“The office visit in its entirety was 5* - I found that both the NP Ashley, and Dr. Barnard were patient, engaging, attentive and thorough. I'm now at an age where I can't help but wonder if the medical profession might not care about my issues and/or physical complaints as much as they may have several years back when I was younger. Although I don't feel or look my age, it is obviously known from my records. Sadly, it's been a common conversation and realization amongst my peers . . . that docs, nurses, general medical profession are not quite as interested in my well-being. Unfortunate, but . . . . it's how so many of us feel and see it. With this being said, I did not get this feeling in my visit with Dr. Barnard and NP Ashley. My Primary Care Doctor, Risa Shulman, (who is an amazing doc) referred my to Sports Medicine North. Debra D. ”
