Rodney J. Barker, MD, FACS

See my other critiques from earlier in the survey. Only good experience was the interaction with the nurse that called me back and took my vitals

Very pleasant and thorough, listened attentively, and explained all options clearly without being condescending.

Dr. Barker serves his patients at the U of U Farmington with care and professionalism. I will highly recommend him as a skilled surgeon.

Dr Barker has many years of experience with surgical procedures which means you can be confident that you will have someone who really knows what they are doing. He listened to my concerns and allowed me to ask any and all questions that I had. I felt like I was in good hands.

Me explicó muy bien las opciones para tratar mis problemas de salud y los pasos a seguir, además se ve muy profesional y comprometido con su paciente.

Appointment was ahead of schedule and very quick. Doctor was very kind.

Very professional and direct

Dr. Barker was amazing in helping me with my anxiety which was very high for this procedure. He was very sweet the second he walked in the room. His voice was very calming. He talked to me through the whole procedure telling me everything he was doing and that helped me immensely! He did an excellent job! He was very pleasant and patient!! Thank you Dr. Barker! You are amazing!

Dr. Barker was so generous and kind. I was seeing a different Dr. For some intense pain. When they realized they couldn't help me, they reached out to Dr. Barker's office. Dr. Barker was on his lunch break and told them he could fit me in. With a small procedure, I was pain free. It was so kind of Dr. Barker to give up his lunch break to take care of me.

A simply kind and professional doctor. Listens and responds with a calm and confident approach.

Personable and caring

A great guy

A. Comfortable experience.

Dr. Barker helped me understand the risks and benefits of the surgical procedure. He accommodated my desire to have the surgery as soon as possible.

Dr. Barker has a very good "bed-side" manner. His personality, while staying professional, aided in putting my mind completely at ease. His expertise as a physician was evident as he listened intently, & then he completely & clearly answered questions regarding my upcoming surgeries. After his initial exam, he wanted me to have a contrast CT scan to verify his diagnosis. Upon returning to his office after the CT, he looked at the scan results & gave his recommendations. Then, after discussing options, he let me determine how I was going to proceed. During his post-op evaluation, he gave me a clean bill of health and said I was healing very well. Everything he has done inspires confidence and has made me feel I could trust his recommendations & abilities. There is nothing about him that I would change!

Meh

I am glad he can help me out and get me in and taken care of and out the same day. He is explaining things step by step as we went through my appointment I am glad he can help me get the help I need.

Excellent

Courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

Dr. Barker was very thorough and explained all of my options very well.

He examined me and let me know exactly what my problem was. He told me that it would only take time to heal but gave me a lot of information to help me at home. He was very kind.

Great

Very personable, straightforward, not condescending and, not least of all, an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Barker is very courteous and has a sense of humor which is absolutely necessary in his line of business :-)

He was terrific.

Dr Barker has been helping me for months now, Im grateful that he is paying attention to my needs. Very respectful and thankful for his professionalism.

Dr,Baker.yes he is explain to me things the way I understand very well and with courtesy and respect very well.

Dr. Barker is the best. I would recommend him to anyone! He has a personality that I like in a professional. He is easy to talk to and gives it to you straight!

Dr. Parker conveyed information clearly and with the fluency of a seasoned veteran.

Dr. Barker is exceptional. He had previously implanted a port for my cancer treatments. I was very happy with the result and felt he was a very caring and professional surgeon. I recently needed a general surgeon again, so Dr. Barker was my first choice. I was experiencing pain, so the office got me right in. Dr. Barker was very caring, compassionate and professional as he listened to my concerns. He spent considerable time with me and gave me great counsel. He didn't make me feel rushed and answered all my questions. I had questions answered that other doctors couldn't give me answers to. I left his office feeling very relieved and grateful to this wonderful caring man. I would highly recommend Dr. Barker as my experiences with him have been very positive!

Knowledgeable and experienced surgeon. Took time to explain how he would perform the procedure and discussed the risk of possible complications.

Very courteous and respectful!

He was great. Took the time to address my concerns. Didn't rush me. Was kind .

Great listening

Rodney was clear and concise about what the process was for remedying a hernia.

Dr Barker took the time to explain everything and to listen to any questions I had..I didn't feel rushed at all. An excellent Dr.

Dr. Barker is an empathetic highly skilled surgeon. I recommend him to anyone seeking a general surgeon for any of his specialties. In my particular case I had an inguinal hernia repair on the left side, about 4 years previously Dr. Barker repaired an inguinal hernia on my right side. Both operations were successful. He is a first rate surgeon.

Dr Barker is very condescending and seems to take pleasure in making you feel stupid.
