What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I am a new patient to Dr. Berry with an existing condition. He picked up where my previous doctor left off by listening and asking questions about my history. This is what I needed. My previous doctor retired and I needed someone to support my long term goals not start from scratch. I recommend Dr. Berry, he listens and works with you.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I've only seen Dr Barry twice. He's a very nice doctor, the place is very clean. My appointment was 1:40, they asked me to be there earlier at 1:25, I got there about 1:15. I had to wait 45 minutes before he got to me! I had to go out and ask the nurse how much longer it was going to be. She said she thought he was with his last patient so it should be soon, it wasn't! After he talked with me he said the nurse would be right in, she wasn't!!! All she had to do was bring me the check out sheet. I waited another 20 minutes for her! Very upsetting. I still will go back to see him.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
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.
