Dr. Barr moved with his family to Sudbury in January of 1995 to take advantage of its ample access to winter activities, beautiful lakes and family-oriented lifestyle. He opened his plastic surgery practice in 1995 at the Sudbury General Hospital , but soon experienced extensive waiting lists for his cosmetic procedures.

The first private clinic facility formally opened in January of 1998. Soon a larger location was required to accommodate an expanding client base and Barr Plastic Surgery was moved in 2005 to 205 Douglas Street Sudbury .
