I saw Dr. Barnes recently and felt disrespected by him. I asked when we were supposed to discuss…read morethe birth plan and proceeded to tell him one thing that I preferred not occur during my birth experience. His response was dismissive and I felt as though he did not take my request seriously or understand where I was coming from.

Honestly, I feel like they do not want to accept patients with Medicare, and I will be reporting them.
