Holland-Barkis is personable, relatable and takes the time to hear what you have to say. She is interested in you as a person and you are not just a number. I've gone to other providers at other offices who do not listen when I explain what is going on with myself or my son. Holland-Barkis is not like that at all. She trusty cares.
