Dr. Barsella was very good with my daughter and the rest of my kids for that matter. He gave us very good information and explained the information to my daughter in a way she could understand and not be anxious. He was really great and knowledgeable and I appreciate him for that! The treatment for my daughter wasnâ€™t a quick fix, Dr Barsella gave us the best treatment that was best for my daughters health long term.
