Kirsten E Barnes, M.D. - Santa Cruz (CA)

5 /5 Lesal HQ: Im one of the Lucky ones to have Dr Kristen Barnes as my primary doctor! She goes above and beyond in helping me navigate my health issues! I honestly cant say enough good about her. I was just there yesterday and she apologized for running a little late, I have no problem with waiting for her because the first time I met her I was in crisis(I had just been assigned to her) and she said she wanted to know everything about what was happening and I know people behind me had to wait but I felt like a person finally instead of a number! I hope she never leaves!

5 /5 Clint Ryle: My previous care provider left Sutter, who I had seen over the last 15+ years, and Dr. Barnes was assigned as my new doctor. I was pretty concerned about starting over with a new doctor. I have a lot of health issues, some age related, some bad decisions, some just bad luck I guess. Dr. Barnes took a lot of time going over things with me. She has consistently listened to my concerns and has provided excellent care. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a primary care provider.

5 /5 Christine Burdick: Dr. Barnes is my PCP. I have found her to be a very good listener, who responds to concerns and questions. She has been available through the MyHealthOnline for questions about my ongoing care. She seems to be genuinely concerned about my specific and overall health. I am glad she is the quarterback on my healthcare team.

5 /5 Harriett Robles: Seems very knowledgeable. Very caring. Listens carefully, asks good questions. Doesnt rush the patient. Promptly refers to specialists as needed. Easy to communicate with her and her assistant on line. Does video appointments, which is very convenient for issues not requiring an in-person visit.

5 /5 Terri Owen: Dr. Barnes is so nice and extremely smart. Very informed and takes the time to explain things. Has been a great doctor these last few years.
