I specialize in gastroenterology, specifically adult inflammatory bowel diseases including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. I also see patients with a variety of digestive issues including fecal transplant for C. diff. colitis. I became a physician because I truly enjoy interacting with people and helping them feel better in whatever way I can. I like to emphasize good communication between providers and patients. It is important to work together with each patient to provide education and a personalized treatment plan that we both agree upon. Listening and understanding what each patient needs is vital to our success. Before working at Duke Health, I practiced as a gastroenterologist in the greater Boston area at the Lahey Clinic for 12 years. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, reading fiction novels, and practicing yoga. Dr. Barto is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data.

I strongly believe that the doctor-patient relationship is key in the practice of medicine and the most essential component for the delivery of high quality health care in the diagnosis and management of disease. As such, as a gastroenterologist and hepatologist, my favorite part of the day starts with getting to know the patient. I have a passion for taking care of patients with liver disease with a particular interest in liver cancer and liver transplantation. In addition to my clinical interests, I also have an interest in improving how health care is delivered to patients using innovative and cutting edge technologies.

For me, the most important aspect of being a physician is to develop an honest, trust-based relationship with patients which allows us to work together.

I became a doctor because of my lifelong desire to help people. In fact, when asked as a young child to draw a picture of what I wanted to be when I grew up, I drew a picture of myself with a stethoscope. Gastroenterology appealed to me because it involves complaints that almost everyone experiences at some point, and helping people feel better is very gratifying. In my practice, I see adults with common digestive tract issues, including heartburn, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, as well as a focus in seeing patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). I believe spending the time to get a detailed history from each patient is valuable, not only for diagnosing and successfully treating or managing these conditions but also for establishing an open, comfortable physician-patient relationship.

It is important to me that my patients understand that they are part of the team when it comes to taking care of their gastrointestinal conditions. I will help them make the best decisions, but will not push them to do anything with which they are uncomfortable. Therefore, it is also very important to me that my patients feel well-educated about their gastrointestinal condition so that they can help make the decisions that are best for them.
