"I have always had a great experience at Atlanta Breast Care. All of the receptionists are very kind and professional. And I can't say enough about the excellent care and service given by Dr. William Barber for the past twelve years. He's a very caring and concerned doctor who spends quality time with me during each visit. He's very patient, thorough, proficient, knowledgeable, and professional. I've never felt rushed when I've asked questions, and he takes the time to answer all of my questions and to make sure I understand, and I'm satisfied with each answer. He has always made himself available and/or returned my calls in a very timely manner. Beginning with my initial visit with him until presently, he has mad eme feel as if I'm a part of his family. I've never felt the need to question or feel uneasy about the care and advise he's given me or the decisions he's made regarding what's best for me. He's well known and respected by some of my other doctors and surgeons, including several who work at other hospitals and doctors' offices. As I said, I can't say enough great and true things about Dr. Barber's knowledge, love for his patients, excellent care, and skills. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to refer others to him."
