Dr. Francisco Barrera, MD

Great staff. Well knowledged. Professional attitude. Friendly. Organized and wonderful lab! Always willing to call for an appointment reminder and works with you on setting up next appointments.

Dr. Barrera needs to get rid of his front desk staff! Lupe "P"? in particular is the rudest person in the planet! My mother had an appointment with him on 8/11/16. She told my mother, my daughter and my brother that Dr. Barrera couldn't see her cause she had a different doctor on her insurance. My mother has seen Dr. for 20 years. During the time my mom didn't have health insurance, she would pay "private pay". My brother offered to pay cash for this appointment but Lupe took it upon herself to deny my mother access to see the doctor that she had seen for over two decades! My mom's insurance is a PPO, so clearly she could have been allowed to see the doctor. Lupe just decided on her own that she would not allow this. My mother NEEDED to see the doctor since she suffered from high blood pressure. This was a follow up appointment. My mother passed away 13 days later from a stroke! Perhaps if my mom had been allowed to see the doctor on 8/11/16, my mom would still be alive!

I was seen by Dr. Barrera's nurse-practitioner in August 2006 for the after-effects of severe orthopedic trauma sustained

in September 2001. I never met the doctor.



The treatment of the n/p was quite good, but I was unable to have any follow-ups with the doctor, but not because of him.

Rather, it was because of the lady in whose poorly-run unlicensed Group Home I lived from 2002 to late 2007. That place

was, frankly, a stinking hellhole.
