I'm very impressed with Dr. Barker and his confidence in the type of surgery he has and will be performing on me 9/17/18. Outstanding surgeon!

Dr. Barker was understanding and not pushy. Explained everything and let me make the choice as to when I want to do surgery.

I have some edema in the area of my hernia operation that Dr. Barker stated may or may not go away. I will need to return in about six weeks time if it does not and have it drained with a needle. Obviously I hope it disappears. But, I am not upset as I believe Dr. Barker is very competent and I am certain all will turn out right in the end. I do however hope that Medicare nor myself are billed before everything is "finished up" as one bill will simplify the billing process.

The only reason a "fair" was selected was I was not sure what questions to ask, and when I got home and spoke with my wife, she asked basics like, how long I was supposed to keep the bandage on, what a normal healing progression is etc.. to which I had not thought to ask and had not been told.
UofU Patient

Dr Barker explained thoroughly the procedure I need, answered my questions and was very understanding about my concerns of recovery time. I felt comfortable when I left regarding his experience and am less apprehensive.
