Melanie C. Barron's Online Review Report Card

Husband has been seeing Dr. Barron for a few months now, and we haven’t been very impressed at all. When she is available she is a good doctor, however, she has disappeared for months at a time with zero contact in the middle of trying to figure out what was happening with my husband. She also is terrible at getting medications and referrals sent in. The soonest we have been able to get a prescription for a very necessary medication was 2 weeks. There are still no referrals to other specialists and it’s been months. It’s so frustrating. I do not recommend Dr. Barron if you want a reliable doctor.

I too have been a patient for many years. For the last few years she has been an independent physician which is challenging in its own rights. I'm afraid that she may not have been able to overcome the financial issues surrounding these pandemic times. Suggest we go find another Rheumatologists. Good luck.

I had 1 visit and 1st impressions were great. She was smart, answered all my questions, and she was polite. I had testing done and was scheduled to return in 3 weeks. COVID started and my appt. was canceled 3 days prior, but they said they would try and schedule a teledoc appt. so I could get my test results. I never heard back and I started calling them back end of May when everything started opening back up. I have called and left SIX messages with no response. I finally got my other doctor involved to at least try and get my test results and they also have had 0 luck. I now have to not only find a new rheumatologist, but have to redo all testing that my insurance and myself have already paid for. VERY UNPROFESSIONA! And the fact that my test results are no where to be found makes me extremely uncomfortable. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

I am her patient and I need her advice. No one returns phone calls. (Please note the date: We are in the middle of the pandemic. Still, someone should help a patient who is growing desperate for some direction.)

Waste of my time. Saw her and was told an MRI and blood work was needed. They scheduled my follow up appointment for 3 weeks in order to have all the results. I had to call the office nearly a dozen times to see when the MRI orders were sent . I am now STILL waiting for a call back from the office !!!! Run from this practice if you want quality care and have a dr that works with you on your care !!!!! ...

I had been to numerous specialists trying to find out what was causing the severe inflammation in my shoulders and wrists. Dr. Barron spent over an hour with me and accurately diagnosed the problem and treatment. She nailed it.

Wonderful caregiver!

Awesome physician with compassion and humility

I liked Dr Barron very much. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and very thorough with her examinations. She asked all the right questions, and knew how to possibly make your situation better.

Dr Barron is a very caring and knowledgeable Rheumatologist. I have seen most of the rheumatologists in town & she is the best by far! Her treatments are newer & more practical & she is so easy to talk to.
