    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!

    I have been going to an ob/gyn for 30 years and for the last several years have seen Dr Barnesfather. She has always made me feel comfortable. I heard her talking to her student doctor about interactions with nurses and how a doctor should treat nurses. As a nurse, I appreciated what she was telling the next generation of doctors and it was absolutely spot on. She is an amazing doctor and I appreciate all she does.

    Since Dr. Barnsfather recommends annual mammograms, she asked if I wanted her to write the order for it so it would be ready when I make the appointment for December. She seems very thorough and willingly answered my questions. She also included reasons why it is good to use certain medications when I asked her about them. She seemed to genuinely care about me as her patient. (This was my first appointment with Dr. Barnsfather.)

    This was my first time visiting Norton's and my first time with Dr. Barnsfather. I'm so glad I decided to trust Norton's with my first pregnancy. Dr. Barnsfather made me feel very informed, comfortable, and respected. She anticipated most of my questions and answered them before I even needed to ask, then gave me time to come up with any more questions I might have.
