[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old thread, but she's still practicing, so maybe someone else will find this useful--we love Dr. Barnes.  She was super supportive when my baby lost too much weight after birth.  She doesn't talk a lot about development, but if you watch, you can see that she is watching your baby closely.  I remember an early well-baby visit, and her first question was, "So, brag about your baby," and it was a way to get us to tell her about all the milstone stuff.  She asked a few follow-up questions.

I remember another visit when she stepped out into the waiting area for a minute and heard my daughter babbling away.  She smiled and said, "Oh, I love to hear that," and I could tell she was filing away that information about my kid's development.  She notices things about my daughter before we are even in the exam room--she noticed her walking backward on one visit and commented that it was a little early or ahead of the norm.  When I was concerned that my daughter didn't have a lot of words, she commented on the "words" she had heard while I was changing a diaper.  She's definitely paying attention to your child.

I've always found the staff friendly enough.  Sometimes I get charged for the school forms, and sometimes not.  I've never paid for an after-hours call.  Sometimes there is a wait, but it's almost always because they were squeezing in a sick kid, which is pretty common in a ped practice, and they've always been great about getting us in the same day when our kid was sick.

We love Dr. Barnes.  [/quote]
