Melchor G. Barros's Online Review Report Card

When you have to suggest treatment and medication it’s time to look for another Dr

Great staff very helpful. Dr Barros is very professional and knowledgable

This practice is very out-dated. No email. Their technology is from the 90’s. The people don’t know anything. They told me I need to come back for follow up and I did with another doctor. The woman, Markita and doctors wife never know the full story of what you are trying to explain to them. I came back for my follow up and they didn’t “remember”. Now they see I have been back but still want me to come back for follow up. Makes no sense. I just want my records. They want my money. Not happening- they need to update their practice and customer service skills.

Dr. Barros has been my primary care physician for a couple of years. I have found him to be very thorough and listens to my questions and spends the necessary time to answer them and provide recommendations on how conditions can naturally be improved. If that does not improve the condition, he will request tests as needed and provide medication or refer as needed to a specialist. I needed a hip replacement and he tracked progress of my Ortho visits and my surgery. He showed up at the hospital to check on my condition (as part of is early morning daily patient visits to Flagler Hospital). I appreciated this. As a result of these morning hospital patient visits, he is sometimes a little bit late to his office appointments. His patients know this. For this reason, I typically do not set up my office appointments early at opening time. The nurses are very good and office staff very pleasant. As mentioned in other reviews, his wife also works there and assists with in-office testing and general office needs. The only complaint I have is that the office was a bit behind the times in electronic communication of prescriptions to pharmacies and there was some issue with responding to pharmacy requests for approval to renew expired prescriptions. I believe this has been improved, but I am in the habit of requesting scripts for prescriptions which I drop off at my pharmacy.

Dr. Barros has been providing medical care to me and my wife since 2004.  He is a good and caring doctor who takes the time to listen to our concerns and provide great medical advice.  My wife and I respect his knowledge and appreciate his patience and care.D. and G. Gatewood

Absolutely!! Dr. Barros is a wonderful person and doctor. He is dependable & listens. You can feel that he really cares about you.

Great Family Doctor, I have been going here for almost 20 years and Dr. Barros does an excellent job at making you feel like part of the family. I cannot recommend this health provider enough.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Barros for over 15 years and he has always been there for us in times of need. I had a stroke about 10 years ago and he saw to my every need. I have only the best reguards for this Dr., My wife and I moved out of the area and moved to Palm Coast but we still drive aprox. 25 miles to go and be seen by him. His staff of nurses and front desk staff are outstanding, especially Nancy S. who takes the best care of us before we see the Doctor. I would highly recommend this Doctor and his staff to anyone in the St. Augustine area.

Our family is in the the medical field so we expect no less when choosing the right doctor. Very thorough, good bedside manners and professional.Chang family

Me and my family have been with Dr. Barros for the past 15 years and he is a very great doctor for us to be able to stay this long.
