I've had nothing but bad experiences with Dr. Bartow since my PC, Dr Lee left Ascension. Dr Bartow is more concerned with booking unnecessary office visits than going above and beyond for his patients and helping where he could. Last week, my shingles flared up right before my vacation and when I messaged him for a refill for viral medication for a documented condition, he wanted me to come in for an office visit for which I didn't have time for. As a result, I had to go 5 days without treatment and was able to get a prescription from another physician with no office visit. This wasn't the first time something like that has happened. When I had my initial visit with him, I shared that I have severe insomnia and take Ambien. He refused to continue my prescription and said if I did a sleep study, he would prescribe it for me. After the conclusion of my sleep study, he refused to prescribe it for me leaving me to scramble to find other source for my much-needed medication. I'm 53 years old and have never had such a terrible experience with my caregiver. I've seen other similar complaints on other review forums. Now I'm in search of another PC physician. read more
