Seamless experience
Teddy made my first locums experience with Barton very positive and enjoyable. I greatly appreciated his consistency, his excellent communication, his willingness to answer any questions I had, and his desire to ensure that I was comfortable and happy in my assignment. I truly felt that I was his only client because of the attentiveness and helpfulness he provided to me. This experience makes me want to continue a relationship with Barton because I feel cared for, heard as a provider, and appreciated as such. I'm very honest when I state that this has been the best locums experience I've ever had. And for all of this, I am grateful.

Impressive recruiter
My newest recruiter, Kelly Culhane has been very attentive, helpful, and a good listener regarding my needs for placement. She frequently checks in with my new assignment to make sure all is going well and serve as my advocate.

Barton Associates: Where Great Recruiters Make Locum Life Possible
Barton Assoc is my very first Locum Job. My first recruiter left and I was devastated. The previous recruiter told me she would make sure my file would be handled by one of the best.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my recruiter, Daniela Barrera. When you work locums, having the right recruiter makes all the difference, and Daniela is truly one of the reasons I am able to continue embracing and enjoying my locum life.
Daniela makes sure I have contracts that are a good fit for me, but her support goes far beyond the contract. She makes sure the details are handled, from my travel arrangements to my rental car and everything in between, so I can arrive at an assignment ready to focus on my patients instead of worrying about logistics.
What makes Daniela so special is that she genuinely cares. She calls to check on me, makes sure I am doing okay, listens when I have concerns, and never makes me feel like I am just another provider filling an assignment. She encourages me, advocates for me, and has been a consistent source of support throughout my locum journey.
Locum life can be an amazing experience, but there is a lot that happens behind the scenes. Having someone like Daniela in your corner makes that experience so much better. I know that if I have a concern or need something, I can reach out to her and she will listen and do everything she can to help.
Daniela is an exceptional recruiter, but more importantly, she is a special person. She is truly a bright light at Barton Associates, and I am incredibly grateful to have her as part of my Livin’ La Vida Locum journey

Demetria, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Reading about your experience with Daniela made our day.
What you described — the calls to check in, the way she handles the little logistics so you can focus on your patients, never feeling like "just another provider" — that's exactly the kind of recruiter relationship we hope every clinician gets to experience. Daniela clearly brings a lot of heart to her work, and we're grateful she's the one who's had your back since your first recruiter left.
We'll be sure Daniela sees this. Here's to many more chapters in your Livin' La Vida Locum journey, we're glad to be part of it.
