Not sure what to say?

He was my childhood doctor and I was so lucky to have run into him again at the little emergency clinic in GILROY when my now 18 year old daughter was a baby. I will always remember him fondly.

We are so sorry to hear about your father loss. He was awesome doctor that my daughter Jacqueline has followed his footsteps. She has graduated from her residency in Santa Rosa and will starting her journey in July up north. Our family were blessed to have him as our physician. Deepest sympathy to your and your family, Laura

HE WAS MY BEST DOCTOR AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHEN HE WOULD MAKE HOUSE CALLS . AND MAN HE SURE CAME TO OUR HOUSE ALOT. MISS YOU DOCTOR DAVID BARTON.

Such a loss I think of him every time i get sick and wander what he would think about this pandemic and because I know if it was possible he would give me the correct answers, DR. Barton always made time for us even when his waiting room was full, where we would sit and look at those highlite magazines he had in the waiting room, but the most wise and patient doctor Ive had in my life time and Im 58 now, on this anniversary of your passing I thank you Dr. . and may the loving arms of Jesus...

Dr Barton took me with my friend Ann in grammar school on trips and camping with Sally and his son. He even taught me how to catch a fish with my hands in a stream. I really missed the whole family when they moved to Gilroy. I think it was a move when Ann and I were ending the fifth grade. He and his wife were wonderful people. I have never forgotten the wonderful times we had.

Dr Barton was our physician since before my marriage. He delivered all five of my children & was involved with their care for most of their young lives. He was a caring doctor and will be sorely missed.
I have often wondered about him & his family as I used to see him out bike riding or hiking around Gavilan College. He was great to talk with and very witty.

Dr. Barton was more than our family physician. He was a good friend and one of the most genuine, kind, and caring people I have ever known. He was my personal inspiration when I decided to pursue medicine as a career, and I modeled my own style of practice on the example he set. Thank you, Dr. Barton.

Im convinced that doctor Barton was the best doctor I have ever known, not only did he deliver me as a baby at Wheeler hospital, he diagnosed my many ailments as his patient for many years, much to any misdiagnosis given tome by other doctors, he was the best hands down, my condolences to his family and ill tell him thank you once again in my prayers.!!

Our family Doctor since 1962. I remember him as very personal yet very professional. We called on him for house calls and HE CAME! I talk of him often as a model for what a family doctor should be. He always looked for what was best for the patient and the family.
