Dr. Barbara is so knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with people. She is honest and forthright but encouraging at the same time which is a skill more doctors should have. It makes me want to do better not to let her down because she has faith in me. I look forward to the time with her to learn more and more.

Dr. DeLateur's goal is to get me into eating healthy and losing weight. I have lost almost 25# since I started seeing her last summer and I am eating healthier than before. She has been giving me good information about healthy eating habits.
