State records: Dr. Barr first licensed in 1976

Up-to-date equipment draws comment in nine reviews, and the website lists low-radiation digital X-rays. Sanford Barr has been licensed in Illinois since 1976, and four reviewers call themselves patients for life. It keeps office hours in the Loop, 8 am to 5 pm Monday to Thursday and until 2 pm Friday, so an early visit can fit before work.
