"I have not met him yet, my dealings have with his office over the phone. I will meet him in September. 9/23/99 Well, I got to meet the Dr. and his staff. They were very helpful and informative. They made all the appointments I need to go to for the testing they do BEFORE they put my case in front of the steering commitee. I am not at all unhappy with the people I met. As a matter or fact, I spent some time talking with people in his waiting room and was VERY encouraged. As you know by now, I have met the Dr more than once, and each time I am impressed by how much he remembers about everyone he sees in the office or waiting room. He often comes out into the waiting room to have the patient come in, and always greets the others in the room by name. Even my regular Dr (Who I adore) does not do that. I did run into two ladies who had less than wonderful stories to tell, one had surgery done in Oct and this was the firs time she had been out of the Hospital (in January!) the other lady told of trouble with a bile duct that was overlooked and continued to drain requiring another operation. But all in all I am still looking at the bright side. His staff is wonderful and seem to be commited to making everything run smooth. He took the time to lead our support group the other night...as Hubby said, in his field of work time is money, but he took the time to be at that meeting and he called his patients by name. I have had the same OBGYN for years, and I'll bet he could not tell you my name without having my chart in his hand. Dr Barba ia very open about the risks and the people he worked on in the past that have not had the best results possible, some of which were sad stories. He's great, and he does not try to come off as unreachable higher power. He even talked to us about the money aspect of his choosen profession when asked about it. I think he's pretty cool."
