"Dr. Barbu was absolutely wonderful from my first appointment with her through my last. As a professional singer and voice actor, I was quite nervous about having vocal surgery, but Dr. Barbu made me feel at ease. She answered all of my questions thoroughly (including some that I hadn't known to ask) and made herself available to me and my family throughout the surgical and recovery process. She expertly balances her experience and professionalism with kindness, patience, and real care for the patient which makes her very easy to trust. Needless to say, her surgical work was flawless and I have made a complete recovery. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone experiencing vocal health issues, including professional voice users, and particularly anyone anxious about the process. I could not be happier with my results, and California is lucky to have her!"

"If you are on this site, your search is over. You have just found your pot of gold. Dr. Barbu is a BRILLIANT SURGEON WITH A MAGIC WAND. I am a 63-year-old woman and I work as office manager at a family run small animal veterinary clinic. I was diagnosed as having stage 3 carcinoma that was covering three-fourths of my vocal cord. I could not speak, swallow, or breathe. I chose to have surgery performed by Dr. Barbu to remove over ninety percent of the tumor for biopsy. It has now been seventeen months and my cancer is still gone. We will miss Dr. Barbu here on the east coast. She is a sweet, down to earth, and compassionate woman. You are lucky to have her. She saved my voice and my life. Good luck to you."

"My praises and gratitude to Dr. Barbu could never do her justice. She listens to all concerns, and explains everything in detail, in a way even I could understand, even drawing sketches to help me see clearly. I highly recommend laser surgery as an alternative to chemical treatments. I am alive today because of Dr. Barbu and laser surgery."

"The outstanding care I received from Dr. Barbu is beyond compare. From the first appointment when she made me feel welcome with her friendly manner, comfortable with her supportive and patient nature, as well as secure in her obvious knowledge and professionalism."

"I could never repay Dr. Barbu for everything she has done for me. She not only restored my ability to speak, she improved the quality of my life: I had stopped speaking on the phone, even to my grandchildren; I no longer felt comfortable speaking in group settings, which jeopardized my work; and I even had to ask my wife to order for me when we went out to dinner because the waiting staff could not hear nor understand me. Not being able to speak or be understood is a terrifying experience. Dr. Barbu rescued me from that horror."

"Dr. Barbu was the best surgeon I have ever had pleasure of dealing with. She is an excellent surgeon, but foremost a compassionate and caring individual who puts her patient's concerns in the forefront at all times. I cannot say enough to impress upon anyone the true measure of Dr. Barbu."

"Because of Dr. Barbu, today I not only have my life back, but also the full quality of life that I had before cancer. Words can not ever fully express my gratitude. Thank you, Dr. Barbu, for everything you have done for me and my family."
