Although I'm now an adult, I'm a former patient of Dr. Barren. I would not recommend him. When he pulled my tooth, it was a messy job (blood everwhere!), and it caused me great pain. A few years later, he diagnosed me as having an extra tooth and tried to convince my parents to take me to an oral surgeon (they didn't, and the supposed tooth never came in). I still wouldn't take my children to this dentist.
