Great initial visit. Practically no waiting at all.
Dr. Barlis is my personal hero! After 14 years of countless doctors, tests, procedures, and no answers...I meet with Dr. Barlis ONCE and she understood what was going on and did one simple blood test and I had the answer I was searching for. Within 6 months of treatment, I felt better than I have in years. She actually listens and converses with you and explains her thoughts and what she believes should be done next. I can't thank her and her staff enough, for restoring my trust in medical professionals.

Verified patient
Dr. Barlis is a wonderful and caring doctor who is extremely thorough and detailed. She has a warm bedside manner and takes her time with every visit. The only downside I experienced with this office is with scheduling appointments. I have been offered very little flexibility and when I call at 7am and try to get in that day for an illness, I rarely hear back and I need to call multiple times.
Cara Barlis is not only highly competent, she is kind, caring and proactive. This woman is the first doctor that I really felt I could tell anything to without judgement. She is awesome!
