Does Dr. Barley treat patients with sore throats, bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia?
Sore throats may simply signal the onset of a common cold, or may be an early symptom of a more serious illness. Patients frequently misunderstand symptoms of respiratory illnesses, and ignore treatments that help avoid more serious infections that sometimes follow the common cold or other viral illnesses. While not all cold sufferers need an office visit, a conversation with their physician can determine if one is necessary. Dr. Barley is well versed in most illnesses of the respiratory tract and their treatments, and feels that early diagnosis and treatment is an important part of the health of his patients.
