Everyone from the front desk, the nurse, and especially Dr. Barrett. I greatly appreciated the doctor's understanding of my profound hearing loss and patience when I still had an issue hearing. Most people get huffy if they must repeat what has been said. When I asked that my husband be in the room prior to my exam, as he always accompanies me to ensure that I get all of the information regarding my appointments. I do wear the best hearing aids available for my hearing loss (from chemo and proton radiation). For this visit, as I knew I would be in a prone position w/o him there for the exam, Dr. Barrett graciously wore a mic that we brought. When one is wearing it, the words go directly into my hearing aids, which ensures that I hear almost all of what is being said. I felt she was respective, and certainly very kind and reassuring to me - as another gyn said "there is something there."

I love Dr. Barrett, and the office staff I interacted with were very pleasant.
She understands my health needs and answers my questions.
Dr. Barrett put me at ease while being very open about discussing questions I had about aging and sexual intimacy.
Overall, always great experience but visit was on a Wednesday and didn't get my prescriptions until Friday. I don't understand why it took this long.
