Very kind group of Drs always have my concerns first

5 out of 5 stars

I had this medical issue for over 6 months and was very worried about it. Not only did Dr. Bartus diagnose me minutes, she suggested a treatment and did the procedure right then and there. It's been 2 months and I'm doing great.

Dr. Bartus saved my life. Four doctors failed to diagnose me. I asked for Dr Bartus to help me. She saw my problem on the CT scan and immediately canceled her day and rushed me to the OR. She and her fabulous team fixed the problem in two hours and I have my life back. I will be eternally grateful to her. She is my living angel and she rocks.

A down to earth doctor who explained everything to me with care and concern. I was referred to Dr. Bartus, and everyone I spoke to said very flattering things about her knowledge and skill, as well as her bedside manner.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Bartus and her entire staff, including her hospital staff, are absolutely amazing. I’ve known her for well over 10 years now and Im here because she saved my life. She is one of most professional, but still kind hearted people I know. You will be lucky to have her as your doctor.

My recent visit to the offices of Dr. Bartus was most helpful. She and nurse Sampson explained the results of recent clinical tests to me in a clear, professional, and understandable way. I highly recommend her, her office, and staff to anyone who may need services in her specialty.
