Dr. Lynda Joan Barger, MD

Dr. Barger insisted I was depressed. When the antidepressant medication didn’t work, she suggested lithium in addition. She also told me to get out of bed and stop worrying my parents. I was a teenager and it was found shortly after I had lupus.

Dr. Barber does a good enough job prescribing medications and she is clearly knowledgable-as she should be. Unfortunately, she is difficult to communicate with as she is abrasive and arrogant. Her peraonality is direct, and that's good (for me, at least) but it comes with a dominating aspect. You feel like a child when she speaks to you, as if she is speaking down to you. We left her practice because of this. Again, she is competent, but her hard personality is difficult to accommodate.

In my opinion based on the treatment of my daughter for over a year DR Barger mis precribed drugs not approved for anyone under 18. Instead of changing drugs she treated serious side effects with more drugs that caused more side effects. If you use Dr barger watch the medications she prescribes closely. I would not let her treat side effects like tremors with medication for Parkinson patients.
