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.
