His secret desire is to be a great songwriter and tour the world as the lead singer of a rock band. "When I started dental school I felt it was time to get rid of my pierced ear and the pony tail in my hair. I think Jon BonJovi stole my life" says Dr. Barrows. He can sometimes be seen around Yuma playing guitar and singing in his band "HOOK".
