Waiting for the doctor ALWAYS takes too long. We talked about everything other than my concern!

After my visit I spoke to the doctor and nurse and they both told me they were expecting new patients. But when I called the next day to get my husband in to meet Dr. Barlow the receptionist told me that Dr. Barlow wasn't accepting any patients. I think there needs to be a better communication between the doctor and nurse with the receptionist about accepting new patients because it was a little bit frustrating. Your told one thing but than less than 24 hours you're told another thing.

Dr Barlow has been my primary physician for many years. I find him to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk with, thorough, and highly professional. I am always impressed with his medical knowledge, no matter what the issue. He seems genuinely interested in my health and has provided recommendations I consider to be invaluable. I highly recommend him.

This visit was an excellent appointment as usual with Dr. Barlow.

Wait times on the phone are excessive. Never answered immediately, always a long hold or voice mail prompt. Phone seems understaffed.

didn't listen to my CC. nice enough of a person, but i'd want my provider to LISTEN. TO. MY. CC. how hard is that?? not one second spent explaining the differential dx, not one second spent explaining why labs were ordered, and the possible tx modality and protocol based on those labs. bonus: i've had to EMAIL to get my labs uploaded so i can print them and consult other physicians for my issues.

Dr. Robert Pence Barlow has kept me running in pretty good shape in spite of his patient's intransigence over a large number of years.

I waited 1 1/2 hrs. to be seen be Dr. Barlow two days after a spinal compression fracture. The appointment was intended to address unmet issues until I could see my PCP. Dr. Barlow was not sensitive about my pain level and did not inquire about my experience with pain control following two recent knee replacements. he then took another half hour to arrive with prescriptions for pain control so inadequate that I have spent the last five days in complete agony. this really didn't work for me.

Dr Barlow is a kind and knowledgeable doctor. I am happy I can see him while my PCP is on medical leave.

I have always had a good experience with Dr. Barlow. He takes time to talk with you and to get an overall understanding of what you have been doing and how you are feeling. He has been very responsive to my questions posed on the My Health site and in updating my prescriptions.

I've been going to Dr. Barlow for many many years

I recently had a bad experience with my previous provider and a friend referred me to Dr. Barlow. It was immediately clear that Dr. Barlow is a concerned and pleasant dr.

Dr. Barlow is one of the best doctors and best humans that I know. He is a pleasure to see and is very knowledgeable and open to what I am telling him. I wish he would stay in practice forever!

I had to wait over an hour before seeing the doctor. I made the appointment in excess of a week earlier. It appeared he spent most of the time time trying to understand the computer. I believe he did some updating of my records. I did not feel that my questions and concerns were addressed completely.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Start me up. Prior to my appointment, I completed online the Wellness Exam Questionnaire. I also printed this out and brought to my appointment as directed. Turns out that the receptionist requested my printed questionnaire to which I commented that I had already completed the online questionnaire. The receptionist acknowledged this to which I replied that this seems unnecessary and wasteful, she grunted and took my questionnaire. If I complete a form online, I should not have to print it out and bring it to the appointment. I can't get no satisfaction.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
dr was late by an hour and as a result I couldn't get my labs done which was reason I came to the appointment. It was a waste of my time and I have to come back.

---

Has been my dr. for some 30 yrs. & I not like to change it.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Always enjoyable and informative to visit with Dr. Barlow. I appreciate that he takes as much time as required with each patient, even if that means he may not be able to meet with me on time, especially near the end of the day.

---

45 minute wait in waiting/exam rooms. All else is satisfactory.

staff went out of their way to help

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have been seeing Dr. Barlow for a number of years and he has always been very involved in my care but the move to this office has made it much more difficult to get direct and accurate responses to questions, lab orders and prescription refills.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Barlow was charming. He took lots of time with me and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Great guy.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
the positive experience is the clinic is run very well in terms of the reception, doctor's visit.The negative feedback would be that I cannot always get an appointment with my regular doctor and sometimes I have to wait for a longer time than I used to do in his previous office

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Barlow listened well and gave me the information I requested. When he left the exam room I understood that he would return with instructions and to answer my questions about a medication that he recommended. The person who came back with the prescription was very impersonal and robotic in answering my questions, which was concerning to me. She said that she would email Dr. Barlow with my questions and that someone would call me. I have not received a call.

---

Dr. Barlow was nice, but my appt was at 4:05 and I didn't get out of the office till 5:33. It was made known to me (by the receptionist) that Dr. Barlow is always behind schedule... which was a put-off to me.

If I knew the friend or family was able to see D. Barlow, no question I would recommend

---

Good,caring provider. However, missed the diagnosis on recent issue.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I would prefer to see the Physician in less than the hour it took from my appt.Room for improvement in that area.

Dr. Barlow is always very caring, attentive, courteous, professional. Perfect doctor!

I love Dr. Barlow. He spends time to understand your medical needs. This amount of time breaks todays norms for an office visit 10-15 mins which is great for the patient. I was supposed to be seen at [time removed] and was not seen until [time removed]. My only hesitation to recommend Dr. Barlow is the scheduling problem. Since I don't think you are going to change Dr Barlow, I would recommend appts every 30-45 mins. Then people won't be waiting for 1 hour longer than the scheduled time.

This was an annual general checkup and prescription renewal. Service was great but had a long wait time. I like my doctor.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
only real complaint is the wait time to see Dr after arrival

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Barlow is a good listener. He also always seems to be up-to-date with current tests and ideas to solve medical issues.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I've been a patient of Dr. Barlow's for over 20 years, and have never considered going elsewhere for medical attention. While the location is inconvenient with respect to my office and home, the quality of care definitely makes that inconvenience trivial. Dr. Barlow takes the time to explain things in common language for clarity's sake, and will take virtually as much time as I need to understand my health. He offers up options for gaining knowledge through resources such as WebMD, apps that might help, etc.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Provider told me that they would return shortly with a list of therapy exercises for me. I waited for more than 15-20 minutes in the exam room after this without a followup from a PA or other staff person. I started to wonder if I had misunderstood the provider's instructions to wait in the exam room. The other thing that is annoying is that I'm on an unusual dosage of a medication. The computer system does not allow the provider to enter a custom dosage, so instead, my records show that I'm taking Medicine (20mg) and Medicine (10mg). EVERY TIME I speak to someone on the phone or over the patient portal, I get questions about which one I'm actually taking. It would seem that there should be some kind of way to notate that in my records.

I have Providence health insurance, but I pay extra to see Dr. Barlow because I know that his main motivation is the health of his patients. He truly cares, and that is priceless. I have never met a finer doctor.

Dr Barlow has been my physician for many years. I've great respect for his advice and always enjoy my visits. He's a great human being!

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Actually, have already recommended Dr. Barlow to another patient in the past who visited him for a while. Dr. Barlow provides ample time with patients and actually builds a relationship with his patients. He knows me and my history and has been a trusted advisor now for about 10 years. His level of care is probably a thing of the past in most HMO settings, but his care is what sets him and his practice apart.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Doctor left after asking a few questions and never returned. The nurse came back in and handed me paperwork with instructions and said I was done. I am accustomed to the doctor coming back in and telling me what his recommendations are and closing out the visit

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have been seeing Dr. Barlow since I moved here 11 years ago. He listens, talks to you about how you are doing as a person, not just health problems. I am [age removed] years old, I have been lucky enough to have had some really outstanding family physicians, a couple famous ones. They all have one thing in common - they genuinely care about you and your family and express that in the way they treat you.

Dr Barlow is a great family doctor, but his wait times can be very long.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
it was frustrating that I didn't see the doctor until 40min later than scheduled apt time. However when he comes in he spends a lotof time and is not in a hurry and never makes me as the patient feel rushed which I appreciate.

---

Dr. Barlow always gives me his full attention and I enjoy talking with him. My health is relatively good, but I know he'd be on top of things if I needed anything.

---

For some reason I was waiting to see DR Barlow for over an 1 1/2 hours AFTER my initial exam by the tech at one time even the lights went off in the exam room. Also nobody let my wife in the waiting area know what is going on

---

Can not say enough good things about Dr. Barlow. Very much appreciate his knowledge and care for me. When Dr. Barlow was at his own practice prior to Legacy was far superior over Legacy Healthcare. "One call that's all" at his previous practice. Legacy too complicated trying to get information and prescription or general questions. So many button to push to try to get to the party you are calling.

Dr. Barlow gave me good advice regarding my sinus infection and prescription to take on the trip I was scheduled to take the next day. I did not need to use the antibiotics he prescribed but was glad that I had them if things got worse.

Although my appointment was at 9.20am., I saw the doctor at 10.10am. (50 minute delay). This was a repeat experience. I am not happy with the wait times every time I have to see my primary physician.

When I call for an appt., too difficult to see my PCC. Took over 3 wks. to get in for a couch and wheezing and I am 71 years old. For this matter I did not want to see a new dr.

Dr. Barlow is a fantastic doctor. I always feel like he listens to my concerns and he does a great job of addressing them with a solid treatment plan.
