Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son had been having these stomach pains for weeks, and we were really scared. Dr. Barbaros was the first one who actually sat down with him, not just us, and explained everything in a way a kid could understand. He didn't rush us at all, even though the clinic was busy. He figured out it was a simple food intolerance, not the scary things we'd imagined. Seeing my son relax and finally smile in a doctor's office meant everything.
I've been seeing Dr. Barbaros for about seven years now, since my diabetes diagnosis. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, I don't have to re-explain my whole life every visit. His approach is steady; he doesn't jump on every new trend, but he also keeps up with what's genuinely useful. When my numbers are off, we adjust. When they're good, he says so. It's just consistent, reliable care. That's hard to find.
Had a weird rash that wouldn't go away. Went to Dr. Barbaros. He knew what it was straight away, gave me a script, and it cleared up in a few days. No fuss, got the job done.
My first appointment at Emsey, I'll be honest, I was a bit overwhelmed. Big hospital, parking was a nightmare. But from the moment I walked into Dr. Barbaros's office, it was different. He has this calm way about him. He listened to my whole saga, the fatigue, the random aches, and instead of just ordering a million tests, he asked really specific questions about my work stress and sleep. He connected dots I didn't even see. The treatment plan was simple, almost boring, but it worked. He didn't just treat a symptom; he sort of figured out the pattern.
