they managed to take me THE SAME DAY to ensure my medial clearance was returned in a timely manner to my Plastic Surgery Center. She was very thorough and ensured I was totally healthy and safe before going into this elective surgery. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I now know my heart is totally healthy and I am in "great" shape having gotten through level 4 on a stress test. I highly recommend Dr. Barnes. One thing I can say constructively is she needs to hire a new assistant (she never followed up with me- Dr. Barnes helped me with everything from coordinating appointments to faxing my lab orders and medical clearance!!! That is unheard of for a Doctor so I really applaud her for keeping her business running smoothly). Other than the assistant, I had a great experience! 5 Stars!
