I am a veteran that typically uses the VA for my care but for convenience I always have a civilian doctor as well. My first visit with Dr. Barry was weird and not helpful. She pawned everything I needed help with on another doctor. After leaving my appointment I felt no closer to a path of health than before I went in. Anyone that knows the VA knows that they are difficult to make contact with or get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. I called Dr. Barry's office to ask for a prescription, only for 30 days, because I am going out of town in less than a week and have been unable to make contact with the VA and she denied me help. It is not a narcotic or any pain medication, it is for stomach discomfort. I was already not happy with my visit so this lack of help from her has made me never want to go back. She was very standoffish and not that I cared to be touched by strangers her "examination" was very minimal. read more
