Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Laura Barnes, FNP consistently receives exceptional praise for her compassionate, attentive approach to patient care. Reviewers repeatedly highlight her excellent communication skills, noting that she takes time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, treatments, and next steps in ways that both parents and children can understand. Her bedside manner stands out as a major strength, with patients describing her as kind, caring, professional, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing. Multiple reviews emphasize her willingness to listen carefully to concerns and answer all questions with patience and detail. Perhaps most notably, Laura demonstrates extraordinary follow-up care, with several families mentioning that she called after hours to check on patients, share test results, or ensure children were recovering well—actions that made families feel truly cared for rather than just processed through appointments.
Patients also share
The reviews provide minimal constructive criticism or opportunities for improvement. With ratings consistently in the 4.5 to 5.0 star range and overwhelmingly positive comments, patients did not identify significant areas where Laura's care fell short. The few reviews with slightly lower ratings (in the 4.0-4.5 range) still contained positive remarks without specifying particular concerns or issues that needed addressing. One review mentions that the family will miss her, suggesting possible staffing changes, but this reflects patient satisfaction rather than a service gap.
