Dr. Barnsfather and her team were truly the best!! I could tell that the assistant Ashley and Dr. Barnsfather not only cared for me as a patient but also as an individual. Ashley was so kind and fun to talk to when asking medical background questions. Dr. Barnsfather literally sat down and talked to me, drew things out, and even cared enough to talk about the importance of me wearing my seatbelt and self love! My goodness she is the absolute kindest person!
