Testimonials

J.R. — My experience with Barton Associates had been nothing more than amazing. Staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. I am so impressed by this company. Never experienced a single problem.
Bob K. — I had a gap in my schedule. Barton arranged for a placement but it turned out the clinic was not ready. They quickly arranged for another 4-week placement that turned out better than the previously arranged one ever could have been.
Masoud T. — I signed up with Barton Associates a few months ago. The recruiter I have worked with, is phenomenal in working with me and working with the hospital client, as well as the credentialing. They have been professional, cordial, and attentive to my needs as well as the needs of their corporate client.
N. Logan — I have been getting NP assignments from Barton Associates since 2016, and have nothing but good things to say about them. Every recruiter I have worked with has given me topnotch service, from finding appropriate assignments, to support before and after. I especially appreciate how they check in with me regularly, to update their job searches on my behalf.
