Most doctors are very nice. My husband had surgery on his hand with Dr. Barrett and he was so nice to my husband and to me. So when my shoulder started hurting, I went to see Dr. Barrett. He has the best bedside manners I've ever seen in a doctor. He is very concerned about you as a patient not all doctors are like that. I would pay to go see him. Oh wait I do pay to go see him lol
