Dr. Lisa Barr has changed my life. Within six months I went from having excruciating pain being inactive/bed bound (for years) to competitively swimming with a very little pain. Im 41 and sought Dr. Barrs care after I exhausted numerous medical professionals in the gynecology, orthopedic, and neurosurgery fields. I was even considering a spinal fusion. I had severe acute pelvic pain from instability, low back pain, a long- term embedded urinary track infection, and pudendal neuralgia.

Because of her wholistic approach to medicine, she actually discovers what is wrong with you. I'm delighted to find a functional medicine doctor who is an actual MD. So many of them are medicine adjacent (chiropractors, naturopaths). With Dr Barr being an actual medical doctor I feel far more confident in

Both the PA (Kierstian) and the Doc (Dr. Barr) provided a very thorough explanation of surgical and regenerative medicine options to deal with my messed up elbow. They were very patient with all of my questions. And perhaps best of all, all of my appointments have been on time (i was not kept waiting at all).
