    I'm having a little difficulty understanding why no one could figure out my records from just a couple of years ago when I had a surgery. I know I was told that the system that is used now is different than the system last year and is different from the system before that. But that's kind of concerning.

    Yes, I reached out to Dr. Barnett due to a post-surgical complication. He offered to have me come in with a different provider that same day, but he also then saw me within 24 hours, which is what I had asked to wait to see him. So he saw me within 24 hours of me calling for an appointment, and for a very busy surgeon, I was very impressed.
