Erica Barringer's Online Review Report Card

I’ve been seeing Dr. Barringer for a number of years and she is very thorough and checks all the boxes when it comes to my over all health issues! In a scale of 1-10 I give her a 10+

Barringer was my primary care provider for a few years however her questionable practices lead me to seek services from an outside provider. Never really listens to you and has a judgmental attitude

HIMG’s doctors openly discriminate against people with disabilities. I called to find a general practitioner for my daughter who has aged out of her pediatrician. My daughter has cerebral palsy and other related issues. Dr. Barringer refused to take her as a new patient because “they have nothing to offer her.” I guess healthcare coordination and treating for everyday illnesses is are much for a family care practice? Unbelievable. Blatant discrimination. Dr. Barringer did, however, offer to take my other child as a patient - the one who has no health problems. I guess they do have something to offer, if you have no needs! There are no words for this kind of shocking discrimination against the disabled! My next call will be to file a complaint with the WV Board of Medicine.

Dr Erica Barringer is rude, never listens to you and never has time to discuss your problems, you will be in and out in 5min. She does not follow up with you on any testing. The last straw for me was trying to get a refill of medicine I had been on for 7 years for hypertension, her nurse insisted I was not on the medicine , finally had to call Dr Barringer at home and she was extremely rude, with no explanation of why her nurse would not help and I was completely out of medicine. I never went back !!!

Someone else hit it on the nose- she’s a computer person, very little eye contact, seems to have a problem explaining things such as why HIMG isn’t giving a certain pneumonia vaccination when asked. She seems to manage getting lab work but her office really messed me up with my home-delivery meds by not refilling the prescription 3 times requiring me several phone calls to meds provider, several visits to clinic, me having to pay out of pocket twice for my expensive heart med that aren’t supposed to be suddenly stopped and finally on the last trip into clinic to try to straighten things out, informed me that I had to have an appt for them to re-prescribe the med and then saying they’d left me phone messages when I never received them. To top this off, at that last clinic visit I asked to change to see her nurse practitioner (who i’d seen several times before) and was refused. I made an appt to see Barringer to get things back on track and to ask her if I could in the future just see her practitioner. A few days later I receive a certified letter stating I could no longer be seen in any of the HIMG family clinics because of inappropriate behavior! I never even raised my voice!!! and I never even saw Barringer but only the office staff. The letter said they would cover me for the next 30 days and my appt fell before the 30 days were up so I figured, again, I’d ask her face to face what the problem was- me asking to see her practitioner or me trying to get my required meds. A couple days prior to my appt I called the clinic to verify the time and was told they’d cancelled my appt r/t the certified letter. They never bothered to let me know they’d cancelled my appt. I asked the receptionist I talked to to give a message to a man (who she said authorized the letter)- evidently he was manager over the clinics- that i’d like to have an appt with him to discuss the letter etc. & she promised she’d have him call me. He never did. I worked in the health field for 40 years and am shocked by the way I’ve been treated. Not only is this very unprofessional , it borders on abuse in my opinion.

Always in a hurry. You're lucky if you get five minutes of her time.

I've been seeing Dr. Barringer for years...she's very attentive and helps with referrals she's pleasant to talk to and understanding ....

Always in a hurry. Doesn't seem to care about her patients.

No eye contact. She refused to do a test, no help at all. Lacks a caring attitude.

Definitely would not recommend Dr. Barringer for a physician. Very cold, kurt, and almost hostile. Very poor bed side manner. She and her staff are fast food care. Been to Dr. Barringer twice and wasn't in the exam room a full five minutes each visit. It seems its all about collecting your payment not the care - get you in and out as quickly as possible without serving the patient. I work in the health care field with patients daily & have never seen such poor treatment. Will not return
