Working with Sarah proved "painless" and seamless. She was great! Very professional.
misleading and deceptive
Barton Associates thrives on deception and exploitation. While contracting me to work in rural Oklahoma, I fought for fair compensation, which Barton agreed to, yet they still failed to deliver and withheld what was rightfully owed. To this day, I have not been fully compensated, and this is the second time Barton has failed to honor payment commitments. On both occasions, recruiter then manager Robbie Cotto was directly involved ; at one point casually stating I should have received much more but didn’t because I hadn’t asked, while later denying even basic reimbursements once I did. This exposes Barton’s true model: exploit physicians until pressed, and still resist honoring commitments.
I had already worked in this region, knowing the community’s need was urgent, so I accepted less than my usual rate in good faith. What I expected in return was honesty and fairness , instead I had to battle to recover even the most fundamental costs of doing the job, while Barton actively lied to me, even going so far as to claim I could not discuss my rate to prevent others from realizing how exploitative it truly was. Speaking with other physicians confirmed this is a known pattern: Barton misleads, underpays, and seeks to hide their practices through dishonesty.
I will never work with them again and take the steps necessary to ensure that no physician is subjected to this treatment and that Barton’s greed does not obstruct the care desperately needed in rural and underserved communities.
No surprises
Everything worked out as my manager at Barton told me. I had no surprises. I found it easy to interface with the timesheets and mileage record to get paid. I would recommend working with them again.
Great support! Quick call back!
They were with me, never felt like I was on my own.

I love working with Haley
I love working with Haley. She takes great care of me and works so consistently on my behalf. She always puts me in the best possible position with my job.
I never set out to do locum work
I never set out to do locum work. Necessity drove my decision to dip my toe into that pond. My recruiter placed me in the perfect setting for a first assignment. She took the time to get to know me, my background, my approach to patient care, and my passions. My first assignment ended and I am ready to go again!
