Paul Barrus's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Barrus was knowledgeable and skillful. Much better quality doctor than many I have had in the past. This is an excellent doctor despite the welfare and charity medical office he works at.

The entire staff is phenomenal! Boone & Adam, as well as Practice Manager, Tony give you personal, attentive treatment, with great customer (patient) service skills! I was very upset when I found out Dr. Barrus is eventually going to phase out of this office; but, Lilly (PA) has the personable touch that Dr. Barrus always had with me! He must have trained her. You will not be disappointed! I also love the remodel you've done on the office! Into the 21st Century, finally!

In Jan. 2013, I wrote a glowing review of Dr. Paul Barrus. A month later he sent me a weird letter dismissing me as a patient. It was totally gibberish. Evidently his wife picks and chooses who he treats. I have NEVER been treated this way by a doctor and it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with him. Evidently he is semi-retired anyway but if you don't want to get your feelings crushed, stay away from this practice which sends letters that make no sense and refuse to tell you why you are no longer welcome. Strange, weird and scary.

I've been coming here for over a decade. Dr. Barrus and his Physican Assistant, Lilly are excellent, thoughtful providers who try to get to the root cause of an ailment instead of just covering the symptoms with medications. Never had a long wait to get in, and the office staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them.

Very attentive & thorough throughout my visit. Listened to my concerns / comments & provided a logical approach to help me achieve my health goals. No rush and made it obvious that I was a priority. The office staff was extremely friendly & efficient - they have a policy that every patient is to be greeted and in an exam room within 15 minutes at arrival. Great experience-they more than exceeded my expectations!

Normally I hate Physician offices, but North Texas Optimum Health is an absolute exception. They really listen and then work hard to do everything in their power to help patients. Lilly, Dr. Barrus' Physician Assistant, had a wonderful attitude and truly took the time to address my concerns, as if it were her only priority. I've been a patient for quite a while now, have always waited a reasonable amount of time to be seen and I have never felt as if I were being rushed out of the room, which is incredibly refreshing. All in all I've always left their office feeling better than I did when I came in and I would highly recommend his practice to anyone.

Most at ease and thorough doctor's visit ever! He solved 3 problems in ONE VISIT! Amazing the difference when your doctor really cares!!! New lease on life!!

Dr. Barrus sold his practice to a ruthless businessman. Dr. Barrus's patients are now seen by a rude female PA from out of this country. He is just there 1 week a month, mainly to review her records. The office is going down fast. I have found another family doctor who actually cares.

We've been to see Dr. Barrus many times & we are finding a new doctor. He is more interested in having us come in for multiple visits than solving health issues. When I asked him about it directly his response verbatim ," We need to make a living & the way we do that is by having you come in for a visit." He was gruff & seems to have obvious health issues of his own. His hands kept shaking & he couldn't operate the equipment in his office, saying his tech quit. The front office staff is nice but tells us the office drama. Waste of time every time.

Worst doctor I have ever been to. I'm sorry I ever wasted my time on this outdated doctor. All of his equipment is old and outdated. His office staff is beyond rude. They never have my insurance right. Today I drove 45 minutes in excruciating pain to get my back adjusted. I left my wallet at work and mind you I've never had to pay a copay. First they couldn't tell me that I owe money before I drove to the office. I get there and all of a sudden I owe $125 because they've been using the wrong insurance company. Then the doctor's weird daughter Aubrey tells me if I give the correct info I can see the dr and don't need to pay anything. I'm sitting there waiting to be seen for 45 minutes. Finally I ask and they tell me that I can't be seen because I still need to pay $35 copay. I just said I left my wallet. I have always paid my bills and been to this dr for two years. What happened to billing a patient? I'm so done with this terrible doctor.
