My difficulty with Dr. MBarth is that he does not like questions. A patient ought always to be able to ask questions when they are unsure, and expect their physician to guide them--preferably without attitude and cockiness. After he examined me, he recommended treatment, which included antibiotics. Since he is not my GO and my regular GO had previously advised that too many antibiotics within a short period is counter - productive and unhealthy to the body, I asked M.Barth whether there was an alternative I could consider. He was rather rude and then proceeded to tell me about his 23 years as a medical doctor. He one offered no alternatives (if there were any) and told me essentially that I can take or leave the prescription. That is not a professional or even helpful attitude. I preferred to proceed with caution, heeding the advice of my GP to limit antibiotics exposure and so I did not fill the prescription. I've been taking garlic every day and my symptoms gradually disappearing.
