I've only seen Dr Barry twice, once a year or two ago and now the [DATE]. My only complaint is that it took a couple of weeks to get in to see him, I was in severe pain. I had an appointment for the first part of [MONTH] when they called and cancelled, he was going on vacation so I couldn't see him until [DATE]. Him and his nurses were very nice. He made a plan for me to get therapy. I'm satisfied with what he told me and will be going back there in a few weeks.
