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.
