10 years now.
I have been working with Barton Associates for 10 ish years now and have completed more than 30 assignments, all successfully, and one nearly a year long. If I had to choose one thing that has put this company over the top, it is the person who is assigned to be your contact person. My person is Doug and he is based in Boston. He ensures that every little detail about my housing, my payment, credentialling, happiness in my work setting, and every other little thing is just right. He is a caring and compassionate person when I tell him about a rough patient that I've seen, a big glitch in my workday or just have a question about my paycheck. He is my contact person to Barton's vast array of services to ensure my success in my actual journey. Barton takes care of everything, I just have to supply them with the information that they need to make everything happen. I did an assignment for another company once, and it was good. But I had to do quite a bit for myself such as finding housing, running down a paycheck error, navigating credentialling with the facility myself and other things. I enjoyed the assignment but not the work it took to get there and stay there. With Barton, consistently over the course of 30+ assignments, I've had it all taken care of for me. I'm sure there are other people like Doug who take care of their providers, and just as well. But Doug is mine. And Barton clearly knows how to do locums the right way by giving me someone like Doug to run point.
The negotiated pay rate is competitive and the contracts are very fair. They really work to send you to the kind of assignment you seek.
10/10 If you are thinking of locums, give them a call and ask all your questions. I have truly loved working with them.

“But Doug is mine.” We love that. Having someone who knows you, listens after a tough day, and follows through on the details makes such a difference. We’re so glad Doug has been that person for you.
Ten years and more than 30 assignments together means a lot to us. Thank you for trusting us with so much of your locum journey and for taking the time to share this. We can’t wait to share it with Doug!

Working with Barton Associates
Working with Cailin at Barton has truly been a great experience. She helped me secure short locum assignments that fit exactly what I was looking for, and she made the whole process feel easy and stress‑free. Anytime I had a question, she was right there always available, always kind, and always keeping me updated on any changes. I really appreciated how supportive and communicative she was throughout everything. She’s a wonderful rep to work with, and I’m genuinely grateful for her help.
