In patients' words
"Our family has gone to Dr. Barp for many years for our foot issues. He's helped with every issue we have had with gentleness, professionalism, and very effective results."
— The Iowa Clinic Website"If you are needing surgery I definitely wouldn’t recommend him. He made a huge mistake with a surgery and lied about it!"
— RateMDs"I like my Dr but the clinic itself is the most unorganized office I've ever seen. Today was the last straw I will be changing Drs."
