I started my adventure in Women's Healthcare in 1990 after the birth of my first child. A recent college graduate with a biology degree, I was looking for the right way to use my degree and take care of my new baby. I was very close to the childbirth educator and lactation consultant that I met during my pregnancy. With their encouragement, i did the training and testing necessary to become a certified childbirth educator. During my years of teaching, I met a nurse practitioner, and thought that would  be a good path for me. I went to nursing school and after graduation worked in labor and delivery and newborn nursery, and quickly went back to school for my master's degree. After graduation, I worked in numerous different settings - a Medicaid clinic, private practice, Kaiser Permanente, then back to private practice. I have been with Comprehensive Women's Healthcare since February, 2002.

I recently completed my board certification in Anti Aging and Functional Medicine. This was a long, enriching process that allowed me to learn many new things. The Academy of Anti Aging and Functional Medicine has a very good website, www.worldhealth.net.

I'm happily married to my college sweetheart, have four children, ages 22, 16, 9 and 6, that keep me very busy. I enjoy my new organic vegetable garden in the backyard, reading, digital scrapbooking, riding bikes, hiking, and playing outdoors with the kids. We also  an RV, and take several trips a year to explore the many State Parks of Texas.

You can make an appointment with me, Barbara Buckley, NP at 817-424-3112. I see patients Monday through Friday 8:30-12:30 at Comprehensive Women's Healthcare for Dr. Alan Cowen and Dr. Kerry Neal. We are located at 1600 W. College Street Suite 1101, Grapevine Texas 76051 inside Baylor Regional Medical Center - Grapevine.
