Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He was great. He was kind, listened to me, and was so knowledgeable.

This is the most cold, condescending, arrogant Dr that I’ve ever come across. He belittles his patients and makes them think that they’re idiots. No bedside manner whatsoever. No humanity. Stay away

Helped me to comfortably get off Xanax/Klonopin
I was on Xanax and Klonopin for years, given to me by doctors who never told me the risks. I sought out Dr. Barnes for help in getting off, as other doctors either told me I needed to be on it for the rest of my life or wanted to stop me cold turkey. Dr. Barnes was kind, patient, and knowledgeable about benzos. He helped me to get off slowly, comfortably, and safely, which I didn't even think was possible. A million thanks.
