    Dr. BARLOW is excellent. She knows her business. She got right to the heart of the matter which I have high blood pressure but it's all anxiety induced. I constantly worry about everything. She should know that and hopefully we can figure out a way for me to not worry so much. The stress is literally slowly killing me. No joke. She's a great Doc. I'm so happy for her baby coming. God Bless her and her baby.

    It was so refreshing to meet with a doctor that took the time to get to know me. She listened to my concern and set a plan to run some tests to determine the cause. I haven't had the confidence and connection with a doctor like this is some time. Feel confident in the care we will receive from her.
