Dr. Octavio E. Barrios, MD

It has not been a good experience for me with this clinic. I have had trouble getting my medication on time and the staff is difficult to work with.

Wont be back, rude staff, they create situations to charge you more without any explanation, they dont follow through and dont pay attention.

Absolutely incredible. I did not think there were still PCPs like this doctor outside of $10,000/year private concierge doctors. Dr. Barrios office is super super easy to get ahold of and talk with. They work with my insurance, PBM, and pharmacy far more efficiently/effortlessly than any of my other doctors offices or major hospital clinics. Painstakingly detailed records are kept during each appointment and thoroughly reviewed both before and during each appointment. Dr. Barrios works incredibly hard to find the root causes for my ailments but also never hesitates to tell me where I am misguided about something and where to proceed with caution and monitoring before seeking any intervention. He takes SO MUCH quality time with me each appointment that I almost feel bad for using up his day! Wait times are normal, just 10-20 minutes. I am just so impressed with his personal attention and care; I think this is nearly impossible to find anywhere else these days. I am very super confused by some of the low ratings here. He is far too diligent for my experience to just be luck of the draw. It is clear that he stays up to date educating himself on the latest literature and best practices for a wide variety of issues. Medicine isnt just his day job, its clear that its a lifelong passion for Dr. Barrios. When he encounters something new he studies it in great detail and constantly reassesses whether the practices hes learned in the past are still considered to be the best practices to address the problem. He approaches unexpected information with an attitude of I think there is probably either something I can learn today or some details that I might be missing that I need to ask the patient to right questions to find out rather than just dismissing unexpected things with the more typical No. That other doctor is wrong because it is not the same as what I would do. He will definitely question you a bit more if some of the things you say dont quite make sense, rather than just moving on and leaving holes in the details. He is very pleasant to work with and is very patient, and understands personalities and people well. He wants you to live with as much health and comfort as possible and will push you follow up on proper tests and care, and encourage you to make the right choices for your long term well-being. His offices are pretty bare-bones. They lack glitz/glamour and are not part of a large integrated facility building. You do have to go to another building/facility to get the tests he orders but his staff is amazing at getting these orders sent in to nearby facilities before you even walk out. Its usually just a 5 minute drive to x-rays, blood tests, and MRIs at a nearby convenient Memorial Hermann center. I feel super lucky that I found Dr. Barrios.

I noticed the people that gave low reviews for Dr. Barrios have tons of other bad reviews they gave other places too. These are not factual. In my opinion it is super rare to find a doctor that doesnt treat you like a number, instead he actually cares about you as a patient and person. I dont see how some people feel thats unprofessional. I worked many years in the medical field and feel very fortunate to have met Dr. Barrios. He is knowledgeable, kind and humble. If he doesnt treat what specific problem you have he will refer out to a specialist that he knows for sure is good. I cant give an opinion on his staff because I have not dealt with them much. He is very hands on with his practice and doesnt hide behind a staff.
