Her OB/GYN internship and residency were completed in Indianapolis, Indiana. She again earned awards including the Top Gun laparoscopic surgery award.
After residency Dr Barnsfather moved to Kingwood with her son and husband. She worked in the area with Her Healthcare from 2006 until 2010 and is anxious to continue serving the community with Advanced Women’s Healthcare.
