I love helping people not only have more beautiful and healthy smiles, but have better lives from the confidence their smile inspires.
“When my son had to get braces I was pretty nervous, probably more so than he. We chose Dr. Barr due to local recommendations. It was a bit further to drive, but we heard she was excellent. The information proved true. Dr. Barr was impressive to say the least. She met my son and had him very involved right from the start. She showed us what the treatments would be, what he had to do to get the optimum results, and how I could help. Her humor and understanding of teenagers was so helpful. He actually looked forward to the visits. And now, he loves the compliments he gets on his always present smile. Thank you Dr. Barr. You are a joy and such a valuable part of our community.”
