One of the worst experiences of my life. Dr. Barnard is doing unnecessary procedures to drum up capitol. He did a botch incision on my lower back that has now caused me a lifelong health issue. I have been in pain for a year with no end in sight. Think twice before you choose to see this dermatologist. He removed 6 unnecessary moles from my body and cut through ligaments in my back that have never and will never heal. I am left with back pain for life all so Dr. Barnard could make more money! This is fraud and he has been reported to the California state medical board who is reviewing his license. Beware!

Dr. Barnard and his staff are excellent. They are both well versed medically and seem to truly care about their patients. The office is gorgeous as well. I've been going to Dr. Barnard for a number of years and I highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Barnard for several years and can't say enough about the level or care I received. He takes all the time needed to deal with your issue and in my case has been spot on with his treatment and diagnosis.
