Carl R. Barr's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Barr has been caring for our grandson since 2019. K is autistic, has Tourette’s, and is epileptic. Having a medical background, I am very picky about medical care and truly believe Dr. Barr is a angel. Visits are always good and our questions answered, including visits to the hospital. It is a busy practice because all the doctors are good! Using Orlando Health my chart helps with contacting the doctor and getting messages thru to office staff.

I would leave negative stars if I could. Barr was insensitive and cold while delivering life altering news about our 3 day old. He spoke to us like we were in a medical class rather than explaining what was going on in terms we could understand. After he was done with his medical speech to us I was left not having any idea what he actually told us or what it all meant. Thank goodness there was a rotation of drs in the hospital the next day.

I love Dr. Barr. My son was hit by a truck in 2007. My son was at Arnold Palmer and that's where I met Dr. Barr. My son and him communicate well. That's important to me as a mom. I need my son to feel safe with a Dr. Dr Barr is awesome for us!!

Dr. Barr is a fine Dr. he just don't understand he needs to clean house and hire new office staff. They are the worst.

I was referred to see Dr. Barr by my sons pediatrician. This office refused to make an appointment for an evaluation for my son. They even refused to speak with our pediatrician to ask why he needs an evaluation. Our son needs help! I should've read the reviews. They don't seem to take your children's health seriously. That says a lot about this practice. Don't waste your time with this office. I'll be looking for a professional practice that addresses our concerns and respects my child's health and needs.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Have been trying for 4 days to schedule an appointment for my daughter just to have an out of state script for testing transferred over. Office won’t do it unless you see the doctor. She was just seen by a “top” hospital last week. Have been getting the runaround with promises of a call back and no call back. The hold times at the office are over 40 minutes. Office supervisor is of NO help....just cold and callous. If you’re looking for an office that cares about your child please look elsewhere.

Dr. Barr receives five gold stars for me. He has taken care of my son since our move here I'm 2004. He is a caring and compassionate doctor and truly takes his time with you during each appointment. But I definitely agree that it is difficult to get a message to him through his staff, even more so since his move to Orlando Health. You call and listen to the prompts and then you select a number and many times it doesn't recognize your selection and returns back to the beginning of the prompt. Frustrating! You leave a message on the voice-mail or with a person and pray that it actually reaches him. I pray that the change is a great one for him because he is a wonderful doctor. I'm just very skeptical about all the changes in staff.

my wife called this morning to complain my son's visit was being rescheduled due to non payment of past telehealth visit; turns out Aetna, our commercial insurer is providing us with no cost telehealth visits and despite our communication in the past to the doctor's office, the office is still attempting to charge a fee. My wife argued there's no telehealth fees per Aetna and phone attendant hung up on my wife. We don't plan to return to this office.

Saw Dr Barr when my daughter was in the NICU, he was amazing! Explained everything to where I would understand exactly what is going on. Had to do follow ups with his office & thats completely different! When I first made the appointment they called me the day before the appointment saying they needed something which would have taken me a few days to get so had to reschedule the first appointment because they waited last minute to call me.. it has been so hard to get ahold of somebody in the office & they all blame it on “covid” which is definitely not a valid excuse. Last time I needed to make an appointment it took them over 2 weeks of me leaving voicemails every day to get a call back.. & now my daughter needs and MRI it is taking them even longer to call me back! You leave voicemails and get no calls in return! If you want to talk to a voicemail everytime you try make an appointment or need something this is a perfect office for you.. If it wasn’t for Dr Barr I would definitely be going elsewhere .

My youngest has seen Dr. Barr for years. He is wonderful, warm, caring, and great with kids. His staff is so friendly and helpful. We love them💖❤️🙌
