So effectiveness is good, but where Dr. Barrett and Osteopathic Healthcare really stand out is in the calming, clean, refreshing atmosphere and approach to treatment. I'm always greeted with a smile, the people at the desk know who I am and are friendly and efficient. The office is super convenient in Falmouth but faces the water in the back so when you're in most of the treatment rooms all you see is marsh plants and birds and the occasional small mammal if you look down :). These might seem like small things but they really make a difference. Add to that Dr. Barrett's professionalism combined with a wonderful and soothing manner and I really can't recommend these guys enough. The only problem I ever run into is that once people get into this practice I don't think many of them leave again, so it can be tough to get an appointment some times. But they'll let you make two or three in advance, so it usually works out okay.
Description of Work: I am with Dr. Barrett at Osteopathic Healthcare for ongoing treatment for chronic migraines. This last appointment, like all the others, left me feeling relaxed and recharged. It's not so much that these treatments make my migraines go away - although I think they have slowly gotten less - it's more that the treatments drain away the accumulated stress and soreness that come with being in near constant low level pain. That's the kind of migraines I have - more constant than episodic - and it's really the wear and tear that does a person in. And Dr. Barrett specifically has a wonderful manner - professional, earnest and well informed, but also relaxing, soothing and casual.

I have to wait for an appointment. He is very punctual. At first they wanted me to pay in the office but I always pay when I get the bills so they stopped bothering me. He practically saved my life last year and I thought I would never be able to walk again. My general practitioner wanted to schedule me for a spinal operation to fuse some vertebra and with his treatment he relieved my pain and got my body to heal itself which was excellent.
Description of Work: Dr. Gilson is my osteopath. I see him every month. I will see him again in a week.
