She's the best! I feel fortunate to be able to see her
Dr. Barmettler is an excellent listener and takes time to really hear what you're saying as a patient.
I had a fabulous experience with this provider. She really listened to my questions and explained things in a way I could understand.
Sara is just soft and easy to talk to .. she has a very quiet way of looking you right in the eye and really cares... She's always there when I need her.. [redacted] Best Hospital Around
Smart, organized, good communicator, focused. Very much appreciated these. Unsure she can/is allowed to provide specific personal guidance applying science to individual situation beyond generalities if/when issues arise. Not often but when it counts.
It was really good. She explained all the different types of medication that I can take and informed me about injections that you can get to lessen my allergies. I found it extremely helpful. Thank you.
She is very knowledgeable, listens, addresses questions patiently. She explained options.
Everything was explained to me. All of my questions were answered. Important and applicable information was shared with me. Doctor was very knowledgeable and took as much time as we needed.
Thank You
