There is not a better or more compassionate doctor around. Dr. Barnett was my OBGYN for many years. I hate that he closed his practice. There will never be another like him!

He detected a brain tumor I had at my first appointment. After I had gone to Doctors for 2 years with no results. He's the smartest person I know. He saved my life!

I started going to him when during my first pregnancy, and was pretty young and unsure. Lol, very nervous. He quickly put me at ease, always answered my questions, took his time and made sure that he didn't miss or ignore any of my concerns. When it came time to give birth, I was not dilating, and the baby's heart rate started dropping. He very kindly, calmly told me that it was time for a csection. And I have to say, he handled my tears quite well LOL. Operation went very quickly, no issues at all. And ladies, if you have to get a c section, he's the one to go to! It doesn't show above my jeans, or bikini, and it's only four inches long, and very thin. So glad I chose a doctor who really cares about his patients, and does the best he can to reduce your pain and scarring. Would recommend him to anyone!
