Dr. Barlow is one of the best doctors Adventist has. She really listens and gives you alternative when you can't have immediate answers to your issue.

Although providers have to enter details into a computer these days. She did so effortlessly without being distracted from listening to me & picked up on details.

Only cares about what she wants. Doesn't want to hear anything I have to say unless it's in agreement with her and I am not upset.

I have to be honest with you. I've been with since I was about 16 years old. I'm very happy to not be with them anymore and I'm even more excited to be with you guys. I was very very pleased with my doctor.

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.

Wonderful first appointment. So glad to have the opportunity to become a patient to such a caring physician. So grateful she has joined our community

I have already recommended her to another co worker. Dr Nambela-Barlow was very concerned about my back story and concerned that I was overdue for labs and Ultra Sounds.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/12/2024
She takes time to get to know you personally. She shows compassion and empathy. I have been holding off switching to a provider up here and driving the hour and a half to see my primary but thankfully I won't have to do that anymore.

I was very impressed with my new doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/14/2024
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.
