About John Barbara

I specialize in Pediatrics. I became a healthcare provider because my love for medicine and children made it a natural choice for me. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I make my patients feel comfortable, give them enough time, and listen to their concerns. My little something extra: I'm a licensed New Orleans tour guide. I enjoy talking about the different people, culture, music, and food in our city, especially with my patients.

    Dr. Barbara is the only doctor that is so thorough and always gets my child well. No matter what, I know when we leave there, my child will be on the mend and I don't have to worry that treatment wasn't provided, unlike I have to do with the other providers in this office.

    My daughter and I saw Dr. Barbara, I believe the oldest one senior. And he was absolutely perfect. He was very sweet, very kind- hearted, very patient. Exactly how to answer all the questions I was asking and how to also give me great guidance for future preference for the different scenarios that was going on with my daughter. He's taking a place for my daughter's action with [other Doctor's name] He's out the office. And this was a great, he was a great substitute. And I definitely trust him just as much.

    I felt rushed, not heard, and I asked him to check to see if my daughter had the flu, and he didn't. And later that day, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with the flu A. All her symptoms were the same. but the doctor did not give her a flu test. He didn't do anything but just prescribe medicine. He was in there all of two minutes. He washed his hands longer than he took the time to see my daughter. Thank you.
