  • Dr Barrera is unbelievably caring , knowledgeable & generous with his time during my routine visits. Always responsive with any portal questions. So appreciate having a physician manage my health concerns the way he does. He is simply the best!
    Very grateful to Dr Barrera and team for their making my issues a priority. Everyone was amazing and remain an enthusiastic patient.
    Dr. Barrera is the number one best doctor I have ever seen . He not only cares for my thyroid but after my hip fracture began to test and treat me for osteoporosis. He was the first doctor I saw at Providence over 15 yrs ago and is the best communicator and helpfully involved doctor I have seen in my lifetime.
    My entire team of doctors and staff are wonderful. Thanks for your personal touch for my health care needs.
    Dr Barrera is outstanding. I'm fortunate he is on my care team
