Dr Barras is an excellent physician, I had a number of questions about knee surgery, she patiently listened, answered the questions and reviewed my x-rays to support her comments. Her experience includes several years at the Mayo Clinic. She is someone I can trust with my health, I do not need a second opinion.

Meeting Dr Barras was a pleasure. I left an Orthopedic Dr that saw me as a number and actually forgot about my care. Never corrected the issue and did not care that I left. I was not an student athlete so not interested in me. Dr Barras explained my condition thoroughly and provided guidance that made sense to me. She did not see me as a surgery patient but as a human. Asked me about my person life and my holiday. Theres a human and kindness that I really appreciate. So glad I made the switch. I felt seen in her care.

My experience with Dr. Barras was extremely amazing. I went in there with some concerns. She addressed my concerns. She took the necessary precautions to make sure that, you know, I felt comfortable in the treatment and that I was informed of what was being done and the why. Also, the follow-up information that I received from her was awesome. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
