I have been under the care of Dr. William Barnard for several years, and I can't express enough how thankful I am for his expertise in psychiatry. I initially sought his help for managing ADHD alongside complex comorbidities like depression and emotional dysregulation. Dr. Barnard's dedication and extensive knowledge shone through as we navigated through several different prescriptions and dosage adjustments. Thanks to Dr. Barnard's understanding of these conditions and his experience, I can confidently say that I've been living my best life for the past five years. His guidance and treatment have been instrumental in my journey towards better mental health and overall well-being. Beyond his professional excellence, Dr. Barnard is a genuinely great person to talk to. He listens attentively and makes you feel valued as a patient. I couldn't recommend Dr. William Barnard more highly. If you're seeking compassionate and effective psychiatric care contact Dr. Barnard.

I have had nothing but a good experience with Dr. Barnard. I feel like he really listens, is willing to work to find the best medication combination for me and truly seems like he cares. He has helped me tremendously and is a great doctor.

Dr. Barnard gave me his full attention during our session - he took occasional notes and asked thoughtful questions. It was my first visit and I plan on seeing him again.

he was abrupt and did not spend an adequate time explaining my diagnosis. he was quick to dispense medication and didnt listen to my apprehension. I've gone to a lot of psych and he didnt spend nearly enough time communicating with me. He just asked questions in a monotone voice like he was reading from a text book. I felt zero trust and very little if any connection. it was frustrating. I wont be going back. he never followed up even though i was a new patient getting drugs from him for the first time!
